    Need for brake upgrade after drive ratio change for more speed?

    I don't have search terms but I know for a fact that Meritor makes disk brake versions of our LMTV axles and I have seen them on an advertising brochure. I would be a swap to disks would improve a number of brake functions.... One of my holy grail mods in the distant future. OD

    M1078 transmission questions

    there is a port! yea had to switch pipe to NPT and all that crap... The port on the trans is 1/4" but all the senders I can find are 1/8" and I needed a little extension for the probe. I will try to get a pic of the setup. Here is a pic of the port and its location. I believe I have the right...

    M1078 transmission questions

    I was planning on adapting a trans temp sensor on the test port located just above the driver side filter. I have a pic in my ATF swap post. I have the sensor and the mess of adapters required just haven't gotten around to it yet...

    mkcoen, I have not installed a primary belt pulley yet that would need longer fan bolts. I have been told that my prototype pulley is on the way to me. When I get to it I will post up bolt info for that.

    LMTV / FMTV AC Air Conditioner Compressor Mounting Brackets Install Write Up

    I could but it would be very crowded :) No joy on brake lights yet. No power at brake switch when lights set to stoplight and the relay has no power... time to breakout the -20 :(

    LMTV Air Conditioner AC Main Unit Gen1 and Gen2 Details

    It would explain you blowing the 15A 12v fuse then the 20A. At 25A and 12v it can handle 300 watts. Using volts times amps a 30A 12v fuse would be the equivalent of a 15A 24v fuse... 360 watts. And why the Gen2 15A 24v breaker didn't trip on the unit.

    LMTV Air Conditioner AC Main Unit Gen1 and Gen2 Details

    ok, just wondering on fuses... Yep, on the panel lights only 12v use, I had that in #6 on my list. I tapped that line for my aux switch panel lights. Well, I am thinking there is a difference in 12v vs 24v fuses.. would be a neat test to try a 15a 24v fuse in there. watts = volts x amps right...

    LMTV Air Conditioner AC Main Unit Gen1 and Gen2 Details

    That's interesting... hmmm. Good note on the power usage. That 5 minute run on 20 amp fuse then blowing... Did you touch the wiring and see if it was hot? I am not an electrical engineer but I wonder if the combo of the fuse at one end and the breaker at the unit would cause the first fuse...

    LMTV M1078 Transmission Fluid Change To ATF Write Up

    I don't want to misquote the relearn procedure. It's in the same -20 as the filter change, 2320-365-20-3. If I remember right it is mentioned in several procedures dealing with changing out the trans shift controller. Master power on wait for trans control light to show current gear, rinse...
