    1997 M1078 will not start

    The M0017703 and M0017705 starters are interchangeable. The only difference is the 03 has a small connector on the end that is not used anymore. Other than that the 05 is e-coated and the 03 is painted. Everything else is the same.

    Is there a consensus on cab floor sound / heat shield?

    How do you like this stuff? Is it a rubber or asphalt? It's hard to narrow down what I want to use. There are 3 things I want... One is sound, and of course heat and lastly I wants something that will resist water. The stuff the factory used will soak up water. As a matter of fact I spray the...

    Critical FMTV PM not covered in TMs

    Why not just use ATF? It's basically hydraulic oil with a some additives for the clutches. It should not adversely harm anything.

    Critical FMTV PM not covered in TMs

    DO NOT use skydrol (aircraft fluid)! This will ruin the entire system! If the system isn't designed to use Skydrol it will eat and destroy every part in the system that isn't metal! (I work at a major aircraft company and see what skydrol does to stuff... and that is turn stuff to goo rubber...
