🤔 Thanks for the info. I don't know if the Allison rep would say "get a new Allison transmission" over "change transmission fluid"... Lord knows it wouldn't be the first (or last) sheisty thing a dealer / rep / repair shop would say.

***Update*** Seriously bad day today. First, the shop is charging ~$1,700 for 15 hrs of "diagnostic time", which culminated in saying an Allison rep was needed. The Allison shop, upon reviewing the codes, determined it would need a new transmission. Cain's quoted me $11,300 for a new...

Congrats! I brought two (2) new batteries and you need to make sure the new ones are the ones closest to the frame of the truck. For example: 1 2 3 4 Batteries 1 & 2 should be the new ones. #2 should be your strongest battery. When it fires up, it will make God awful beeping noises until...

I did a full cooling system flush when I first got the M998. It will get to 220° and the fan kicks on as long as I am moving. I switched away from the armored grille and it helps. If I'm creeping along in a parade, the fan doesn't kick on, and it will go north of 220. These fans are to bring...

Just traced the wire farther; went out to engine compartment and has power spliced off the light switches. Probably an IR light, as @Retiredwarhorses noted. Perfect for my use, since I am installing two (2) supplemental fans under the grille to help keep the operating temp down. Just need to...

🤔 I have a blackout light on the light selector to the left of the switch. Might have been for a flashing light... This was a Ft. Bragg resident, and I surmise the 88k miles to be original and exclusive to on-base. Maybe an MP HMMWV...

Yes; I looked in the TMs. No, it isn't depicted. Only thing I can guess this might be associated with is the generator throttle handle (i.e., power feed on / off). Anyone know what this does? Yes, I've messed with it with truck on & truck off... Thanks in advance.

$500 for the tow. If your MV needs a tow in the Fayetteville, NC area, use Phillips Towing.

So.... Got ~5mi away from GP site, about 1 mi down I-95 and the transmission just stopped transmitting power. Pulled over, no big deal, rest stop, all safe. I shut the truck off, turned on, nursed it a hundred yards or so, same thing. Shut off, turned on, pushed "D", it went in Reverse...

Swapped in two (2) new batteries, charged the other two (2) and she fired right up! All indicators and alarms STFU after she ran a bit and charged the pneumatic system. Headed home down two-lane highways with a buddy behind in my Tacoma. ~2.5 - 3 hr transit expected. Reinstalled rear...

Last Monday my EUC got approved (something to be thankful for just before Thanksgiving). I'm headed out to Bragg this Friday, 12/4. Bringing two (2) new batteries, inverter generator, two (2) battery chargers, the 12 ga wire with alligator clips per Simp, a pump to drain the fuel, and 10...

Excellent input; I will add that to my recovery kit. Thank you!

Yeah; I have had a lot of interaction with the main guy at the yard and he doesn't inspire confidence. They do the absolute bare minimum.at best to disposition items to sell.

Sadly, not yet. My EUC was submitted to TSC a five (5) weeks ago and by all accounts should have been approved two (2) to three (3) weeks ago. 😒

Beautiful paint job!

I'm just going by the research from 2020: look at this year's MV of the Month winners. With one (1) exception (June), all winners are heavy trucks. Not bitter, just saying this appears to be the year of the big truck.

All trucks, most big. If you don't have a big truck, or a tank, don't waste your time submitting.

I was wallowing in frustration this morning, trying to find some sort of contact info for TSC when I stumbled upon this. It is from April 2020, and hopefully it will portend a faster processing of EUCs in the future. Keep in mind that this is a government agency function, so doubtless we are at...

I'm interested
