    1078 LMTV A0 windshield wiper

    You may be able to take the arms off and put them back on at rest position. If that dosnt work then you will have to reset the linkage.

    NO CHARGE staying on.

    Not all alternators are compatible with the newer charge systems. Is it a recent problem or it has always been a problem? If its not an alternator or connection issue its usually the lbcd.

    Essential Tools to have for an FMTV? Add your .02

    The robo impact is good for humvee lugs thats about it. I have a big milwaukee fuel cordless impact that can usually do the lmtv lugs. If they are over torques I have a big ingersoll air gun. But the harbor freight 3/4 air gun does work well. Its a copy of the big ingersoll.

    M1088A1 - All Service Brakes will not release

    The air alcohol wont help. You need to upgrade the air dryer and get all the moisture out.

    M1088A1 - All Service Brakes will not release

    If its cold out and you have some moisture in the system it can freeze up and cause the same non releasing brakes. Sometimes letting the truck run and really warm up will defrost it.

    grounding issue?

    I would use a large cutoff switch or a relay to switch it. A small toggle switch cant handle the current of the converter under load.

    Towing with m998 a

    And with heavy weight like that the transfer case will get chain bind you will have to drive backwards to unbind it.

    Towing with m998 a

    Imagine if all that weight didn’t want to stop when you braked hard and all 4 axle shafts just snapped. Just the inertia of a free spinning wheel can easily snap a half shaft if you brake too hard.

    M1088A1 -middle axle air solenoid piston air supply line snapped

    Its generic air line you can get it at napa. Just take a piece with you. You will need the little brass bushings when you go to install the new piece.

    LMTV windshield wiper controller

    The manufacturer sells them new for around 170.

    LMTV windshield wiper controller

    You can adjust the linkage if the wipers come to rest in the wrong position. If they won’t shut off it’s probably a bad stalk. But could also be a bad motor. I believe the motor keeps going till the wipers are at rest position. There is a switch in the motor. If that is not working it may cause...

    A1R Alternator/Charging Conversion Solution

    I would leave the 12v supply connected how it is and the equalizer will keep the batteries balanced thats what it does.

    A1R Alternator/Charging Conversion Solution

    The 100 amp battery equalizer will work just fine for 12v. I think the lbcd did some charge regulating. Especially for agm type batteries. It will still act as reverse polarity protection with the cannon plug disconnected. You may be able to leave it in place just remove the 12v feed from the...

    M1089 air leak

    If the ctis tries to do its thing and you have a regular bolt going into the hub where a banjo bolt belongs it can cause a flat tire on that wheel.

    GL Lost Surplus Contract

    Stuff is coming out now. Prices are very high. I believe all the new parts are pretty much being bought up by a few big buyers that bid it back to gov contracts. GL would separate alot of the stuff into categories and do a different ending day for the different categories. GP lumps it all into 2...

    Lost CTIS and all air driven stuff ?

    The lube turns into hard pieces and gets stuck in places. I would start with seeing if there is air going from the compressor to the air dryer. Small steps.

    Lost CTIS and all air driven stuff ?

    If the air compressor is indeed not making pressure I would check the governor first. Its mounted on the compressor. And the unloader could be stuck open. The lubricant can harden over time and cause issues. The unloader can be rebuilt without removing the compressor. Its a dual piston...
