What is the difference between the old style and new style fan clutches? I've seen newer fans (without clutch) on evil bay with steel centers, are the old ones aluminum?

Here is a pic to show where the movement is at (red line). Should there be no movement at that spot? What else should I check?

I did a quick check on the compressor bolts on the front and back bracket. I didn't find any loose bolts or notice any cracks in the front housing. I checked the fan with the power switch off and then with the power switch on. In the off position it doesn't move at all or have any play. With...

I'm glad you get the same vibration too. I thought idle might be a bit on the low side. I'm used to having a tach that I can see exactly where it is, but I just have to go by feel on this one. I'll look to see where I adjust this on the motor.

I ordered the rebuild kits for the air ride today from OHS. Air rushes right out of the bags now so I couldn't test with air ride activated.

I will check with the extension as you describe. I checked the motor mount bolts and all were tight and the rubber part looked to be in good shape. I did check the fly wheel / flex plate bolts as described in Adventure Driven's video on here. They were all tight, none were loose.

I have a M1078 with a CAT 3116 and at idle notice vibration coming from the motor sometimes. The cab seems to amplify the vibration and make it more noticeable as the door panels make noise against the door. If I give it some throttle the vibration goes away. I don't feel it while driving...

It looks like they are back on the road if you follow their Instagram page: https://www.instagram.com/dieselpowerwolfpack/ Here is an article in Outside Mag that was just published about their adventures with the LMTV: https://www.outsideonline.com/2245956/we-bought-military-truck-so-you-dont-have

How much vibration are you getting from the engine? Can you feel it when seated in the cab? Is it worse at idle or higher rpm? Do you have much belt flutter "slap"? Did you check the air compressor to make sure its brackets are all tight as that can also cause vibration.

I think a one or two inch lift would work ok under the leaf springs. Since a lot of these trucks are 20+ years and have very long leaf springs with only 3 in the stack it would not surprise me if gravity has caused them to sag slightly. So a one inch lift might actually get the ride height...

When you did your rebuild did you also need new o-rings? I saw another member (Reworked LMTV) mentioned when he did his rebuild he had to source new o-rings. I need to rebuild my air shocks and wanted to make sure I have all the parts ready to go.

Do remember what brand you used for the sound / heat mat or where you purchased it at?

There is a video of their trucks in action on their facebook page and more pics and info: https://www.facebook.com/acelatruckcompany/

Here is the grill that is on my truck. I believe it's made out of aluminum. Nice clean look!

Here is a link to a nice PDF from Goodyear with tire sizes listed. https://www.goodyear.com/cfmx/web/gov/pdf/military_tire_brochure.pdf The tires on the white truck would almost have to be the 16.00R20 AT-3A M (22 ply) 155-022-003 51.6" x 17.4". Not a common tire to see. It lists the 14.00R20...

How much more power does the 5 ton multi-fuel engine have than the stock engine?
