    rear air brake leaks on new M1078

    That is the valve thanks, so it basically changing brake bias based on load, doesn't sound like the end of the world to bypass this feature or not? Knowing BAE its probably a 2500 dollar part lol

    rear air brake leaks on new M1078

    update on rear brakes issue and help needed My mobile mechanic called and said he inspected the M1078 for the inversion valve purging excessive air as some may recall He said he narrowed the issue down to a module with an air house that is above the diff but in front of it that has a spring...

    Driver's Side Door Handle problem

    I just fixed this issue on my M1083 There is a small plastic retainer clip on the end of the rod that attaches to the latch, it broke 2 of the 3 barb mounts off and would pop out if you grabbed the door handle hard, so I zip tied the rod to the inner door handle rod which prevents it from...

    Torque rating

    Well all be! I would think the MTV would be north of 800 lb ft for the tow rating it has but who knows, I ll get my engine ID and call Empire CAT and see if they can run the number on a side note, who has reflashed their LMTV to MTV specs and what did the dealer charge you for the flash

    Torque rating

    So the TM doesnt state it and no one here knows? When did S&S start using upgraded Cat motors as well? I found an old article on google for a military magazine talking about how Cat was going to use a new enigne to meet EPA emission in 2004 and it stated how the power had increased but...

    And I looked at that website before I posted that. Did you even read it because it doesnt list that engine let alone thr data I was asking for or the difference in thr mtv output. ive also read that the first batch were 225 hp on a lmtv and 290 on a mtv and later models were 275 and 330.

    Florida auction

    I honestly dont think the DoD cares about the off road only portion, I think it has far more to do with AM General throwing a pity party over the idea of cheap surplus HMMWVs then someone at Uncle Sam caring. Especially if you consider that AM G tanked their Humvee C project that was stated for...

    just picked up a m1078

    My M1083 has the passenger mount and the spring looking base for it, and all the cabling, the loud speaker on the dash, some weird looking battery packs left around and a radio base with sockets.
