    Top 5 fixes to your LMTV

    Well if it keeps me from digging a hole and having to get out and rig a line and winch, I like it. I may add one to the rear at some point. If you don't mind saying, what did that little gem set you back?

    Lmtv battery box wires

    TL99 would be +12V connected where the jumper cable that connects the two batteries in series(either terminal at the ends of the jumper cable, doesn't matter). IE: at either the 0-12v battery + terminal or 12-24V battery - terminal where the jumper is attached. Ground is connected to the 0-12V...

    Lmtv battery box wires

    well you made it relatively easy. TL10 is +24v to the starter solenoid. TL39 is +24 to the polarity protection box 24v batt terminal of the 2 remaining cables. one is the main ground cable(TL48) going to the front of the starter motor via an instrument shunt(measures current) located near the...

    M1078 airline junction leak - what is it?

    the only CTIS line that has pressure with truck off is the feed line from the wet tank protection valve, it will only have pressure if the tank is above 85PSI and that line crosses over and runs up the passenger side... there are 3 lines on the drivers side that would have pressure without your...

    M1078 airline junction leak - what is it?

    The lines are different sizes, but the threaded port where the fittings attach are the same size. I disconnected the lines, swapped the fittings and then re-attached the lines to their original fittings in their new locations. i think those are 1/2"NPT, but would have to measure. Whenin doubt...

    M1078 airline junction leak - what is it?

    The wet tank is supposed to act as a final filter/dryer stage in the air system before the air feeds into the service brake tanks. Every A0 I have come across has had an issue with the wet tank plumbing, with the wet tank Td off of the dryer output line and fed on to the service tanks. Plumbed...

    M1078 airline junction leak - what is it?

    the test is to fully charge the system(dryer purges) then shutdown. drain all the air out of the wet tank and close the drain valve. Look for pressure drop on the pri/sec-rear/front air gauges in the dash. if you note air loss on the gauge, open the wet tank drain and if it has built up air...

    M1078 airline junction leak - what is it?

    well if it is draining all your air while parked you have some other issues as well. That is the point where air from the front red/emer gladhand via a check valve, charges the wet tank and the rest of the system. it is located in the air sample line that the governor uses to monitor wet tank...

    You can Easily get 350HP out of your 3116. Start with the 290HP governor and turbo modifications general mentioned. Then turn the high speed screw up to allow 2800RPM and delete the air compressor, alternator, power steering and cooling fan... I believe the marine engine is basically the...

    That silver one is the gauge sender. The switch Is in the background of your pic(black plastic body against the block, harness toward the rear). Also seen lower right of Matthews pic, against the block, painted yellow. that parts picture you added of the 3 wire oil pressure sensor, looks like...

    M1088A1 Starting Issue

    I believe matthew is correct, 15PSi low oil switch(S27) is on a little manifold on the drivers side of the block a little above the oil pan just forward of the starter... That provides the ground path to energize K11 and the dash low oil idiot light. When it hits 15PSi it opens the circuit to...

    Hurricane Helena LMTV Flooded

    With that amount of water out of the main drain, and it never being run in that condition, you will probably be fine as it want straight to the sump and pushed oil up. I doubt it ever came in any significant contact with the friction material. The main housing fills before oil gets high enough...

    Hurricane Helena LMTV Flooded

    If it filled with significant water, the transmission dipstick should indicate this(will show it full of fluid well above the dipstick marks. Most anything on the truck can tolerate some water in it for a bit EXCEPT THE TRANSMISSION. The friction material on the clutch discs is bonded to with...
