Excellent info and thank you! I was looking for this type of breakdown and the toll newer battery tech can have on 90's charging technology. This will give me room on the battery tray to house batteries that will be charged via solar (and grid power if needed at times). This battery bank will...

Ronmar, you suggest two 12v group 31 batteries, not four group 31 batteries if replacing the stock batteries in my A0? Thanks! Sully Disregard - I looked up the NAPA 7256 part number and see the batteries are 120 Ah 12V. So four (4) group 31 batteries at ~125 Ah should be fine...

Wow Colt... just went through your troubleshooting and video - great video BTW. Thank you! I have gotten the 2nd gear indication after putting it into Drive (expecting "7") and having to shut the truck down in the middle of the street to clear it. I was not aware of the code process until now...

I'm in for a set for my M1078 A0 (if able). Thanks! *** Looks like this may have closed out on 6/30 - if I didn't make the cut, I'd like to be on the reserve list for a full set :) ***

I haven't had much time to drive or work on it the last couple months (work is taking priority). And, no I haven't drained it yet, but bought the oil and filter to change it this weekend. Wow - I haven't considered it may have something other than engine oil in it. That's scary! Thanks for...

For completeness and follow up... the leak is the front main seal. ...now to fix it and replace other items while I have it apart. Harmonic balancer or I think Cat calls it an engine dampener, is on the list. Sully

I believe the cable is an CX-13468/VRC and/or A3206017 (there is an -x appended to the end that denotes length in feet) i.e., A3206017-5 I built a temp connector/cable to get my VIC-3 MCS powered on the bench. I am still receiving parts and haven't installed in my M1078 yet. Below is from my...

PMing you my number - I'm in the FL Panhandle. Good luck and welcome to Florida!

I'm in the Destin area and will look into what is available. We are land locked down here by Eglin AFB. Eglin's reservation is available for outdoor activities (hunting, fishing, camping...) and is pro outdoors. A reservation pass is required because of the UXO (unexploded ordinance) hazards...

I appreciate the conformation this is correct. I wasn't positive of the breakout of the tanks responsibilities - this helps me understand the air sys better. I can't find the source of the leak. I am considering cleaning everything up, drying the surfaces out and mounting cameras under the...

What is the default (resting, driving) configuration of the knobs and lower Cab 'push and turn? I had the lower right Cab push and turn knob, pushed in and locked to the right. Could this cause the system to pressurize and leak? I haven't rebuild the cab hydraulic pump yet. It does leak when...

I'd second the "North Florida somewhere".

Good question! The back of the air compressor is dry. I saw a video on the compressor being replaced, so I was familiar with it when I saw it while laying under the frontend. The leak favors the passenger side; there is more 'spray' or residual on the front of the gas tank and less behind the...

Thank you! All I have done to date is: - Repair the windshield wipers (one was missing) - A lot of touch up paint (mainly on the front) - Buffed the windshield with Cerium Oxide (deep gouges from the missing wiper) - Repaired the left (driver's) door - it wouldn't latch. Fix was a new...

I'm mobile, so sorry for the abbreviated reply. No winch. Working on her right now.. Engine oil was low, just topped off with Mobil Delvac 15w-40. Tranny low, don't have the fluid to top off. Thanks for the fluid info. Want to do full flush of everything (that should require it) and fill...

Hello all! I'm pretty stoked to get my M1078 on the road and have done a ton of reading here on the forum - great bunch of folks! I have been going through the TMs and also been through the LMTV quick parts reference sheet. In the reference sheet it states: Steering: 5 quarts hydro fluid or...

Very cool!
