What have I done wrong? The brackets are bolted securely and there's not hardly any wiggle room when loose. The four bolt holes that connect the two brackets are not even close. It was going so smooth up to this point.

Success! After rereading the install write up, I realized the trans cooler bracket spacer was the issue! Nearly ready for a compressor.

It's great when problems solve themselves real easy, isn't it!?

Compressor is in! Discerning eyes will catch the one lower bolt isn't tight. That boss on the bracket is located poorly. I haven't yet decided how to punish it into submission.

I've been looking for the elusive LMHC aka crane for my LMTV and finally found several parts but still incomplete units. Anyone hoarding any parts? I will likely have a few extra parts.

Also looking for info on a winter front. Already my truck takes for ever to reach operating temp and it's not cold yet...

I posted a pic of one a while back but I have no idea how it goes on.

Worked her hard last week pulling a 15k load up a 6 mile 8% grade. She did fine. Slow but plenty of power to get there... when I got home, I noticed the ujoint and yoke on the front side of the transfer case was wet. Trans fluid, dripping slowly! This should be no fun. Hopefully find time to take a closer look today... thoughts?

Hopefully an easy seal to replace.

Call allison dealer give them the trans and tcase serial number they should be able to tell you exactly what parts you need.

My shift keypad has a small tear on the neutral button and doesn't like to select gears when it's cold. Any thoughts as RP to taking it apart to clean the contacts or a replacement? It is wtec 2.

I have taken them apart its not hard. Keypad is attached to the computer they come out together then you can remove a few screws and separate the two. Keypad has small torx screws comes apart pretty easy. I had one with a really hazy display. The clear plastic piece is glued in but came out pretty easy. I used plastic polish with my jewelry buffer and it came out looking brand new. Glued it back in. There are places that rebuild the older keypads so parts must be available. Replacement wtec2 stuff is not cheap though.

Spent some quality time in the shop fabricating parts for my lmhc. Just need the connectors for the winch and I can complete it. These are proving hard to find. Have a cheapo temp winch mounted for now. I have a mast and boom extra to build another or trade for things I may want.

At least you have something to start with. I can't find ANYTHING.

If the 3 pin control plug is the same as the warn mrap winches I have the plug for that. If you cant find a mate to the other its not hard to find a pair the same size and just replace it.

That's nice looking work. You're pretty handy in the shop.

Did you pick that up on your own, or did you used to do that kind of work once?

You are too kind. I have been breaking and building things as a hobby for 30 years.

Not sure if they are the same. The pic of mine is all I have. I've looked for a high amp pair for the other and no luck so far...

 

[Suprman]

What kind of winch is it?
