Working on the M1078 LMTV

[combat32]

You were right next door, cant believe you didn't stop by

Good luck on the truck, it looks like a good one, hopefully it will be a runner.

Pm me your parts wanted list, I might be able to pick up a few things thru my local channels.

Shoot I forgot all about it. I could have brought your generator

PM inbound.

I got them through Govt Liquidation. They had about 30 pallets go last week.

Now I wish Hooks was closer to me. When I was in Texas it seemed like everything good was going through in Barstow. Now that I am in Arizona, seems like Hooks has everything I would like to buy

I owe everyone an update. I printed out the TM section on "TPSS does not illuminate". The TPSS is the keypad that controls the transmission. The troubleshooting starts with voltage measurements at the PDP, moving on to the VIM. All good so far. Then you perform continuity checks between various pins on the VIM. All good until the last check, which indicates either the TPSS or interconnecting cable is bad. To check the TPSS, the instrument panel has to hinge over. That is as far as I got today. Pictured is the VIM under the PDP.

NDT - You are going to become very proficient at troubleshooting the M-1078s. Great opportunity to fully understand how the electrical system works.Thanks for helping out Mkcoen.

Well I registered the LMTV today. Does that count on working on it? Monday I'll probably get around to renting a forklift to try and unload the tires. I've been fighting a nasty cold since Wed and just haven't felt like messing with things.

I haven't even got my paperwork yet.

I haven't registered mine yet. Do you register as a FMV?

That's what I did. Much cheaper and no need for inspection or getting it weighed to be charged extra road fees. Plus the only thing I'll be doing is shows and parades plus driving just to feel good.

What was the no start/no trans display issue?

What was the no start/no trans display issue?

Still not resolved. NDT had to take care of some of his stuff for a change versus spending all his time on mine.

Here in Missouri I had to register my 1078 as a commercial truck. They don't have a MV designation and I want to do more than the parade and show thing.

We can do a little more than that but there are limitations. I can't "legally" go to Home Depot and get a load of lumber but I can still drive it around wherever I want even if it's a 1 person "exhibition" or I may need to exercise the batteries and suspension. Maintenance is allowable and just about anything can be considered maintenance.

I got another set back this week as apparently picked up Influenza B somewhere (wife has a co-worker with it so I'm assuming it was his gift). And due to the MS meds I can't have any live vaccines so unable to head it off that way. I am really sick of being sick.

Cargo covers are for more than show if you meed to go to Home Depot for more lumber than your normal daily driver will hold!

Here in CT anything over 20 years can be antique reg and there are no restrictions on use. Every old honda sports antique reg around here.

Mkcoen,
Very sorry to hear about your health. Take care of yourself and I hope you get better soon.

Eureka! Ya'll think this might be the issue? Trans brain (reman 2002) is a goner.

 

[DanM7890]

I'd say it's done!

 

[Suprman]

I think the ecu is cheaper than the keypad. Water prob dripped down from the upper clearance lights and made its way in there. Rare for one to go bad though. I have a spare on hand.

 

[mkcoen]

Well everyone cross their fingers that it was a one off zot and doesn't do the same thing to the new one.
