Finally felt decent enough to go outside. We need to swap one of the tires that came on the truck just to drive it from Houston to San Antonio so I started prepping one of the used units I got at Premier Metals. I picked one of the wheels that had the CTIS protectors on it as I'll probably transfer them to the new tires. Unfortunately both wheels only had 3 of the 4 bolts but I don't think it'll be that big of a deal. They were obviously holding on that way and I doubt I'll ever be in an environment that it would be critical. It was amazing how easily they came off. The most time I spent was locating my RoboTool in my disorganized shop. And since they're leaning against the rear duals of the deuce it made more sense than powering up the air compressor and dragging a hose out to do it. Both protectors are in good shape and they obviously work as the CTIS hose was in much better shape (little UV damage) compared to the wheels that didn't have the protectors. I think that's enough reason to put them on the LMTV.

I like the wheel protectors. I have a pallet full of them from around 2 years ago I just need to find time to put them on.

I'll keep that in mind since I'll need 2 for the rear wheels.

You can never have enough protection.

I have attached the spec print sheet with contact info for the hubcaps. Maybe they would sell you one of the bolt/studs?

Juan, thanks for posting that. Unfortunately when I try opening it all I get is 2 pages of what looks like TV static. Not sure if it's just my computer or not. I can see it fine in your post just not get anything when I open it.

Maybe he fixed it since you posted but it opened fine for me. Not to assume anything; it is not a pic though; it must be opened with a PDF reader. Odds are you know that but we know what assume spells

It's just me then. I've got a PDF reader and it's still TV static.

I have that problem sometimes with my not so smart phone and I just use a different pdf viewer than the default app. Pm your email and I will be glad to send it to you. I am not familiar enough with the gremlins to remove the static....

LMTV772 got it handled so I can read it fine. Not sure what the problem is since I'm using my desk top computer at the moment and haven't had any PDF issues in the past. Maybe it caught the virus I've been fighting the last week.

The Independent Allison controller rebuilder said "look for problems with the transmission harness". That did not take long . . .

But shouldn't you have found that the 1st day
Seriously, thanks for everything you've been doing. I'd probably still be kicking the tires in the driveway trying to figure out why it wouldn't start after I charged the batteries. (okay maybe I'm not that stupid but still doubt I would have diagnosed half what you've done so far)
Do you really think it'll be as simple as pinning the tail back on the donkey?

For those of you looking for transmission issues here's the Allison Troubleshooting Manual. It's 406 pages in PDF format.
