TFS mechanic David cable walks through every aspect of the Stewart & Stevenson M1078 2.5 ton military truck, as acquired through the DoD Firefighter Property Program.
Thanks David-had problem with front brakes nor releasing due to the check valves were letting air threw the front glad hands causing problem-rebuilt all frontal check valves and found internal pucks were jammed open-rebuilt and all problems went away-Thanks again.
This is awesome information. Great video. Would you mind sharing the links on the video description ? The first one on the door handles I could not open.
, oh. I was seriously thinking about buying one of those Stewart Stevenson trucks like that but now after seeing your video and hearing all the things that you have had to say
Pressing the mode button does not engage 4 wheel drive, these trucks are full time 4x4 with a 70/30 power split in highway mode and 50/50 in off-road. The highway mode uses gears 2-7 with the option of using the down button to manually select 1st gear.
Standard mode is all-wheel drive. Hold the MODE button down for 3 seconds and it switches from all-wheel drive to 4-wheel drive (allison trans will use only 5 gears in 4-wheel drive mode).
Can you guys do a video on a M-923 or that style of five ton? I see you guys make alot from them still? Or one of them big Oshkosh R-11 tankers I saw you guys made a few tankers with that style truck! I am just a huge fan of the truck's you guy's make from dod surplus for the fire department 's in need!
Thanks for the exelent explanation. I would like to know what is the price of this vehicle and what about emisions, meaning cat it pass the emissions test ?
It's ok for a modern deuce and a half . But it will never be a M-35 a2 deuce. but the M-1078 is ok For a brush unit. but can't carry as much water as the M-35 a2. Thank you for all you guys do for rural communities in need.

Any information on fixing a broken gear selector??
good to know thanks. would this be okay for a daily driver??
Where do you find the check valves for the front service line?
I have thought about one of these trucks for a work vehicle.. are they dependable? long lasting? how do they compare to a deuce? Thanks
Thanks for the exelent explanation. I would like to know what is the price of this vehicle and what about emisions, meaning cat it pass the emissions test ?
These are EPA exempt for military use idk about civilian tho since it's old you might need not emissions testing
It's ok for a modern deuce and a half . But it will never be a M-35 a2 deuce. but the M-1078 is ok For a brush unit. but can't carry as much water as the M-35 a2. Thank you for all you guys do for rural communities in need.
so what you're saying is you really really like the M35 A2
Another good info source is steel soldiers. Also, another good parts source is Midwest Surplus.
