Vehicle report
Technical service bulletins are instructions a manufacturer sent its dealers about a known fault. They are not recalls and the work is usually not free, but they are the clearest signal of a problem the manufacturer already knows about.
FDM-TSIB-046
This bulletin provides instructions for installing new updated front shock absorbers and upper mounting brackets. The updated shock absorber and mounting bracket lowers the top of the shock absorber improving the allowable maximum travel of the front leaf spring pack and keeps the shock absorber in its normal travel zone reducing the time the shock absorber is in hydraulic rebound
FDM_TSIB-047
This bulletin provides instructions for installing rubber hose STAUFF clamps in areas of the vehicle that have hard line STAUFF clamps installed on rubber hoses. Rubber hose STAUFF clamps have a smooth inner contact surface and filleted edges. Installing rubber hose STAUFF clamps will reduce potential hose chaffing in areas where hard line clamps were installed
FDM-SVC-030
This bulletin provides instruction for installing a hydraulic system charge pump filter.
FDM-TSIB-043
This bulletin provides information on updating hydraulic hose clamping below the cab to match current production. Engineering recommends changing out the front STAUFF clamp using the following procedure. The second STAUFF clamp can be changed out using this procedure if desired.
FDM-TSIB-041
This bulletin provides information on topics specific to transmission high temperature warnings reported in the field. The topics listed were helpful in preventing transmission high temperature warning conditions.
FDM-SVC-002
This bulletin provides instruction for replacing the water pump impeller due to corrosion. Oshkosh has received reports of non-working water pumps due to the pump impeller becoming corroded and seized, causing the pump not to spin. A new impeller made of an improved alloy was developed to eliminate corrosion issues.
FDM-TSIB-027
This bulletin provides information for vehicle owners that have a Dana series 172 or 175 rear axle without a lubricant drain plug in the bottom of the axle housing.
FDM-TSIB-026
This bulletin provides instruction for replacing the mixer pump PTO shaft, mixer pump input yoke, and mixer pump input yoke bearing U-bolts to the current production configuration. The new PTO shaft is larger with greaseable crosses and requires a new mixer pump input yoke and replacing the input yoke bearing U-bolts with bearing straps.
FDM-TSIB-025
This bulletin provides instructions for bolting the water tank mounting feet to the water tank if the bonded feet become loose.
FDM-TSIB-024
This bulletin provides instruction for checking electrical connections at various critical locations. Loose electrical connections can cause false readings and lead to electrical system errors.
FDM-TSIB-023
This bulletin provides instruction on replacing the frame ground stud nut located at the rear of the vehicle on the inside right-hand frame rail. Engineering has changed the nut from a jam nut to a lock nut after receiving reports of the jam nut being loose when inspected.
Complaint counts are reports filed with NHTSA, not failure rates. A common model collects more of them than a rare one that breaks more often.
