    What have you done to your FMTV or LMTV today

    What a difference, Godspeed131! What headlights and led bulbs did you use? imitation is the sincerest form of flattery ;)

    What have you done to your FMTV or LMTV today

    Rather than buying a turret cover and paying crazy shipping, I cut one out of a 4’ square of 1/8” steel, welded on two bars to keep it from flexing, and through a little color on it. I used a 1/4” rubber gasket and bolted it down. Pretty happy for a project under $200. The truck came from 1st...

    LMTV foot brake / treadle valve rebuild kit

    That's awesome! I may just have to give it a try as well.

    LMTV foot brake / treadle valve rebuild kit

    Did you ever rebuild the brake pedal valve with your kit? I found the kit for 19 euros and wonder how it worked out seeing as everyone in the states want about $200.

    Michelin XZL vs Michelin XML vs Michelin XL vs Goodyear AT-3A vs Goodyear AT-2A any others that are 14.00 or larger that are any good?

    Superthermal, I cant speak to the continental or pirelli tires...but I've had quite a bit a time with several others. First, I will say I love the look of the Goodyear MVT and don't have any complaints with them so that is what I run on my current truck. They look a lot like the XZL, which...

    Things I am really glad I did to LMTV

    I love the idea of removing a leaf from the rear spring pack olly hondro! I hate the sewer sniffer rake and personally don't have much in the bed that would ever weigh the back down enough. Like you, I've reduced to two batteries in every one of my trucks and never had an issue, even at 54 below...

    GOVPLANET/USMC latest EUC times?

    What did you do to your M939 today?

    Replaced the fuel shutoff solenoid on my 934. Does anyone know what the arm that is bolted onto the fuel pump and is manipulated by the solenoid is called? I can only describe it as a rocker lever and mine has a crack. Searching for a replacement.

    EUC Approved

    I purchased and paid for the truck on June 20, 2019. EUCs and titling documents both fall under the purview of the DLA, which definitely is not closed. After calling gov planet every week for several months following the purchase, and getting nowhere, I reached out directly to a contact in the...

    What did you do to your M939 today?

    its a v-6. I reversed the outside brackets when I cut them and added the 6” plate. With the lips turned in the width is perfect. The plates put it at a perfect height not to interfere with function of the pintel hitch. Two of the three holes on each side of the Reese hitch even lined up with...

    What did you do to your M939 today?

    Installed a Reese receiver for the big truck. Sometimes you just don’t need the pintle hitch and the reese with a 6” drop has worked for me on the last couple trucks. No issues towing a 20’ boat. I’ve also started stripping the accessories along the frame to remove the expansible van body. It’s...
