    batteries in lmtv?

    I just want to confirm that the 24F has the terminals on the correct side versus the group 24. Does anyone know for certain? I plan to get the Uber to take me to Walmart directly from the Airport before getting to the truck. Thanks again

    batteries in lmtv?

    Will the group 24s or group 31 be more straight forward install. If I go will group 24s is it 4 of them also? I am tempted to go with group 24s from Walmart because I can return the cores to any location. (and the Walmart warranty) The interstate batteries locations all seem to be independently...

    batteries in lmtv?

    I don't need a premenant install. I would be fine with the top of the box removed and straps holding the batteries down. If I am willing to do this can I install groups 31 pretty easily? Thanks

    batteries in lmtv?

    I am in a different situation. I am going to fly in a retrieve a truck with a 1000 mile trip ahead of me. The truck will jump start but I want to replace the batteries with group 31s for the long trip. Is this a straight forward to replace 4 original military batteries with 4 group 31s? Thanks

    FMTV Battery hook up diagram

    The drawing on the first page is somewhat helpful but it doesn't show enough detail especially when you don't have existing batteries. I am trying to install two group 31 batteries. (Removing 2 batteries) I am getting confused because the pictures shows the 12 volts wired in series...

    FMTV Battery hook up diagram

    I am new to 24 volt systems. I am trying to wire everything up correctly. Does it matter which of the 24 volt leads goes to the positive lead on the first battery and which one goes to the negative lead of the other battery? Does the ground wire go to the starter? Thanks,

    FMTV Battery hook up diagram

    I went to the truck today and I am starting to understand what you are saying. The problem is I don't know which leads are positive and which leads are negative. The only wires that are color coded seem to dead end at the NATO plug. I am trying to lift the cab (hand pump) to trace things out...

    FMTV Battery hook up diagram

    Are the cables label? My cables aren't connected to anything and I am trying to sort things out. Are there connection points that I can trace back to ensure that the cables aren't crossed? Does this drawing represent the way to connect two group 31 batteries or are the connections different? I...

    LMTV arrived

    The sheriff's office seems to be military vehicle hoarders. Some of us would do the same thing if you could have access to all these for free. I am under the impression that they get anything they want for free then they sell them off years later and make money for the department. The truck has...

    Missing transmission fill Tube circled in red. The Tube above is there but no dipstick exists inside. I have seen some with a small black dipstick tube that isn't there either. I believe it is the transmission oil check tube. Thanks
