Good Idea on the bed. The shower if drains thru the floor us a 3" toilet flange and a pipe that can seat into it when down. Then hinge the base or just remove it when not needed and put it away.

Well tomorrow morning I get mine. Not sure I would enjoy waiting for we will get to it one day don't worry???

I would have to look it up in a manual to be sure been a while but done by bending the tap over the needle valve. First take the top off the carb this takes 2 people. Lock the float hinge down so the float can work. Disconnect the Coil power plugs out and bump the engine over and watch the level...

Sound like your flooding it which will kill a good set of plugs on the first try. Pull the plugs and burn out the cylinders with a match or let it set for a few hours with them out. You can bake the plugs clean with a heat gun and not have a carbon problem. Make sure your float is not stuck in...

On Big Round things I use a Chain Wrench better than a pipe wrench sometimes due to a large diameter.

I have to go up this hill to go home the road is 35-50 mph max. The nice part is this truck has been drove in Florida the original owner only sold it because he needed the tractor model to haul stuff with. He picked this one out for hi personal truck and sell military things also. I still will...

48 Hours and counting till I can look my Truck over. Going to test it pulling our 4 mile steep grade getting home and take a couple pictures on the way. Be my first trip in one. The Army still had old school stuff when I was in like button together shelter haves, metal canteens with black caps...

I am In and just Joined!

This will be my start of the Home Coming of my M1078 getting here Monday Morning! I will take a picture unloading to start it off and a couple on the way home driving it. Might have to go into town to tank it up with fuel so I can play more at home. Man this is a first for me to get a military...

Heck I only get 10 MPG in my 79 Chevy 4x4 with a Bored out 454 so It won't bug me much the MPG look what you are driving better than a Prius! Anyway just talked to the Transport they are in Kansas and my M1078 will be here Monday Morning Now I am so pumped up it is going to happen!

Lot of good ideas in that post. You must live in a bad area our 3 - 185 lb+ Newfoundland's tend to raise heck if someone is here. Having your nearest home 1/2 mile away pretty much makes you stand out where you don't belong. No joggers or bikes go by just looking. Taking the Neufs for a walk in...

Here is a good read on Clutch Fans, HP used and proper Air pressure and Clutch Friction Surface break in. Clutch Fan Info

My fan in my Freightliner even on wildfires slow going on hills etc would only come on once in a while on a Cat 3406C loaded to 48,000 lbs GVW. You knew when it came on too it was loud. Seem like if it uses 57 HP which is a lot and hardly comes on less HP and more fan use might be better? I am...

All this talk about fans 700.00 parts ect to solve the problem a fan is pretty much a fan not all fans use rubber and not all fans are military specs to use. Part I don't understand why not a After Market Fan. I do know if my fan is defective I am not spending 700.00 for a military approved fan...

One thing that upsets me the most is paying for work I can do and having it done wrong! In 50 years of driving I paid to have a clutch put in my Dodge and it was a bad clutch they had to do it again and yet I had to change the Clutch Slave and Master Cylinder later? I Had the brakes done because...

Well my M1078 won't be put up for the winter for sure. I did not buy it to be a Garage Queen it is going out in the snow even if I need chains. All my trucks are 4x4 and they never have chains so I don't see why this will on plowed roads or snow up to a foot at a time? I will make sure I have a...

Wow quite the set up to put out a pick up. Almost like a Carnival set up for rides and booths. Sure is a good way to make use of a generator.

Thanks, I will be checking mine soon it is on the way to me now!!

For 8 years my water tender sat for 8 months, 6 months of winter parked. I gave it a bath at the end of fire season, greased and a oil change & lube job and checked the anti-freeze, air cleaner oil level ect. Made sure I parked it full of fuel with anti gel. I do not use a Battery Tender ever...
