    Disconnected hose

    Yes, they are the sample points and they are discussed in another thread. Strange that it is disconnected. Give me an hour and I will go see where it goes to on my truck. Sent from my SM-G988U1 using Tapatalk

    alternator issue

    I would not think you damaged the alternator just by trying to jump especially if the the cut off switch was off. I am not aware of any fuse or circuit breaker from the alternator to the battery. If there is one, it would be big like 150 amps or more. If the alternator is not putting out power...

    Looks like you stopped in Utah. I live about 50 miles South of Boyce Equipment.

    MTVR Dimensions

    Here are the measurements from my truck - your mileage may vary. 1. 33 inches. 2. My truck was not on flat ground so it is about 65 inches but might be 67. These measurements are in another post too. 3. 80 inches. You should thank me for this because it was snowing and cold as hades...

    Lmtv bumper on mtvr

    Here are photos showing a LMTV measurements. I am not sure it could be easily done because the LMTV bumper is triangle shaped. Overall width: Distance between mount points: Height of bumper including the triangle part:

    Who bought hood number USMC-592475?

    I think they bought USMC-592475 as a parts truck because it does not run. I could use a part off of it. PLEASE let me know if you have the truck!

    Planning on buying a MTVR

    Welcome HopperChopper77, Well, I am happy with mine - mostly. I did not pay anything near what it is worth so I guess I got a good deal. BUT I have fixed a lot of things. It is still not perfect but I am having fun doing it. One disadvantage is the MPG, not so great. Also parts are hard to...

    MTVR Transmission Dipstick

    If the dipstick was missing then water may have gotten into the tranny. I think that is what happened to mine. My 7 Ton has the dipstick but it was missing the O ring and I think water got into the tranny. I will tell you right now that that dipstick is 5 or 6 feet long so shipping is going to...

    What are these meant for?

    Camoguy, Do you want to sell one of the jack stands?

    Lmtv bumper on mtvr

    This is not helpful but I was going to put a 5 Ton front bumper on my 7 Ton so I could have Steel instead of Aluminum but the sale was cancelled after they found out that they were out of 5 Ton bumpers. Dang. A guy down the street has a 1078 and I could ask him about the dimensions if you like...

    Michelin VS Goodyear 16.00r20 Which is better? Costs less? Lasts? any discussion?

    The side gashes (slits) are bad. I have had a couple tires fail from them. I would recommend replacing the tires as soon as you can. Micha had one fail too. You can drive on a tire with side gashes for a few miles at low speed but on the freeway it only takes about 50 miles before a major...

    Changing axle hub oil

    My hubs did not make any noise and were working fine. I just wanted to be proactive.

    Buying a MK23...Am I making the right decision?

    I got my insurance through Progressive Commercial also. It costs me about $400 per year but I increased the liability so it is more expensive.

    What have you done to your MTVR today?

    Well, this is not actually about the truck itself but I did get a sixcon for fuel. It holds 900 gallons and bolts right to the 7 Ton bed with the ISO locks. So including the regular tank I could carry about 1,000 gallons of diesel. If I get about 6 miles per gallon, then I could drive about...

    Bed sides

    Got the ladder today and installed it. I may have figured out why my truck did not come with a ladder. The mounting slots for the ladder were not the correct size from the factory and so the ladder did not fit right. I cut the slots a little bit bigger and now the ladder fits. Sent from my...

    I hope it is just a fuse but I don't know which one.
