For the video files, download then and rename from a .MOD file extension to .MPG and they should play fine.

It was nice to meet so many of the folks from the site here. The BBQ convoy was a lot of fun, and the food was awesome! I'm already looking forward to the next one!

You are correct about what the lines are for. The innermost line in your photo, the vent line, can be traced upwards to an open port on the frame rail on each side. When you press or release the service brakes (brake pedal) that vent line lets the service chamber side expel or suck in air as...

I plan to be there on Friday, around lunchtime if I am lucky. It depends on how early I get everything loaded and hit the road! Water Cans:

I have 4 LCI water cans, $15 each. I also have a medium tow bar with 1" feet for $300. It could use a paint job, but it does have the reinforcing collars on both legs. The pins are not the original ones except for two of the small pins. It was purchased from Jim Henry for $350.

That's a neat setup

The A1 5 tons have the 3126. The original ones have the 3116. Here's a photo of a data plate from a 290HP 3116

One of the other guys had his injectors shimmed and changed injector timing, he said it made a difference. The 3116 in the 5 ton is rated at 290 HP.

Is the outer bag pressurized with air, the shock inside, or both?

Keep in mind the early FMTV/LMTV trucks are mechanical injection, so tuning is done manually instead of with a computer. The newer (A1) trucks have electronic fuel injection and can be tuned with a flashing of the computer by a CAT technician.

For the bbq convoy, it will just be me and my truck. My g/f will have to work that Friday. I'll pretend it wasn't all that fun so she won't be as mad ;-)

Did you remove the defroster plenum, or is it missing? It's hard to tell from the photos.

Count me in for 2. I second the seafood boil. Not a big boiled shrimp fan, but less of a rib fan :-). Either way I'm sure it will be good!

That is great info. I have been thinking, maybe we need to start a list of part numbers and sources for the various things on these trucks.

I ordered a kit from Those Military Guys. The low beams are really dim. Not sure if I have a grounding issue, but definitely getting the right voltage. It is an aftermarket 7" housing with adapters made like you guys are describing. Try to get DOT approved glass lens housings. I think I...

Wehring has an M1078A1, and had a 330HP flash installed by a CAT mechanic/tech. It's in his mods thread: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?131893-Wehring-LMTV-Mods You also asked about torque specs for the M1078(A0). If you have the A0 variant, it's mechanical injection, no engine...

Count me and my GF in for the BBQ run. If she can't take off work for some reason I should still be able to make it.

Would it be worthwhile to have a nametag for your vehicle? That way if you aren't nearby, if someone walks by they will know who's it is.

Nominating my M1078

Door hardware is some of the toughest stuff to find right now. You might try calling Jim Henry at Henry's Truck & Equipment Sales in Albemarle, NC. You can google them for the contact info. He has some LMTV parts right now but not sure about door hardware. You can also try Eastern Surplus...
