What year is your truck?

The SD Brazo's came with the 6.7 Cummins and Allison trans so that option would definitely work. Is the 8.3 a completely different engine or is it dimensionally close to the 6.7?

I have a build thread going over at Expedition Portal... with almost the same name as this thread. http://forum.expeditionportal.com/threads/175747-Another-LMTV-Build

Here's what I've got going. Started with a stripped Hi-Lo, re-skinned it and am currently redoing the inside.

The Hi-Lo brand campers use a single hydraulic ram to pull 4 cables. Works good and not much to go wrong. It uses gravity to retract so if something does get in the way it's really easy to just hit the up button to go back up.

Here you go. m1078_TM 9-2320-365-20-5 page 523

I was just reading through the Membership Contract and it says "There will be a price cap of $300 on RV calls" at the end of the RV section. I'm not saying the service is a bad deal overall but I thought it was worth mentioning.

I just drained it from the bottom of the radiator. Easy that way because it drains straight down vs the block plug which would shoot the coolant sideways.

I made something like this out of a small c clamp... https://www.matcotools.com/catalog/product/ppt13/roll-pin-removal-tool/

And the block heater costs about the same as that pan heater.

Here's Minnesota. I'm thinking "permanently installed" means not noticeably able to be removed :D TLDR... same as Ohio

My suggestion would be to skip the auctions and buy one from a private seller. Find one that has been serviced and had some miles put on it. Yes it will cost more up front but worth it in the end.

It's the best upgrade I've made and you won't notice a difference on the bottom end. Still plenty of torque. I was hesitant to do the swap myself but once I got into it it really wasn't that bad. The hardest part was dealing with the crusty U joints.

I do. I had intended to sell them until I found out about the heat issue but if you want the file I'll give it to you. DM me what file type you want.

Slightly on topic.... I made a new warning light panel out of laser etched plastic but the lamps get so hot it warps it. It still functions great and I'm beyond the point of worrying about it melting or catching fire but it sure would be nice to swap to LEDs.

Not sure who has gears but here's a thread about the speedo. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?173032-A0-High-Speed-Gears-Speedometer-Dip-Switch-Adjustment

That's very helpful. So based on the chart the stock LMTV speedo is set at 0010011010 which is 34754-35180 pulses per minute. In my truck 50mph on the speedo is about 63mph +/- on the GPS which is a 26% gain. Does that mean we should program in a 26% lower pulses per minute which is roughly...

The TM's only show the stock position of the switches.

You can tilt the cab with the truck off as long as the air tanks are full.

Couple of things seem weird. I don't think your truck should be able to be switched into D before it's started. I know mine won't. And the fact it starts when in D must mean your neutral safety switch isn't working.
