    FMTV Highway Speed

    I know this is an old thread, but I wanted to ask if this idea has moved forward? It seems like an excellent idea to solve some problems.

    3126 w/ABS vs 3116

    I must say I'm leaning toward a C-7 engine A1R truck after discussions with some who own them. I understand the potential failure points of 'intermediate' electronic injector pump tech. I think I can manage the failure points on the C-7 adequately with on-board spares to make all the latest...

    3126 w/ABS vs 3116

    I’m moving forward in a search for a 3126 1079A1. Possibly an A1 1083 if I can find one. You boys have been very helpful in this process for me. Thanks to all.

    LMTV Stock Axles and Lockers

    Okay, wouldn’t want that. What is the problem on snow and ice with a Detroit locker (any non-selectable) on the front axle? S

    LMTV Stock Axles and Lockers

    I chatted with Bryce above in the thread on Facebook messenger earlier and he says he’s installed Detroit lockers on LMTV front diffs on 10 different trucks. He says the trucks drive on the road and off-road and they’ve had no problems and good results. That’s pretty encouraging.

    LMTV Stock Axles and Lockers

    🤔… I was thinking this was the case. I guess the rear locker should help. With the weight and ground clearance just pulling one of the front wheels in a loss of traction situation must be enough to get through. An air or E Locker would obviously be desirable on the front diff. Thanks for the...

    LMTV Stock Axles and Lockers

    All, In my research leading up to a purchase of an LMTV I have been reviewing the axles as set up OEM and I can’t find if they are open axles or limited slip. In looking at so many adding Detroit Lockers to the rears but doing nothing to the fronts I’m guessing these trucks have open...

    3126 w/ABS vs 3116

    OK, that helps, so just a CAT/Allison dealer can tap in? Any aftermarket rigs to read codes?

    3126 w/ABS vs 3116

    Thanks, have you found OBDII port useful in troubleshooting the ABS light? Also if you could give me a pointer to the trucks for sale you saw I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

    3126 LMTV w/ABS VS 3116 w/o ABS

    All, I’ve been lurking here for almost 10 years now. I’m finally approaching actually buying an LMTV to build out as an Overland rig. My objective is to also pick up one of those single axle 17 foot LMTV trailers that will go with me most of the time. I live on the Texas coast and will be...

    Newbie Considering LTMV: Must I Buy A2?

    I agree on that point, I read the drive line of the A-0's had some issues but were brought back in for a refit. Was that done with all A-0's? THX Mark
