    FMTV High Speed Gears

    It was an expedition portal post. I'll see if I can find it and post the info. It wasn't a resale, but new 3.07s ordered via a driveline company... If memory serves correctly Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

    2000 mile road trip in an FMTV

    Pm me if you're interested. I took mine off my whole m1088a1 (instead of cutting it off) and am going to sell it. It was a major pita to remove, but is complete. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

    M1088A1 CTIS pressure adjustment

    Digging this up. Did you find any effect on replacing the CTIS ecu? I'm in the same boat with an m1088a1. With the higher gears I like to be able to cruise with the right pressure on the highway, but would love to air down to 45-55 in the city. Do other CTIS units work with the fmtv? Ideally a...

    FMTV High Speed Gears

    Bryce wasliek from Florida (look him up on Facebook) has around 40 sets last I checked. Somewhere on the forum it's mentioned you can buy direct as well. I don't think exact price was named, but the ballpark was $2,500/chunk..I think. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

    FMTV Highway Speed

    I'd be too scared to try. The tires (even without a load) would be too worrisome. Combined with poor balancing techniques, steering stabilizers not build for this speed, overall design not built for speed. I've read plenty of cruising at 75, which in itself seems pushing it. I have the high...

    Dual alternator

    Both great points. I have a 12v lithium unit I need to do something with. That being said it makes more sense to add a second bank either where the gas tank is now, between the rails, or where the air dryer is. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

    2000 mile road trip in an FMTV

    I'd say it's worth checking the gear level on your hubs and center driveline before leaving for your next leg. I had a very slow leak on mine. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

    2000 mile road trip in an FMTV

    Not sure if it works for the 1083 but on the 1088 flipping the electric switch prior to starting should start the aux fans. Next time it's off wait to crank and listen for yours between the frame rails. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

    Dual alternator

    Great to hear. I'll push forward with my plan and test it out. Do you know if the alternator can charge 2 totally separate battery banks? The current 24/12v are wire in series & parallel, but from the same ground. This other bank would have separate ground and be placed within the cab or at...

    Dual alternator

    Unfortunately I just have the 100 amp alternator. That being said, I havent looked much at the dual voltage capabilities. Maybe 100 amps is big enough with a large enough battery bank. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

    Dual alternator

    I think for ac I am planning to do a box mounted system, similar to fire trucks. I'll avoid an engine mounted compressor if at all possible. This is an additional reason for another battery bank and alternator. The 200 amp alternator seems really expensive, although I guess that could serve as...

    Dual alternator

    Has anyone setup dual alternators on an lmtv or fmtv? I'm thinking of putting a 12v battery bank in the cab, and am thinking of a dedicated alternator for it. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

    Het in Oklahoma

    Does anyone have an HET in Oklahoma? I'd love to come take a look at the operation of the rear steer and suspension setup. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

    2000 mile road trip in an FMTV

    I thought all of the axles called for synthetic 80w-90. This is what I was told when doing the high speed gears. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

    air lines - refresh

    I'd love to hear more about your experience when you replace them. This is next on my list to check all connections and replace and label the lines when necessary. I have a few leaks that I havent tracked down yet. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

    LMTV M1079 M1078 ARB air locker group buy, we need 50 of you to make this happen.

    Bryce down in Florida installed them. Haven't driven it yet to see the difference. I've been out of town since they were installed. Lockers were installed on both rears along with the gears. Bryce was great, super hard working and knowledgeable. Drove from Florida to Oklahoma to install. Sent...

    FMTV/LMTV Steering Play Solved

    Can a few other fmtv owners list the amount if 'wiggle' in their steering wheel. Both sitting on flat surface at idle, as well as at 35mph and 55mph? Trying to determine if the wiggle I have is an issue or normal. I don't ever expect it to handle or respond like a regular vehicle, just want to...

    FMTV/LMTV Steering Play Solved

    What amount of steering play is normal? I have about 3 inches of play, but I just assumed that's the normal amount for a vehicle of this size, tires, etc. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk
