How long have oil sample test results been provided? On what other trucks are they provided? I'd bet GovPlanet takes oil and transmission samples on the FMTV series because they can so easily. Just start the engine and open the engine and transmission test ports to flow a sample. Most likely...

Great project! You have an enjoyable presentation style too! Bob WB4ETT

My truck had a stuck fan clutch when first driven (not your problem), but.... The clutch worked loose after about 100 miles but then the 200 (210?) deg switch would not turn the fan on. Another few hundred miles and the temp sensor and control valve started working. Now at about 900 miles...

You picked two of the best sources of advice on your situation. Condolences on the bad transmission. That is indeed BAD news and a terrible way to be introduced to the world of Unimogs.

https://www.expedition-imports.com/, then search on 'manual'. They list the Operators Manual, Service Manual, and several others in English. Not cheap, but no full manuals are. An online search will find other sources. Congrats on the 404. Great little trucks! Bob

Congrats! From recent similar experience the following are suggested: - IR thermometer to check for hot bearings anywhere, or dragging brakes. - Gladhand type air hose to pump up tires if air is lost. - tire gauge. - Ask seller to show you how to turn on the lights (and brake lights and...

Too bad the photos have disappeared from this thread.

The turbo on my M-1078 LMTV whistles quite noticeably even to my ears. Or there is a leak! I like the whistle if it is normal. Bob

SS member Auctionaddict has a kit of FMTV maintenance parts in the classifieds: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?135884-M1078-fmtv-lmtv-ctis-oil-trans-filter-kit-1079-stewart-and-stevenson It's a great source for parts for us FMTV newbies. A possible heads up on that CAT IR-0751...

Nice! That is an impressive parade machine!

Austrian Steyr, the "other" Australia.:-)

This is an outstanding thread showing what can be accomplished if 'easy' is ignored and 'tough' is just tackled and done. More power to you!

If that cover has to keep water out then a gasket makes sense doesn't it?

Yes, you are right. I am thinking too hard LOL

Some of the issues with my LMTV keep changing. Maybe this info will be useful to others as they learn their FMTV. The speedometer that began working last trip is not working right again (reads a little over half what it should). The fix/fail is abrupt and seems to change when the...

Nice truck! I like the van. Would you have any pictures from inside? Bob

There is a market, and it's growing, for Steyr cab parts for the LMTV's. Great opportunity for the right person with contacts!

Here's the pinout: http://www.prc68.com/I/U229PO.shtml Plus everything else there is to know about most every thing military 'radio' related thanks to Brooke Clarke. Bob WB4ETT ham since 1965

Need one steel wheel with CTIS stuff for an LMTV.

As I read more about the FMTV, and specifically the LMTV, the date 1996 keeps coming up as the first military contract, a contract with Stewart & Stevenson. That means some of our trucks, like my 1994, and a 1993 spotted here on SS, must have been built before S&S had a contract. Surely our...
