Wonder if that truck was a test bed truck. hence why so many variations of parts included.

people report that issue a lot. Both my breaks (go figure) is not that but the actual part your grab. On two different handles, same issue actually. One leg of it broke off .. eventually followed by the other side. Inside is still all intact and fine. Doors open easy. Had adjusted them...

sorry no one replied. bumping this up for you.

does this help with one of your questions?

ahhh... two good threads and a good post https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/essential-tools-to-have-for-an-fmtv-add-your-02.152218/ https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/dont-leave-home-without-it.196133/ https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/power-distribution-panel-repair.195947/post-2287638

another thread that might be helpful is the tools to carry thread if you do end up driving one home. WIll come back with link on that one.. think I have it in my book marks

PS- this question gets asked once or twice a year.... and answered once / twice a year.. Suggest you consider search thru the old threads... your going to find some answers.. and come up with new questions in your head you didn't even think to ask yet... then pop in here ask those...

as other's hinted at.... not worth getting OEM alternator. Get a 24v alt. 140+amps (200 + if your going to charge camper batts too) and 24v-12v convertor to run the 12v side. You will need to fabricate a alternator bracket. see recent post on how folk have done that by carving out their...

ok.. so it is an MD3070. that is the original trans to the 3116... it mayyyy have got internal wire harness updated..... may not. See https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/md3070-vs-3700sp-allison-7speed-tranny-in-these-trucks.154061/ not real familiar with the M1078 A1R or A1Rp2 to know if...

if it can complete the Dakar..... then its not stupid for sure. Think this did the Dakar two or three times. If recall right they did this cause it was easiest way to do a twin engine setup.

@Schmirgel think it is only 5 post though. (same for posting pics or links) You may be there now though

duhh.. sorry didn't use my brain. should have just searched for an image. Found one

nope.... the schematics are inside software now... and software for that not released by govt.. Closet you will get is what his Guard mechanic can get for you thru their software or the older version for A1 (maybe better said A0.5) that can be found in TM section of S.Soliders. it is a...

what about M1079. curious SStevens approach to front/back weight ratio for those

for beast this large... think you need to front heavy compared to rear....... so not 50/50 front to rear... maybe 60/40, or 55/45 that way when climbing the weight shifts from those to 50/50 due to gravity rear loading. Would think starting at 50/50 and then on up climbs moving it to 40/60...

btw above was a bit aimed at @hike , @Keith Knight , @olly hondro

Was watching video recent of an LMTV off roading lifting a tire..... boy did that bring back memories... annnnyway.... if for some odd reason you reallllllly want to keep a wheel on the ground more cause you are going to reallllllly wheel your LMTV...... here is old school leaf spring design to...

If I remember it right.. and I honestly don't remember where I saw a report that Eco on a truck already with the 3.07 gears ... may not mix well on paper (ratio wise). and that may be true.... wonder though if that combo would let you go DOWN a tire size to one that is commercially, easily...

huh??? confused.... what is wrong with asphalt? Yes on the jackstands not on asphalt; unless you have a wider base to sit below the stand to prevent sink. I had friend weld used brake disk rotors to bottom of my stands cause I usually am in dirt..... asphalt would be heaven for me

two 12v better IMHO, if your not throwing a converter in there. If wanting to get home as is, two 12v smart chargers, may be your best bet sense one batt gets more 12v draw than the other, having the two smart ones to get you home then seems would with out needing converter. @Ronmar ...
