    painting over carc

    I am looking to repaint the interior of the cab of my LMTV. There are some rust spots that I would like to take care of. I was thinking of using a wire wheel to get off the big bits, hit it with Rustoleum Rust Restorer and then prime and paint with some tan Rustoleum Enamel. I also wanted to...

    What have you done to your FMTV or LMTV today

    I don't know if you got the part number for the block heater or not, but I used: 3500081 Zerostart Cat 3116 Engine Heater 1500w 120v It was pretty easy but a snug fit. I used a piece pvc and a hammer to tap it in snug to the block. I drained maybe 8 gallons of antifreeze to get it below the...

    What have you done to your FMTV or LMTV today

    Thanks. I was hoping I could change the nozzle for regular paint and have just one gun. How many gallons did you use on your floor?

    slow leak in tire

    Just in case your issue is complex (more than on issue causing it), I had a tire that would slowly go flat. This is a month after drove it home (2000 miles) with no issues. I noticed when I re-inflated it using the schrader valve (had to disconnect my CTIS for other reasons), the core moved a...

    Who needs interior door handles?

    In a $100k plus vehicle that could require a fast egress, they come with the cheapest door handles I have ever seen. I am not a military preservationist and my wife is not on board with the whole project so money is tight. That being said, I would pay a premium to be able to reliably exit...

    Valve Leaking on side of Wet Tank

    Thanks Smike740. Did that stick the diaphragm to the housing or does it still move freely, just with a better seal?

    Valve Leaking on side of Wet Tank

    I have the same issue. May I ask how you used the RTV? Did you roll the edges of the rubber diaphragm in it to make it a little bigger or did you put a bead around the edge of it while it was in the housing and it didnt stick to the sides? Jason 1995 M1078

    Air Brake Info and Troubleshooting

    I had an issue with my Front and Rear air gauges not reading correctly (they maxed out as soon as power was applied to them, reading 120+ psi all the time). The issue turned out to be a bad wire from the gauge to the transducer(?) below the dash. All the wires were connected, but the right...

    Air Gauge Troubleshooting Help

    Thanks NDT. I think the gauges are ok since a different one gave me the same result. I checked the transmitters under the dash for obvious issues, but I will check them closer. Edit: Found the issue. It was a bad wire on the transmitter beneath the dash. The wire was connected but broken...

    Air Gauge Troubleshooting Help

    I am having a weird problem with my gauges on my 1995 M1078 and any help would be really appreciated. My front and rear air brake gauges read over 120psi all the time. When I start the truck, the gauges pin to the right and I never hear a warning buzzer that the tanks are getting up to...

    Post what is needed to Title an FMTV as an RV in YOUR state.

    Vermont I went in to the DMV with the Bill of Sale from GovPlanet. I registered it as a truck and picked the weight I wanted to register it as (progressively more for each higher bracket). I paid $480ish for 21,000lbs GVW and walked out with plates. No title is required or given since mine...
