    m1083 weak brakes

    Read up on how dangerous those brake cans can be. And be damned careful with 'em if you need to get into one.

    What have you done to your FMTV or LMTV today

    Yeah, but he just needs a tan cargo cover. They are a dime a dozen on GP all the time. The shipping though.....

    Parking brake knobs

    Try a mist of WD40, etc. My truck had that issue and I ordered replacement valves. Then I saw a video where someone suggest getting a little lube down that long hard shaft. What do ya know? It worked and hasn't hissed at me in years. ;p

    A0 Cab air bag system

    A lot of folks have turned away from YouTube for the same reasons as they left FB. Rumble is the new normal for videos. https://rumble.com/ ;)

    What have you done to your FMTV or LMTV today

    Cheaper to paint the truck than to ship a cargo cover. Green is faster, btw.

    Make it look like this: (better yet, add a disconnect) ;)

    Mav’s M1088A1 Conversion

    Yeah, you're going to want to pull two of those batteries reconnect as duals. You never want to run mix-matched batteries in these trucks (you'll kill the alt which will cost you several grand). Given that you got your paper and seeing those batteries and driveshaft (not being "forked"), I...

    Neihoff seem to be Temp sensing/compensating alternators... where is the sensor?

    Unrelated question, but as good a place as any to ask: So, I have a little 24v equalizer on my truck (dual 6TL batteries). I have a little 5a NOCO pulse maintainer (that I move between the two batteries and run periodically). I've wondered how well these two will play together.....charger...

    New M-1083 owner. So, here we go!!

    Short answer: no The "driveline" issues that the 4x4 A0 trucks experience is mostly due to the steep downward angle of the rear driveshaft. The 6x6 trucks do not suffer from this design flaw as they kept the driveshafts straight (via an offset for the input at the pumpkin). Later A1R trucks...

    M1083 reliabilty as daily work truck.

    Clean looking rig ! Yeah, as suggested you might want to start your own thread. Ether is used to assist in cold starts by very briefly altering the fuel/air mix. The ether is stored in a bottle behind the cab. It looks like a little red c02 bottle. Unscrew it and take it in as an exchange...

    LMTV Shocks Absorbers

    Saw a guy on FB that was running King 2.5 Smoothie Bypass. I think the Kings he ran were 21.25” compressed and 35.25" extended. Stock LMTV shocks are 20.94” compressed and 33.26” extended. No info on valving.

    Why don't you just steal the pics and copy/paste what was said. I applied to that group again and still crickets. Not your fault, but that **** p**** me off. Even FB users (the weakest minds in social media) can't gain access due to slacker mods/admins. What a lame excuse for a group...

    Thanks ! Always looking for good war flicks. One of my old favorites (filmed thru the eyes of a combat mopic photographer):

    Are there any pics? What did he use for the enclosure he mentioned?
