IMHO if you do any rope tugging an avg. car/truck hook it to something lower on your truck than the pintel. ESP if the strap/rope your using is short. The upward angle will end up with you replacing peoples bumpers/front fascia cause the angle of the rope cracks their fascia . Should not so...
Good point on wear limitations. There is a place to put it though.... its just not on your truck anymore. Well..... not in this area of your truck anymore :beer:
below is bad drawing. Attaches on the support member there.... runs down a ways then loops back up where it attaches to the cab...
though not confident in the buckle of that strap (easy fix)... @Ronmar do you think that would alone suffice to limit up travel? hmmm... wonder if there is/could be made some solid attachment up above one could use to put a down travel limit strap???
lol which winch are you speaking of? Military or Civilian?
- military PTO winch on FMTV is rated (I believe) on OUTER most winding on the winch's spool. And it is a heck a lot of wire cable on them so that outer layer creates a very large pulley compared to the size it would be if you...
Apologize.. quoted your post by mistake. Meant to be another's post quoted. Fixed it up above now.
I'd suggest us two delete our post to help clean up the thread of unnecessary content.... but that option is unusually not available on this board to members (mods/admins can though) . If...
****NOT GOOD IDEA for full time use ... mayyyyyyyybe if it is nothing more than a Parade Queen.
Reason being is easy to understand. Look under trucks with no outer gear reduction or Portal design..... notice the size of their pumpkin... hint:- they are much larger pumpkins etc. compared to...
thanks..
Can anyone verify the LMTV A1 is different or not on these Spring Brake Diaphragms?
Can anyone verify if the LMTV and? or? MTV A0 is different or not on Spring Brake Diaphragms
Anyone's experience show the Yellow spread sheet wrong from A0 LMTV?
Interesting on what worked what didnt. Was either the not work or worked the same as the ones in the yellow spread sheet at top of this forum as shown below. Looks like what you found worked is type 18... This is spring break correct?
Spring brake diaphragm
Truck pro / Napa
Type 12...
in a way you paid out your arse for all these parts already.... aka your wealth of tools and knowledge is what you paid already...... kudo's. Definitely would become an overtly cost to buy them now..... cause it would be like paying twice in your case if you did.
that's the one (#13) I had to burn out to remove the bar from the truck cause bolt would not remove, hence why i suggest replacing the bolt with one that has built in Zerk for grease. IMHO that one you could create a fixture to hold a too long metal sleeve centered in that part of the swaybar...
Keith's thread started before this forum xisted in here. He added to it recently with some nice stuff. Figured it be good to have a link to it in here for others that may not be in FMTV forum too often.

Gurman hit nail on head.... it takes somewhere between 5 or 10 legit post (to show your participating and not spamming) before you can @so-and-so, use DM's, post pictures or URL's. Pretty common way Discussion Boards to be set up.
the secret to a more quiet diesel is use a water cooled engine. Look into a used water cooled diesel Big Rig APU (aux. power unit) and swap the alternator for a 24v one. Use a 12v step down to 12v, to run any 12v things on APU (sensors?). Advantage is you can set it up also to use that 24v...

IMHO I'd look also for using a bolt with grease zerk. couple sources for those. they do have them at Etrailer... but there are...
there is a rather long thread in here on trying to find available generic or name brand in right size bushing for the lower. Far as I recall there was no success. Maybe some of the resources brought up in that thread might help though.
Hence why on boards like this it is highly recommended...
