Thought I would share my latest project. Decided I would make this a multi use truck. Built a dumping frame with a winch so that I could make the bed dump and make it removable so I could drop the bed and pull on a camper when I want to get out of town. The beds pin onto the frame when...

OK, got it will try that tomorrow Thank you

Thank you!

I just went onto Gemplers and looked up #s or4201a and S01978245. Neither number comes up on their system. I see it on your invoice, it should be easy to find, but no luck. When I talked to them today, they said they discontinued a lot of their tire stuff. I did find the O-rings on Eriks...

I called haltec, they said part number or420 is .5” diameter and they don’t have an o ring to match the specs I called gempler and they claim not to have the part either I called les schwab and they only have part number 50184 which I think is for a humvee I’m striking out here. Why are...

There are lots of threads regarding the tire o-rings for military trucks, but having a hard time finding the part number to confirm I am ordering the correct O-Rings. Anybody know a good part number and a good source? If I understand correctly they are 20" x 3/8" thick?

Thanks for the tip. A semi truck cooler would be good. Was hoping somebody might have a lead on a cooler from a M1088 or M1083

I agree. With the camper on the back, I think air to air is the way to go. Thoughts on where to get an air to air cooler?

Been thinking it would be a good idea to replace the coolant / transmission fluid heat ex-changer out of my M1078 to an air cooled unit like in the M1088 and M1083's. It seems the possibility of coolant eventually getting into the transmission via the heat ex-changer is a good reason to...

I just did a little digging and downloaded the specs for the XZL and the MVT tires from Goodyear and Michelin The XZL tires have a load J rating (12,300 pounds) This is impressive. Unfortunately their speed rating is only 55 mph. The MVT tires have a load G rating (9,370 pounds). They have...

Thank you for the replies. This truck is being built out with a 7' tall camper on the back so I am concerned about going any taller with the tires, don't want to encourage the truck to roll. I do have a set of high speed pumpkins to replace in my axles, which will take care of speed issues...

Hey folks I am about to purchase tires for my M1078. Currently I have a set of Michelin XML tires on the truck. Most of the driving this truck will see is on the highway, due to it being an Expedition Camper. However it will see its share of off road use. The goal is to make the truck as...

Would like to swap my A0 heater box assembly to an A1 so I can be prepped for AC. Can anyone point me in the right direction to get one?

I found somebody who had some high speed gears and purchased the last set he had. Thanks to all that replied to this post so far. I am ordering a set of lockers for the rear, and then I dig in to the swap. What seals / parts should I order before hand? Where would I get them?

Left a message for Bryce in Florida a while back, no returned call Anybody else have any other leads.

Yes there are a few companies that come up when you do a google search that claim to have the parts. Unfortunately when you call them they say they don't have them and will have to look into it and call you back. After they do call you back (if you are lucky) they tell you they can't get them...

The Meritor part number is B416561

Thanks guys for the input. No returned Call from Bryce in Florida yet. The stock tires are plenty big, don't think I'm interested in going bigger. Fast axles is the way I want to go. Does anybody know a company that works on military rigs that might be able to order ring and pinions...

I just left Bryce a message, will see how that shakes out when he calls back. Am I correct to assume there are no new options for us to purchase?

I called FMTV sales in Montana. They can purchase the parts new, but they won't sell them anymore. They said they only use them for their vehicles. Any other options?
