It’s in the parts sheet at the top of the forum. About 40 bucks.

Could always change the location, drill new holes in the frame, and use the bracket as is. Or build a bracket from scratch. I think of it rather as converting a universal part into a milspec one :beer:

No, will not bolt in. Maybe you could pull the gear and pinion but as it is it will not

I would want to verify verify a bunch of things first. Width of the wheel flanges (come in 2 different widths, the wide which matches our axle width has low speed gears, the narrow has highspeed gears). spring perch center to center (these have a different width) you will need mrap rims. Will...

Duck bill drain

That’s a remote operated small arms mount. Think an easy 100k+

Do you always have to keep the batteries warm or just when charging and using? I will more than likely run the truck on two 8D batteries, and some kind of agm deep cycle for the house batteries in 24v for inverter efficiency, and allow to cross connect to start the truck in an emergency. 6TL’s...

Trans module dose not get any power until the master power switch is on.

I put mine on the top of the rear axle looking forward. It’s actually a cool camera angle. Would be a great spot for one off road as well.

Search on a big auction site for a “new style lmtv ctis wheel rim valve & hose to stem”. It has the part your looking for and some others that are good to have on hand for spares.

There is a stem that goes from the main rim through a hole in face plate part of the rim and that’s what the kneeling valve or elbows thread on to. Kneeling valves are known to leak. I had this problem on mine as well. Replaced it, and replaced it again with a standard elbow. Unless your...

I bought the Pyle two camera system, worked great only installed one camera. Now that once camera has dust and moisture in it all the time and camera night vision function doesn’t know when to work. I think a raspberry pi setup with home brew cameras feeding a dvr, will be in my future.

So can you tell us about your rv set up. what you liked, what you don't, and what you would change if you were to build another m1078. Seems about everyday a new person shows up on steelsoldiers wanting to build an RV out of a FMTV/LMTV. A good opportunity to share some lessons learned on...

Excellent! I will be taking my front in as well for an inspection and balance. It’s cheap insurance. I’ve further isolated that my shake. It appears only at a speed of 20-25 mph and seems to be timed to rotation of a tire. I’ve got some tires to swap in, will have to wait for the mud to dry...

My personal opinion is a HET M1070 should be your next truck. It’s a crew cab as well. You would be the king of glamis RV’s

We’ll some follow up to my viberations. Today I checked rim run out in the rear, the left rear was a little off center so I loosened the lug nuts and re torqued and double checked. From there I found about an eighth of tire out of round. May be from the fact it was 24 degrees out and I didn’t...

I’m sure with it correctly timed things will run much smoother. I wouldn’t fear the gear change, meritor has good write ups on setting gear lash. Setting pinion depth can be a pain. The size of everything is what makes things difficult. I had never done a meritor style before, and this was...

Yeah that cap is kind of important. Please keep us informed on the outcome.

I love my truck, but it’s a never ending repair. I happen to enjoy working in thing, figuring out how they operate and work. Mine is a 94 so it’s of the older lot, and has had a hard life of young soldiers flogging it. So now I’m taking one project at a time getting it back up to snuff. FMTV...
