    Why are the splines of my MTV driveshaft dipped in plastic?? And is this too much movement??

    He has the spicer on hand likely cause that is what many of the larger commercial trucks (dump trucks, busses, 18wheelers etc?).

    260 amp alternator

    btw.... 260amp is not direct swap if I recall right. You have to make some mods including moving a shock tower.

    @RRaulston - maybe you can get the white Ring from Power Packer who makes these units. Was honestly shocked CAT even had a clue where to look. otherwise you might could try super glue sprinkled with baking soda to fix the ring? shape it as needed with Drimel tool orr? ?

    Evidence of FMTV Driveshaft rework by S&S

    Looks like a Lazy Depot mechanic scratched in your "D". That is far more plausible than it not getting done cause the order was ALL LMTV TRUCKS to be upgraded and from that point forward all following trucks to be manufactured with these stronger components ouf of the factory

    Evidence of FMTV Driveshaft rework by S&S

    what is date of delivery? if it was delivered much further out from 95 manufacture ..... then my understanding is the upgrade was automatic. Example my 1994 build has a 1997 Delivery. No D ("D"epot) mark... Same as all the newer trucks that left the plant in 97.... Seally plant was closed for...

    appreciate the info. Neat trick. IMHO add a 12v inline; petrol type is fine, aux fuel pump as close to the tank as you can and put it on a switch. This can be used to prime and can be used to get you by if you get an air leak on a trip. In that case you just leave it on. Your hand primer not...

    Seek wisdom on the better vehicle to convert to a camping rig..

    have heard that too. If there are any holes in the skin... was told to be very wary since the older ones are a good bit stick built. Them being stick built is another issue to consider. Though I dont know if only the expando part is stick and rest is strong structural metal.... or if it is...

    make sure to trace the other Pos and Neg to see where it goes as well... could well be the 24v connection is only a "sensing" thing the ECU uses to determine what ECU should do when there is/is not 24v. Its presence does not mean it powers the ECU. Pretty sure we do know it powers the TCU
