    LMTV winch harness mystery connector

    Well, damn. I wonder what that part is, and how I find a replacement? It came to me like that.

    Link got chewed up by the forums, let's see if this works: http://www.gunnebojohnson.com/wp-content/uploads/Rigging-Combined1.pdf

    LMTV's show me your WINCH

    The winch on the MTVs is 15.5k.

    Snatch block sizes

    It just says Wire Rope 3/4", so how did you go about determining that it is for 1/2"?

    Snatch block sizes

    Using a bigger DIAMETER sheave is ok, but what he is asking about is the size of the groove in the perimeter that the cable sits in. You do not want to use a groove that is too big, or the cable will flatten and become damaged. So he's asking how much bigger of a groove you can get away with.

    There are standard equipment lists in the back of some of the TMs, as well as a separate hand receipt PDF, available. You could look through those and see what they say.

    LMTV winch harness mystery connector

    This is not the connector that plugs into the PTO. That's a different one on the harness, and we have that one plugged in already.

    LMTV winch harness mystery connector

    I don't have it handy at the moment, but the grey end is just a standard 2-pin "weather pack" connector. The mating weather pack connector is on the winch harness, and this little pigtail plugs into. The green connector does not appear broken. I had the same thought at first, so I looked at...

    LMTV winch harness mystery connector

    After a reasonable search, I can't find anything this goes to. It's possible it goes to something I can't see well, which is why I'm asking. Whatever it is, it would has to be near the PTO, on the driver's side of the transmission.

    LMTV winch harness mystery connector

    I'm transplanting a winch off an M1083A0 (6x6) to my M1078A0 (4x4). The winch harness had this little pigtail on the portion that routes over toward the PTO. The grey weatherpak connector clips onto the harness, and the green end goes onto <SOMETHING>. Any idea what it's for? I can't seem to...

    Water Pump Leak, small crack in rear of housing

    The rear pump housing is aluminum. The reason the alternator has 2 belts isn't redundancy, it's because two belts are needed to handle the force. Water pump doesn't require as much. Yes, you have to take the fan off to get the water pump belt changed, but you don't need to remove the belt to...

    M1078 GVWR Over the Road

    It's in the TM. Table 1-3, Vehicle Weights and Payloads. Truck, Cargo, M1078 17,770 lbs (8,068 kgs) OliveDrab.com seems to be edited by people who go by the philosophy "Close enough for government work." I've stopped going to that site, because there is so much incorrect information... and...

    Looks like the part numbers are slightly different.

    Original unit / use M1090

    This is the bridge number. You set it based on how heavy you are, including cargo, so that as you cross military bridges you know if it will hold you.

    LMTV M1078 3D CAD Model on OnShape

    I'm a fellow SolidWorks user, but I'm not aware of any accurate files existing for any software.

    Doubles as a garden hose pulley.

    Correct FMTV stencil font?

    It's obviously possible, but probably introduces hassles that aren't worth it.

    Air over hydraulic, CTIS, and few other question

    But the automatic CTIS is so awesome!

    Air over hydraulic, CTIS, and few other question

    You would have to look at the wiring diagrams and see, but I don't think that's how it would work. My guess is that you mount the CBRN detector box on top of the air filter there and plug it into the electrical plug, no connection to the air intake as it just detects the surrounding air on its...
