    Wiring question- Unused pigtails

    I installed mine behind a switch. This switch allows me to have all of my accessories disconnected while I’m starting the truck. I fused the 24 volt primary of the converter and connected the 12 volt secondary to a fuse block. All of my 12 volt accessories are separately fused. I don’t want to...

    LMTV as an RV in California

    Tacosause, I drove my M934 from Ft. Riley, Ks. To Michigan. Brought it from Govplanet. I did it with three of my friends and we had a chase vehicle. Never needed it, the truck ran good once we burned out the old fuel. This trip was the best money and I have ever spent! To do it with my son would...

    Losing fuel prime many things done already, still won't run unless bled

    I had the same issue on my M934. I know it’s totally different, but finding a leak on a line that has negive pressure on it is difficult. I got some advice at Findlay to put an electric fuel pump right at the tank and push the fuel to the fuel pump. That way it primes the system every time I...

    Should I buy this thing?!? Lol

    I agree with NDT. If I need a “power tool” like a log splitter or something, I rent it. I don’t have to store it, repair it or maintain it. I get my job done and take it back to the rental store and they do all the work. Another benefit is if you start doing your project and something breaks...

    Cracked frame by steering box

    Has anyone used Lock Tite on these bolts? If I knew they were prone to loosening on their own, I would use Lock Tite. In fact, I use this stuff on almost everything if I know I'm not going to have remove the bolt on a regular basis. I also use nyloc nuts on almost everything for the same reason...

    Yet another sound deadening project

    I bought rubber mats at Tractor Supply. They are used for horse trailers. They are about half inch thick, diamond plate pattern on the top side. This stuff is made from recycled tires. Very heavy and dense. I cut the mats to fit the floor using a saber saw with a metal cutting blade. There are...

    Air leaking into air intake stack (parking brake NOT applied)

    Quick release valve I would very much appreciate a picture of the Quick Release valve. If you could, please use a pointer to point it out. There’s a lot of plumbing under the drivers step. Could you tell me where you bought the replacement? Thanks!

    OHIO BMV Changed my Street Legal Title from Virginia to Off Road USE only

    I like the idea of trying another BMV office. I would not drive my MV there. It sounds like things went bad when the BMV employee saw the vehicle. As far as trying the to get legistration passed to help us, good luck. We tried that in Michigan. We got close but the governor vetoed it. I hate to...

    What have you done to your FMTV or LMTV today

    I put a block heater on my M934. When I plug into a ground fault outlet, it trips the outlet. Turns out the neutral is shorted to ground. It works as long as I plug into a non-gfi outlet. I Bought it at NAPA. When I tried to call the manufacturer to ask if it was made this way intentionally (...

    Installing a ham radio

    I use the 24v to 13.8 converter. I have it connected to a separate 12 volt, deep cycle battery that I use for all my 12 volt accessories. This way if I run the battery down, my truck still starts. I have used half taps in the past and found it to be hard on the battery. I also fuse both primary...
