    M1083 crank no start, looking for a Mechanic to help me get it started

    I suspect that he's thinking back to this part expecting you to post a drawing of the specifics...

    Beginning the Journey

    A0 and A1 4-wheel trucks have the issues. The 6x6 and the A1R have corrected (ie: straight not down angled) setups thus do not suffer the same catastrophic vibration issues.

    LM/FMTV TURN SIGNAL /HIGH BEAM SWITCH ?

    Why not replace the entire column with a real truck column (w/turn signals, horn, cruise, *real** tilt, phone and radio controls)? :)

    2 inch receiver hitch source?

    Hey, it adds up fast: NOS auction LMTV bumper = $150 Steel stock = $60 Welding rods = $12 Paint = $10 Labor = $50 Profit = $2318 I don't see a problem. /sarcasm ;)

    Paging Dr Ronmar, etc

    Yeah, my air horn pulls from the fan supply. And when the fan is on, the horn won't work (which happens a LOT at the beach, lol). So yeah, I need to fix that too.... :)

    M1083 crank no start, looking for a Mechanic to help me get it started

    Bret is in Irving up NW of Dallas but I don't know if he wrenches for other folks. But as Chief says with more info we can get you in the right direction, I bet. Cranking is good. Fuel issue is the usual suspect at that point (and one of the easier things to address/diagnose). You have the...

    2 inch receiver hitch source?

    When someone actually *makes* something, I don't mind them charging for their product. *opposed to flipping a $20 something they won at auction for $900 That said, I base value on quality. If it's a "weld it yourself kit", the quality will be on who welds it so the parts are only worth what I...

    Paging Dr Ronmar, etc

    Rgr all. If it's the controller I'm likely going to go with a manual control or possibly an Arduino-based solution. The OEM controllers simply don't seem to last (this one didn't have 10K miles on it yet). Seems most every truck has had issue with them at some point so I wouldn't really be...

    Awesome stuff. At least I have a place to start now. Thanks !

    Paging Dr Ronmar, etc

    Revisiting this: While troubleshooting months ago, I poked around the dash and the usual suspects. Everything I checked that should be grounded, was grounded. One thing I had done was disconnect the CTIS controller. I was unable to replicate the issue I was having (the gauges and dummy lights...

    Civilian Headlight and Keyed Ignition Switches for FMTV/LMTV - Looking for Input

    You can find them on eBay. But you're really only paying for someone to do the mod you can easily do.

    Air Hose Add On

    I made my own but have never really used it. Been a couple years and I don't recall the specifics, but the truck has to be running and in neutral with the brakes off or something for it to work. Whatever it was always made me a bit nervous on any surface with a grade and I never have a...

    Air Hose Add On

    I suppose not. I mean you could do the same right off a brake line if you wanted.. But just to be on the safe side, I'd still recommend tapping the wet tank. :)
