I've got these rims I'll install on my truck. These have the advantage of lighter weight, protected ctis, less rust, faster heat dispersion, and don't rust. The drawback is I will have to machine one large nut for each wheel to make the ctis work. Have to figure out how to get air from the...

Well one way I figured to remember to turn the lights on is I wired my rear view camera to the strobe switch. Lights have to be on for it to work. Another way would be to simply run all the relays switch power to the master switch. That way when you turn it on it activates the relays.

High center of gravity, over loaded weight capacity. Liquid load with free surface affect, lots of highway. Not the best choice for your application. Even with the 6x6 the high cg liquid load would be sketchy. I'd do it with a 6x6 but would want a custom tank that saddled the frame. They...

Yes an engine conversion quite intensive.

He drove over a subterranean stream, and the ground gave out and the truck fell in. He lives in permafrost country and it's how it is. Also he had better than a winch, he had another large truck and a giant bucket to yank on him, resulting in broken tow straps. Only way to avoid such...

Ouch, hopefully you don't have to walk an ex in too far. Take photos!!

Yikes!! The wrecker or a HET. Hopefully your not too far out in the boonies.

That is too funny!!!!

I also carry a breaker bar just in case.

For 99.9% of what the military uses the LMTV for it does not need a locker. It's a non combat supply truck for moving people and supplies in the rear. If it gets stuck they call for a wrecker. And when operating forward they have tow vehicles in convoy and the truck pre rigged to be towed...

I use this

Sounds like you have a project ;-) I'd buy one

This is the first I have heard of this issue, any way to rig a bypass to ensure it's the pickup and not the fuel filter housing that's known to cause air fuel issues?

On the road I run 100 psi in my tires. Helps to keep them cool. I've only heard of someone attempting to reprogram. I've also seen a full manual system that pretty cool. I do have a problem of blowing a hub seal every time I use it. Pretty sure due to a nick in the hub where the seal...

Military doesn't put an EGT guage in because at their fueling setting it never gets to a point of needing to monitor it. I wouldn't go much past 290hp tuning. They do make 350hp injectors for marine applications. But they have a much more efficient cooling system with a raw water system. The...

I will be adding one to my truck. If you turn up the power on a 3116, you have to have a plan for the egt's as the engine builds heat quickly. My goal will be the 290hp that the 1088's have. The military has a course for un sticking these things, but it always involves lots of people and...

Most new diesel trucks have a exhaust brake built into the variable vane turbo. Basically it blocks exhaust travel out the exhaust pipe. No matter how you look at it, it's a 17k pound truck. Serious off road is not it's thing. With a high cg side hills are a no go. Mud? 225hp diesel that...

Did it in port Orchard last year with no issues

The LMTV also uses a lot of commercial off the shelf parts. Something that not all MV's do. This helped to lessen the purchase cost along with the cost of maintenance. You will find lockers are available, and some have swapped in higher ratio gear sets for better highway use. Personally I...

its 5/16" 18 thread. checked with thread gauge, and die. not a high quality part for sure.
