I would be in for a rally but...

Any word on how these are working out?

That truck is awesome. I hope to see that running around the pnw.

When I first got the hub apart, I was a bit confused as I thought both sides were oil bath lubed. So when the back bearing came out greasy, I had to really look at things and realized that rear were greased and sealed from the front. I wonder why they didn't just drill some oil passages from...

Ha yes, I did pack the rear side bearings. The bigger they are, the easier they are to load with grease. New seals are in, hub is ready to go on, and being near Seattle, hear comes the rain.... well at least it gives me time to blow out the oil on the ctis lines. Seal failure caused my hub...

I did get it. Double checked it all and came up with this.

FMTV Hub removal CTIS Seal Help!! Trying to get my hub off and it is stuck on. I have removed everything I can see including the small spring clip. What am I missing?

Safe as long as you have a brake controller set up properly , and don't exceed the tire or axle ratings on the trailer. Also keep the proper weight on the tongue. If you dig into it deeper you will also learn weight on the tongue equals weight removed from the trailer axles. Gives you more...

Trailers behind an lmtv equal Commercial drivers license. As far as tow ratings, the lmtv is rated to tow another fully loaded one. Before you tow anything read up on the laws. Also considering my 8000 pound pickup can tow 20000+ pounds. I'm sure a 17k pound medium duty truck is better than 10k.

Awesome truck!!! Hopefully you find employment that fits your needs. I'm 16 years in the USCG and still don't know what I want to be when I grow up.

Thanks, good info. I already have the tire and brake drum off. That was fairly easy, may have been the gear oil all over everything.

I have to replace my ctis seals on one of my front hubs. A couple of questions for the group. What gear oil to use? I know 75-90w but which synthetic have you found to run cooler? Any tips from those that have done this? How much swearing will be done?

Check your relays and fuses. Swap in one that you know works.

well then I guess my 1994 m1078 with high speed gears, and half the a/c parts is for sale LOL. It's a two owner unit, only driven by responsible personnel, has original interior and upgraded 200amp alternator for keeping all of your electronics charged. It can be had for the low low price of...

Shipping is 3.3k. From Bragg to Seattle. That's at least what I paid.

Just needs a lift kit! any rubbing while steering? Also may have to extend the boarding ladder lol

I ordered hella h4 glass lenses off of the interwebs with h4 bulbs. 100% better

on a m1088 the center axle messes you up. The pinion gear I believe is made differently, so it's more than just a ring and pinion swap. You would have to consult the tm's and compare part numbers. For the other axles its an easy center section swap.

Got some work to do to mine to get it a bit more reliable.

Mine is licensed as "commercial" for "non commercial use". You have no other option around this, unless you work through the dmv and have the the requirements for a RV. With a 1079 if you build a bed that could be considered permanent it may work. I did a lot of research and in WA trucks are...
