    M1088 camper conversion

    It's been my experience that high people don't pay a lot of attention while driving no matter what... ;p

    My $15,000 Beer Cooler

    I picked up one of those blood coolers at auction a few months back. Got it for a steal (they've gotten stupid expensive lately). I knew it was too large to really incorporate into my build, but I wanted it for the M1082 trailer (it's my "platform" to sit in the shade and watch bikinis...

    Another Nice Build

    Some nice stuff in this build. Maybe I'm ignorant of the ways of the world, but does that subframe system (see very end of video) seem to be all over the place at the slightest bump? I'd almost be afraid of what that would do in a gusty crosswind going down the highway. I wonder if it...

    Great Build Series

    I rarely subscribe to YouTube channels, but Neil's is full of awesome stuff. Here's his latest:

    Help finding parts for M1093

    A '95 would be an A0 so the image Ronmar posted would be yours. The later trucks like my A1R are totally different when it comes to electronics.

    Ether bottle stuck

    Well that and either is HIGHLY combustible/explosive. Pretty sure the related comments were understood as being in jest. :) And the tank is full, he suspects. So breaking it off would also be a bit dangerous...

    Ether bottle stuck

    Seriously, I'd soak the fitting with PB Blaster or something. And yeah, absolutely outside in a good breeze. I doubt you will hurt the tank (the fitting would be more likely to break I would suspect).

    M1078A1 new to me ?

    Bryce is a young fellow who travels the country installing highspeed gears/lockers for folks. He's around here some but I always found him on the FB groups (back before I nuked FB). I've spoken with him a number of times on driveline issues and parts. There are other parts flippers and even a...

    M1078A1 new to me ?

    I've seen damage like that caused from the forward ujoint grenading. It hits the pavement at speed and makes a hell of a show as it tears loose. If it were the front shaft forward of the transfer case, it's a far more expensive issue. But if that is what happened to this rear shaft...

    Keith's M1078A1 Project Overland

    I forgot to ask, is this yours by chance? If not, it should be. LOL

    Diagnosing CTIS M1078

    Those pressures are normal (58 psi HWY, etc). Well, normal for the truck (not really the tires). You should land that ground, but it is redundant. You can raise those pressures and many here have. Solutions range from $10-a couple hundred. I went with the simple transducer swap. But...

    Need crash course in M1078 LMTV

    I've seen DLA and Gov Planet forklift drivers who can replicate that damage just as quickly. No problem :(

    M1078A1 new to me ?

    And a 2003 would be the 3126 not the 3116 CAT. A0 = 3116 A1 = 3126 (with a very few later ones receiving the C7) A1R = C7

    M1078A1 new to me ?

    You'll need two sets (there is one per differential).

    Need crash course in M1078 LMTV

    Are you certain? A lot of times it's tossed into the bed or behind the seats.

    Thanks!

    Aluminum wheels

    Yep. I've seen M1082 trailers where the CTIS was deleted from the rims. *pretty sure Colt is on here, his trailer came that way I seem to recall

    M1078 hydraulic leak on cab

    Rebuild kit is about $20. https://advancedautomotion.com/shop/product_info.php/products_id/804/osCsid/f36f0ri1gtdeeot6k2o9q6ge66 Or twice that if the vendor has any point of the compass in it's name. And it's a very small set of (some non-standard) rubber o-rings. So shipping should be the...
