Con: makes the cool-looking CTIS wheel covers moot ;)

As I said, I've been thru the manual countless times. I have both hard copy and electronic. Never once have I seen it until Ronmar posted that image. Thanks

My cans have all had the plastic cover covering the hole.

For stowage? As in, if I ever need this I know where it will be? I know how to cage a break can, I've just never seen a place to store the bolt.

Likely a $20 part from Allison. Or a $200 surplus part (on the bright side it will have a NSN).

ie: like the trans vent plug holder

LOL No seriously, there is a cage bolt holder on these trucks? I've been carrying a set in my tool box for years. Is there seriously a stowage place for them on the LMTV?

I saw a fug-ton of 'em blow thru an auction site recently. I won't try to screw the flipper as it was a bulk deal, but yeah they are out there...

Der's cagin' bolt HOLDERS!!!??? Three trucks and a thousand times thru the manuals and I missed this. Lol

Take a 12v charger. If there is a drain, it will be on the 12v side. And a 12v can charge each battery independently.

Oh I love it. Very sharp look.

Agreed !!!! Although I'd destroy all that shiny paint just driving past the trees on my street (and more so in the brush). I'm even giving the CARC a run for it's money with scrapes and cuts. Heh But yeah, this is one of my favorite builds of them all !

Grab a plastic tarp if you are going to drive it home. Because if you end up under the truck for some reason it will always be: In mud In fire ants In a puddle In gravel In some sort of (please let it be animal) poo In snow In ice *28 hours broken down during a a recovery in below freezing...

A '98 would be a 1078A0 with a CAT 3116 and Allison 3020.

Some reading matierial (the "TM"). https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/tm9-2320-365-24p-parts-m1078-2-1-2-ton-lmtv-aug2005.115721/#post-1451130

Charge each 12v battery independently (no need to disconnect anything). If even one won't hold 12v, they often won't crank. If at least two are holding, you can do a fast field mod to convert to dual bats opposed to quad (see image). And if you plan of driving it home, you may consider...

And a 12' squad will of course work as well. Ambo boxes can be had for around $1500 if you hunt around. Here is one done that retained the cargo bed.

Another option that is quite affordable is a retired ambo box. A 14' squad box can be made to fit quite nicely with very little overhang:

OK, rough check with a tape is 7.6' x 12'

Van body interior is roughly 7x12 (I don't recall the exact specs offhand)
