    M1088 camper conversion

    NICE ! Yeah, I dread that as well (mostly because I am not relocating the spare and only have so much room). I haven't decided if I want to pursue a more compact airfilter solution. My fear is that once I do the hole, I'll want to change something. Same problem I have with the side door...

    Aluminum wheels

    Yep. They changed to the aluminum when the P2 came out.

    Keith's M1078A1 Project Overland

    I know I don't tell you enough how much I love that porch. ;)

    M1078 Transmission Problem

    That's not a transmission problem. THIS is a transmission problem ! ;p ;p

    Aluminum wheels

    Search around in here for "aluminum wheels/rims/Titans/etc". I seem to recall a thread in here that documented the CTIS mod onto the Titan wheels.

    M1078 Transmission Problem

    That would be a LOT of bolts to come lose at once. :)

    m1078 No reverse wiring?

    As to the VIM, that's where mine were located on both my A0's. Was this truck running/driving since you've had it?

    m1078 No reverse wiring?

    The fan will stay on due to a lack of air (no air = default "clutch lock, fan on"). So I would speculate that fan and lift are related (to air, both fed by the wet tank I think). Can you manually pump the cab up at all? Fluid level in manual reservoir? Fluid level in the upper reservoir?

    m1078 No reverse wiring?

    Remember, Service or Park lights have to be on. Not that you'd miss that, but I did when I got my first truck. :)

    m1078 No reverse wiring?

    Slightly off but related, I need to run a backup strobe and alarm to my M1082 trailer that I drag to the beach. I'm pretty good about tossing a radio to someone to spot me if I'm backing around to position at little events out there but doing it at night always makes me nervous. I think most...

    m1078 No reverse wiring?

    Yeah, it was really scratched up.

    M1078 Air/Hydraulic Pump Electric Replacement

    Yep Still, you can get a stepdown off Amazon for under $50. I'm sure there is one out there than can handle the amps. https://www.amazon.com/Cllena-Voltage-Converter-Waterproof-Transformer/dp/B07JK7ZM8D

    What have you done WITH your FMTV ( trips, Rescues etc) NOT: fixes, updates etc

    Humor ? https://babylonbee.com/news/report-stimulus-check-already-spent-on-tank-of-gas

    m1078 No reverse wiring?

    Are the OEM wires on the rear bumperette intact? If so, just look for the one on the driverside that has the "287" marker tag.

    m1078 No reverse wiring?

    I don't recall, but I think it's in the back of the M1078 TM. I know there is also a full schematic that prints out something like 36 feet long. LOL

    m1078 No reverse wiring?

    Wire tag on mine looks to read "287" (positive about the "87" but the "2" is pretty mangled).
  18. Third From Texas

    m1078 No reverse wiring?

    The OEM backup light was placed on the driverside rear bumperette. I always replace them with a flood and then tap in a backup alarm. Let me see if I can read a wire tag, else it's in the TM schematic I'm sure.

    M1078 Air/Hydraulic Pump Electric Replacement

    This might be an option but I don't know the specs offhand. They are designed to lift the rear armored door on an MRAP so I assume it can handle the cab. Bonus: It has a manual backup built-in. They've been flowing off GP for weeks and I think it would work. Some scalper looks to be hoarding...

    Crazy Thought? M1079 box on a M1082 trailer?

    I've seen four M1095's sold in the past (and two of them were wrecks). Compared to a thousand M1082's sold. So they are in the realm of "Unobtainium" rare...
