did you ever take some pics of the tool kit? Curious to see some of the “official” accessories.

Oh, for that problem you need to use the master key.

Hello, I noticed when fueling my LMTV there was a lot of hissing when opening the fuel cap. I was also having a very subtle idle surging issue and while reading posts I saw mentioned a clogged vent several times. I did a little digging on the forums and couldn't find any pictures or good...

can you share a source for the cloth wire loom and cab bushing? Both of those are pretty baked on my truck.

When I was rummaging through some documentation it seemed like a lot of those had to do with the optional arctic heat system and troop heater. So maybe they end up near the bed?

Rollie 1. I just bought an M1078A1 w/winch in Puyallup, WA about 3 weeks ago. They come up from time to time in the Seattle and Portland area. I only ever look on Craigslist. 2. Looking at nice winch trucks on Govplanet seems expensive, but I only paid $16500 for mine private party, and it’s...

Yes they do, If Timothy McVeigh had blown up a DMV he’d be an American Hero. You are reminding me of my battles with the DMV when I lived in CA back in the day.. I bought a personalized plate from them to convey my sentiments. It was a hit with the LEOs, I don’t think they like the dmv either.

Thanks for this post, I just bought a jug of the Stanadyne to try on my truck, my idle isn’t too terrible, but it definitely hunts a bit when it is cold so I will give it a shot!

Thanks for this!

Nice score! I actually saw this one advertised on Craigslist when I was looking… The red switch is the main power switch. I would flip that off to prevent power drain when not using the truck. On my A1, for example, the light controller remains powered up until I flip that off. When I flip it on...

Would love to see some additional pics of all the tools/accessories. Mine didn’t come with any but I would love to source the correct kit. congrats on your score!

Funny you should mention this, I had observed the diagram that looked like motorcycle wet clutches and thought maybe they were just glued together from lack of use. So I WD-40ed the lever and went to town around the clutch area with a big rubber mallet. Drum was still hung up so I hooked the...

Has anyone experienced the situation where their winch will not "free-wheel" ? I have gone through all the troubleshooting TMs for the A0 truck (haven't gotten ahold of A1 TMs yet) and none of them deal with a clutch malfunction. Best I can find is the parts diagram, but I cant really see from...

Appreciate all the advise guys, you make pretty good points. What do they say, “an ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure”?

Thanks for the tip! I have a fleet pride very near to me, so I will call them on Monday thanks! But in regards to the weights. Is it totally impossible for them to have been manufactured balanced enough to not need a weight? The reason I ask is, my front drive shaft does have a weight spot...

Who did you use for the rebuild?

So I had my wife take the LMTV to a more rural DMV today and they didn’t batt an eye!!! Did the VIN inspection asked how much weight we were hauling and out the door she went with truck plates/registration!!!! “Title is in the mail” they said!! Guess they didn’t like my ugly mug at the first...

Did you ever get your truck registered in OR? Just ran into this today at the DMV in Sherwood. Will not even title it, let alone register..

You guys were spot on!! It was a boost leak! First I tested the diaphragm. I set bench top air compressor to 40psi and then blew air into the wastegate hose as indicated in the attached picture. Then I gently applied pressure and the wastegate moved smooth, and I heard no air escaping...

Thanks for the suggestions guys, really appreciate it! I will go over it with a fine tooth comb first thing in the morning and report back.
