    LMTV wont start

    Good afternoon folks, first please let me apologize in advance if this is here somewhere already. I did a couple of searches with no luck. I thought my truck had low batteries because it seems to drain them after sitting for more than a month. I took out my batteries and verified they are good...

    What have you done to your FMTV or LMTV today

    We live in South Carolina, floods aren't uncommon and we have occasional extreme weather. I parked my LMTV in my driveway not blocking the sidewalk or being in the way and I ended up on the home owners Facebook page because it was upsetting to some neighbors. I made a list of people that better...

    cab raise bleeding help

    I spent about 15 years traveling from one 3rd world dump to the next as an engineer before getting sidelined. Most of the time my trouble shooting abilities are good but this hydraulic problem was getting annoying.

    What have you done to your FMTV or LMTV today

    I made mine look up and down 100 times. It's like asking a kid a question and have them nod their heads over and over again., it'll just piss you off.

    cab raise bleeding help

    Thank each of you for your input or humor. Earlier today I got tired of looking for videos or info and started thinking about how I had to get air out of my tilt trim motor on my boat after it ran low. So I went and topped off the hydraulic fluid and pumped the hand pump until the cab went up...

    cab raise bleeding help

    I can read manuals on communications and computer systems as if it were my first language, seems the Air Force knew what they were doing when they didn't make me a mechanic.

    cab raise bleeding help

    I promise I tried to figure this out using the TM's and I looked through the forum. I feel like the TM's might as well be written in Greek because I have a hell of a time finding things in them. I was able to use them for the fan clutch and a few other things but it takes me 3 days to get to the...

    Joined the club with an 18,000lb paperweight this week.

    Mine took about 6 months as I recall. But on the bright side, that was 6 months that I didn't have a single mechanical failure and it didn't puke oil in my driveway a single time while waiting for the EUC

    Some humor at my expense

    Well, I went out last night to try and put on the new fan clutch and no sooner than I got it on the engine the sky opened up. I tried to finish in the rain but it was not possible. Went back out this morning and was able to button everything back up. Warmed up the truck and everything seemed...

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

    We have a Jeep that we love to take to the mountains. I have gone driven in mountains and deserts all over the world. My best friend more often than not was a good winch to help me get out of whatever mess I was in.

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

    I was coming home from the gym yesterday and traffic was back up for a long way. I pulled along side a broken down tow truck (on of those large rotator style trucks) and asked if he wanted me to pull him off the road so he was more safe and so traffic could flow. He asked me, "do you think that...

    Some humor at my expense

    So since returning to Charleston with my LMTV the fan hasn't been working properly. I knew the solenoid has failed so I simply removed power from it so it would run all the time. The fan worked for a couple of my trips to the grocery store and gym I noticed the fan wasn't working anymore...

    We are saving that for our last option. It hasn't been ruled out but we are hoping to avoid it
