  1. Reworked LMTV

    What have you done to your FMTV or LMTV today

    Rear view camera installed. Replaced PYLE camera with IR security camera. Much improved quality and now has really good night vision. Can't really tell from this picture though, since the photo washed out. Alternator noise noted on screen, so will need filter.

    What have you done to your FMTV or LMTV today

    Trailer 12 Pin cord showed wear on insulation. One trick that I use with minor to moderate insulation wear is to spray the insulation with liquid electrical tape spray rubber. I used this on the NATO cables in the battery box too. Works great on road rash or UV breakdown and makes it look a lot...

    Anyone recommend a brand for the Serv and Emerg air lines on M1082? I noticed that some brands had complaints of kinks. Thanks!

    M-1088 Electrical Problems

    I lost the headlights on mine suddenly. Turns out it was the turn signal. I took the turn signal apart. I do not recommend that you do this. Lots of things can break from what I could see. Small springs and plastic parts. $200 for replacement new. Bouncing meter may indicate AC at the gauge...

    What have you done to your FMTV or LMTV today

    Yes, they seem work well. I run Rain-X in case the wipers fail altogether. Cheap insurance. I'm going try the silicone washer lines today. Will post results. You may want to check the wiper spring tension. I have seen replacement arms somewhere.

    New glad hans on all 4 corners. Philips brand. Front: easy. Rear: PITA through frame fittings seized. Some schedule 40 zinc fittings present. Upgraded windshield wiper blades to PIAA silicone. Previous wipers went bad very fast. Silicone will last around 10 years. Working on replacing washer...

    A1R Warning about gauges

    So if the volt meters speaks CANBUS, then the whole system is CANBUS. Seems a bit overkill to canbus a volt meter, but it does not really surprise me. Now that I think of it, if a had a truck with an ECM, I might carry a pre-programmed spare. My experience with ECMs has been not great. Don't...

    Oh ok, so he is just trying to get the speedometer working. Thought he had a dead CPU board.

    A1R Warning about gauges

    I have never looked at one on a military vehicle, but usually there is a central CPU and small cpu's in various aspects of its operation. Look for a box that is similar to the C7 or 3126's ECM. The box may be heavily shielded, if it is EMP proof. In a car with CANBUS, for example, the operation...

    A1R Warning about gauges

    I can read these signals with my Picoscope if it is CANBUS. If there is no signal, the whole board typically gets replaced.
