I changed my engine oil for the first time and when I checked the drain plug magnet is was pretty clean. So that is good news.

I did not like the process of changing the oil on these trucks. Having the oil shoot out the side of the oil pan and head straight for the tire seems like a bad idea. Also, I am using 5 gallon buckets and the Cat C-12 holds a lot more than one bucket so then I had to switch buckets while the...

Sorry my reply is more than an hour but I was changing tranny fluid and it took a lot longer than I thought. It goes to the tranny on the front driver's side. Here is the proof: And here is where the port is to allow the tranny fluid into the hose.

I had the same issue with my passenger fender, well, not hitting a car, just coming off. I used a fiberglass repair kit to fix it. Sent from my SM-G988U1 using Tapatalk

Yes, they are the sample points and they are discussed in another thread. Strange that it is disconnected. Give me an hour and I will go see where it goes to on my truck. Sent from my SM-G988U1 using Tapatalk

I would not think you damaged the alternator just by trying to jump especially if the the cut off switch was off. I am not aware of any fuse or circuit breaker from the alternator to the battery. If there is one, it would be big like 150 amps or more. If the alternator is not putting out power...

Looks like you stopped in Utah. I live about 50 miles South of Boyce Equipment.

Here are the measurements from my truck - your mileage may vary. 1. 33 inches. 2. My truck was not on flat ground so it is about 65 inches but might be 67. These measurements are in another post too. 3. 80 inches. You should thank me for this because it was snowing and cold as hades...

Here are photos showing a LMTV measurements. I am not sure it could be easily done because the LMTV bumper is triangle shaped. Overall width: Distance between mount points: Height of bumper including the triangle part:

I think they bought USMC-592475 as a parts truck because it does not run. I could use a part off of it. PLEASE let me know if you have the truck!

Welcome HopperChopper77, Well, I am happy with mine - mostly. I did not pay anything near what it is worth so I guess I got a good deal. BUT I have fixed a lot of things. It is still not perfect but I am having fun doing it. One disadvantage is the MPG, not so great. Also parts are hard to...

If the dipstick was missing then water may have gotten into the tranny. I think that is what happened to mine. My 7 Ton has the dipstick but it was missing the O ring and I think water got into the tranny. I will tell you right now that that dipstick is 5 or 6 feet long so shipping is going to...

Camoguy, Do you want to sell one of the jack stands?

This is not helpful but I was going to put a 5 Ton front bumper on my 7 Ton so I could have Steel instead of Aluminum but the sale was cancelled after they found out that they were out of 5 Ton bumpers. Dang. A guy down the street has a 1078 and I could ask him about the dimensions if you like...

The side gashes (slits) are bad. I have had a couple tires fail from them. I would recommend replacing the tires as soon as you can. Micha had one fail too. You can drive on a tire with side gashes for a few miles at low speed but on the freeway it only takes about 50 miles before a major...

My hubs did not make any noise and were working fine. I just wanted to be proactive.

I got my insurance through Progressive Commercial also. It costs me about $400 per year but I increased the liability so it is more expensive.

Do you sell them? Mine is missing. What is needed underneath it?

Well, this is not actually about the truck itself but I did get a sixcon for fuel. It holds 900 gallons and bolts right to the 7 Ton bed with the ISO locks. So including the regular tank I could carry about 1,000 gallons of diesel. If I get about 6 miles per gallon, then I could drive about...

Great photos. Thanks for sharing. Sent from my SM-G988U1 using Tapatalk
