    2000 mile road trip in an FMTV

    I would buy a second truck of the same and tow it behind ; )

    If you need ever your 3116, 3126 or C7 rebuilt

    Hopefully you will never need a rebuild, but if you do: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bUVjJibTLLQ I'd have the shop measure the bore with a stress plate.

    Great new video about the CAT 3116 history, problem areas, etc

    There is a much easier way to do the injector synch. This tool is $1399 (I paid $75 on that auction site we hate) that was developed to make the process much easier and faster: https://youtu.be/sVnRSJDOO7s

    LMTV grease fittings

    All I have left are the rear driver side leaf spring bushings. Battery ran out on Lincoln : ) Not a single zerk was bad. I always actuate the zerk valve a few times with something before I start.

    Solutions to grease the steering U Joints and leaf spring bushings

    Solutions to grease the steering U Joints and leaf spring bushings

    This would not have worked for me, but thanks for the reminder of a good tool to use.

    Solutions to grease the steering U Joints and leaf spring bushings

    I have been trying for some time to get a grease gun on those U joints in the steering. It is so tight in there, I could not get to the fitting, which was a 90 degree zerk. I ended up getting some 30 degree angle grease fitting from Fastenal. Tractor Supply did not have what I needed. I wanted...

    FMTV fuel system questions

    I have never dealt with diesel truck engine fuel delivery, always gas. Thus, I don't know that much about the delivery system differences, other than the mega expensive, don't touch it, injector pump lol My question is this. A common "dead on the side of the road" issue in gas vehicles is a...

    I'm told don't go with a FMTV, go with a 2-1/2 Ton Deuce I like the new technology

    I read somewhere that the FMTV, by the statistics, is 8 times more reliable than the older trucks. I have learned that anything maybe of rubber or plastic on an LMTV is sure to need replacing. Never worked on a deuce, but probably the same in that department. :tank:
