    From fire truck to MTV

    This is what I am referring to, but haven't looked into the details too much. I tried another GFCI on the pedestal with same results. Sometimes charges for and hour, of sometimes trips in a couple minutes.

    From fire truck to MTV

    Currently out at a frozen lake about 2 hours from home. Absolutely gorgeous and having a wonderful time with the family. Tried using shore power but their GFCI keeps tripping, I think it's because of the various inductive loads from the autotransformer and inverter. There are different GFCI trip...

    How to secure or lift the second axle when both wheels are removed

    If you are taking the wheels off, how do you plan on getting them in the bed? From what I've heard, yards can be very different, some allow you to work on the truck and some want you out of there immediately.

    From fire truck to MTV

    Reworked the chassis and cab grounds, that one to the cab was atrocious - paint and the toothed washed wasn't even compressed against the two surfaces. Used a flap wheel and carbon conductive grease for the various connections. Christmas is coming so threw on some lights. Also put some on the...

    Tow eye dimensions

    Well looks like the fmtv mount won't fit without a little grinding. 0.02" too narrow. Edit: saw the dimension correction above. Looks like it will fit for moving around slow, but not enough room to put in a sleeve. MTVR on the left, FMTV adapter on right Connected: E

    A1 Exhaust Reroute

    What prevents this kind of setup from having excess rain fill up the exhaust/turbo/cylinders? Obviously the slash cut outlet helps some.

    Tow eye dimensions

    Awesome, thanks I'll check if it will fit and post up. Yeah fmtv 1.0" compared to mtvr 1.5". That said the FMTV is still rated 65,000 lb WLL

    Tow eye dimensions

    Wondering if my FMTV tow feet will work with some sleeves (1.0") to be able to move the MTVR around. Could someone please take these two measurements?

    From fire truck to MTV

    I did, but there just wasn't enough room to fab the structure needed for those ISO mounts - I wanted to keep the box as low as possible and with the battery box and fuel tank locations it just wouldn't work. Having compliance between the box and frame was very important and if using the ISO...

    I may do this as we plan to go out quite a bit in the cold. Looks like a simple install.

    Looking for M1078A1 ABS troubleshooting guide

    My truck was also MME, and my breaker was also pulled. After various diagnosing and trying to talk to the ABS computer (with some strange results, I think it wasn't quite dead) I took the thing apart and found water intrusion. Trying to find another one was a little tricky, I bought a...

    Have an FMTV, how is the MTVR in comparison?

    11370136 Sale: 10/16/24 Submitted to govplanet 10/17 Review 10/21 Submitted to TSC 11/14 Looks like we bought ours at a good time, no more MTVRs (or even FMTVs) listed on govplanet.

    Intermittent check engine light at max speed/RPM

    I just had to replace my boost pressure sensor. Over $200 and a real pain to get to. Was happy with the straight thread/o-ring seal though. On a C7.

    How well does AC in the MTVR work?

    Two slightly different scans. Note there are some differences in the AC kits and these both seem like slightly older versions of the instructions.

    What have you done to your MTVR today?

    Looks pretty solid. There seems to be some funky wiring going on by the pedals and in one of the engine shots. Looking at the volt meter it may very well just be batteries. Good to see "Runs" written on the hood.

    Alternate Alternator Selection

    It's been a while so take with a grain of salt, but I thought there were two standards for pad mounts and we have the mounting holes for both.

    Looking to Purchase an LMTV

    Sound like the right choice. Even with a great example, there are still tons of maintenance items to tackle.
