Update: I will sell both "big a$$" boxes; it fits in the back of the LMTV like a traditional truck box. Its girth interferes with the function of the troop seating and because I am inexplicably insistent upon not removing the troop seats, I have decided to part ways with both boxes. Also, in...

OK, so I'm going to dust this off because I'm a bit lost. I was able to wire a keyed ignition in place of the pushbutton start (literally, in the place where the pushbutton was), that also eliminated the rocker switch for the battery. Now I want to dial it back since I was told independently...

Even your vehicles have to wear masks? Pretty draconian if you ask me...

4523 is the code, and yes, the MODE light stays lit along with it, so I can't clear the code. Suprman told me to check the wiring harness, and I just found the associated task in the TM.

The title pretty much says it all... Do I need to just pop the cork on the bottom of the transmission and drain fluid, or is it more nuanced?

Thanks guys 👍

So the thread title pretty much says it all... I'm looking to find a good, existing 12v circuit I could add a small fuse panel to that would power exterior LED floods, USB phone chargers etc. I plan on splicing into the ignition power for the stereo and rear camera, but other than those, where...

The process / expense of going from this: To this: Has exhausted my time & resources. I'm now woefully behind on the HoneyDo list and have dug a substantial financial hole from which I need to emerge.

Unfortunately it is doubtful I will make it to Denton, but the "big a$$" boxes are $300 ea. I have 50 cal, 40mm, and 60mm ammo cans for $10 ea as well. LMTV shackles are $50 ea., without assuming shipping cost. I can probably stuff a couple in a prepaid USPS box for a flat rate shipping cost...

Off the top of my head I have 13 LMTV shackles, over a dozen different sized Hardigg cases that are manageable size (for reference, a bit smaller than M1078 driver's / co-driver metal boxes) if you want water tight storage in your MV while still freeing up some real estate. I don't know if...

If you separate the transfer case from the transmission (make sure to undo 6 o'clock bolt on rear housing), and remove the long stretch of exhaust, including the muffler (clamps at joints: 1/2" ratchet works), then there should be enough clearance to get the transmission out from underneath with...

***UPDATE*** The transfer case swap is complete, and the M1078 is running! Thanks again to @wheelspinner and @simp5782 for their help. Huge thanks to @Suprman who offered his expertise on the issue and navigated me through the final straits. I cannot overstate how amazing it is that people...

Supposedly 1,600 lbs

I absolutely want one with a crane, but I have to balance with my strong desire to remain wed to my wife... 🤔

It was bad enough standing there with my two (2) pseudo-functional LMTVs when wheelspinner showed me a pic of his with a crane, but now you just have to pile it on, eh? 😂

Just to give you an idea of costs (prepare for pucker factor), places charge ~$140/hr for labor, and Fayetteville charged me 15 hrs though it took "28 hrs". If it makes a God awful grinding noise at the top end of 6th and all of 7th gear, that's a transfer case issue, not tranny, FYI.

M1078 and M1081 home at last! HUGE thanks to simp for the new-to-me transmission and all his knowledge in isolating the T-case as the issue post-swap. Another HUGE thanks to wheelspinner for driving to Fayetteville yesterday to diagnose the remaining issue with the truck (isolated T-case as...

I hear you @coachgeo , I did some serious soul-searching when the numbers hit me this morning. The rest of the truck is in pretty great shape, aside from the cab not raising, as far as I can tell. Haven't had a chance to get to know every inch yet, since I drove is just far enough to require a...

I'm attaching the PDF of the documented work completed / quote for additional work for everyone's benefit. If anyone has any input (aside from the tranny cost being stupid inflated), please advise.
