    ECU trucks.... maybe an electronic reader and/or maybe computer dash?? based in OR

    Oh BTW the trucks that the FMTV guys make the dash for is only the C7 powered units, not the 3126 (which also are electronic).

    ECU trucks.... maybe an electronic reader and/or maybe computer dash?? based in OR

    Why would you want a "Computer Dash" that is likely made from proprietary components, with questionable life and serviceability?

    Many standard readers will read the transmission, engine, ABS, and CTIS systems on these trucks.

    Alum. matching door latch handle and window crank (NOT military match)

    The LMTV doors have two ways of locking and one doesn't activate the other. The exterior lock prevents the door handle from activating the lock mechanism. The interior lock prevents the lock mechanism from operating.

    Who needs interior door handles?

    Some trucks have a square window crank driveshaft versus the splined unit. I used some inexpensive VW cranks I found NOS, looks out of place with the VW logo though.

    Fast Axles

    Meritor still shows the gears as a regular production part number, they are expensive however and about a 3-4 month wait. 53's will fit an LMTV A0 without the winch with little fanfare (need to trim the front storage boxes. The later trucks and winch trucks need to have the reservoir tank...

    FMTV Replacement Door Handle Upgrade

    No the A1R's had the forward opening handles. The 3126 A1's have either pull up or down handles.

    Fmtv a1p2

    Yes this has been mentioned in other posts you have responded to. The C7 (A1R) trucks don't have the cab airbags.

    FMTV Windshield Washer Reservoir Pump Grommets!

    You can get those new from many European auto manufacturers (VW, Volvo, Porsche etc). I'd avoid buying surplus as they have probably aged out (hence why they were sold as surplus). Rubber does have a shelf life.

    M1078 newbie

    The dude at the local Allison dealer here told me all WTECIII computers are the same. It's the keypad and software that differs.

    EV's also have far more battery reserve than the LMTVs.

    FMTV High Speed Gears

    Rockwell built the axles then Meritor bought out Rockwell's axle division. You have standard LMTV axles, nothing special. Rockwell, Meritor, and Axletech all made those axles. They are for all intents and purposes the same, the only difference is early axles had a fabricated steel housing and...

    FMTV High Speed Gears

    385/65R22.5 are 43 inches in diameter so you will loose 3 inches and won't do anything for higher top speed.

    FMTV High Speed Gears

    I got a quote from them and it was $3200 per gear pair new from Meritor and it would take 120 days. There are no Meritor gears with a ratio higher than 3.07.

    FMTV High Speed Gears

    The military does use off the shelf components, the axles are meritor RF-611 axles. In my travels I've not found anything else remotely close to working.
