You are putting the cart before the horse. I would spec out the RV and pick the truck according to your constraints.

Yup figured it out about 10 minutes after I made the original post. I just found it odd that both trucks did the same thing so I guess it's a common failure or I'm just that lucky (not).

Yup figured it out. It was the tractor protection valve, cost me all of about $140 installed to fix. I kept my valve and took it apart and it was filled with sand.. Oh joy I wonder what else could have sand in it!?

if your handy there is a simple battery charger circuit that can be made from a run capacitor and diode, which will charge and de-sulfate the batteries on an LMTV. It's a high volatge low amperage charger so it takes a few days to charge dead batteries.

There is another thread that describes the bracketry.

I tried to get the truck inspected and they wouldn't pass it due to an air leak when the brake pedal is depressed. I've tracked it down to one of the valves (the right one if sitting in the drivers seat) that has 3 air hoses going to it above the rear axle. Odd thing is that both of my...

the existing 3116 can be hopped up, first step is the 295 hp found in the 5 tons, which is a turbo change, and then you can go to 350+ with marine injectors and a larger turbo.

I bought two M1078's and got two clean Florida titles.

I'm down here in Corpus Christi but don't hold that against me!

Well i gone and done it. The wife wanted a truck.. So I bought two M1978's. His and hers. They showed up on a flat bed a few days ago and I'm pumped. Not sure what I'm going to do with 1 9 ton truck let alone two, but what the heck, anything worth doing is worth overdoing X2. Both were...

They showed up last night..

The later trucks demand a premium as do the 6X6's.

Thanks guys I ended up picking up 2 LMTVs a 1995 and a 1996, both with a tad over 11000 miles. I hope to get them at the shop soon as see how bad I screwed myself.. My buddy who picked the 95 up got it running, but all electrics are dead.. I'm hoping it's attributed to the missing alternator...

That's a shame.. Maybe I'll start collecting armored parts..

Well i went and done it.. I always wanted a deuce and a half but ended up with a 1995 M1078, with 11,000 miles. I have yet to see it but am already drooling at the things I can do to it and with it. None the less I got a few questions.. Regarding axles, i know they are Meritor axles, does...

You going to pick up that wreck in CT?

Don't the LMTV's have a 3116?

I bid on that truck, decided the cost to get it back to Texas was more than what one from Texas would cost. Great buy!
