Hello, I don't know whether the neighbor's cat was up under the cab or if it was just time for it to break, but when I started up Mad Max this AM I heard a slapping sound after a few seconds. I hand pumped the cab tilt to access the power pac, but the only thing I can find is a black hose...
This is an original acquired out of Poland. Materials, hardware and workmanship is probably late 90s, early 2000s London Bridge Trading out of Virginia Beach. This one looks like it will fit both the molded kevlar Ballistic Products Seats as well as the High Backs. 1000d Cordura nylon...
I just figured out why I FVBARed the hydraulic lines to the Control Manifold when I changed it out: The 24&P Manual is showing two different lines going to the same socket on the backside.
Figure 256 shows the Spare Tire lower hydr line going to Pilot and Suspension Compress
Figure 252 shows...
Found this ebay auction for cheap 3/$3.00 (+$3.50 First Class) Grommet, Non-Metallic NSN 5235-01-375-1299 Part No 12417598, which mounts the washer fluid pump to the reservoir tank. I saw these for as much as $35 each online, won't name the vendor.
Has anybody installed radioset in the LMTV FMTV family of vehicles? Is it as simple as plugging the CX-13450/VRC Power Cable onto the Circuit Breaker Panel from underneath?
My truck has the RAWLs power cable installed but not the SINCGARS power. The cable I am looking at has a while plastic...
Like it says, the TM says to do it one way but its not the most efficient, turning a wrench 30deg at a time to remove hose fittings, and that is when you have room for the wrench. Humungous block of aluminum to mill on, and the fittings have to be so close the flare nut wrench can't fit...
New to me 1994 M1081 LVAD (and I'm new to LMTV only drove M35s in 90s), no fault lites with warm up. I press "D" once but can only get it to go 10mph. I tried manually arrowing up the gears but No Joy. When I press "D" once I get the "7" in the left indicator box and "2" in the right. What...
Finally retiring to FL on 19th. I have a M1081/M1078 LMTV in Brownsville, PA I need to have moved to Navarre to be delivered after Mar 20th. Pickup and delivery flexible. Truck runs on its own power. Delivery is residential on a paved road (or gravel around the corner if you prefer)
While laying about recovering from back surgery, I found this RT-1523C-type trainer radio demil housing on ebay:
The faceplate is accurate, with 3D molded features instead of laser engraved onto alu plate markings. The 30ohm Antenna Mount is face, easy fix, the HUB battery cover is molded...
Can anybody identify this removable type antenna base mount? Looks like it is for some kind of military shelter or telescoping roof truck box. This non-standard application is an M1081 LVAD cab.
When I ETSed we were just starting to get the first SINCGARS. A big leap forward, running two 1439Cs vs an RT-524 and an RT-442 Aux and having to switch back and forth the freqs on the radio and aux to be able to take fire missions from FISTers and Rifle Plts.
Anyhooo, modern VRC systems are...
OK, yeah, shoulda thought about that first, eh? The -10 is showing a width of 8ft, length 20ft 11in, height 9ft 4in.
M1081 with the cab roof removed and windshield folded down, the max height isn't too much a factor other than having to duck.
Width: -10 states 8ft. Now is that exact...
Between Harvey last week and Irma inbound this week, it has me thinking about buying a MEP-803A for use during post hurricane recovery ops until the power grid comes back on in Ft Walton Beach.
Hello,
While checking into the Air Drop procedures to collapse the cab for hauling it, I found an NSN 3940-01-469-9939 for the Sling Set, Multiple Leg, used to remove the Cab Roof. I've only found a sketch of it no photos.
Does somebody have one they can photograph and measure the...
Source has a few door glass but no windshields on hand, they will run more if we meet a min qty TBD. Everything is OEM glass. The door glass have the bracket for the door regulator, $136.16each FOB. I'm waiting on MOQ and price on windshields.
Is there anyway to hook up two LS-671 extension speakers with the CX cables for use as a quasi intercom system in an LMTV?
I have an idea to make a dummy RT-1523E from a cast aluminum faceplate, plus either a neutered RT-1439, TRI faux PRC-117F or ICOM IC 7200 (if can even find one in stock)...
Yeah, I know, quite a ways to haul it but no way I can drive it that far.
Hauling M1081 LVAD "Animal Muthah" From Brownsville PA 15417 to Ft Walton Beach FL 32547.
Good news is, the cab can knock down for lower height, less drag.
At least this trip avoids I95.
