having had braced things that way before.... and had the brace slip right out nearly crushing me (thank god I moved fast)... I would not trust that. I can see the base won't move... cant see if the top would or not... pic is too dark... can't tell what it is.... which is where it moved in my...

NOPE... folk threw drive lines below 55 (w/out eco hubs)

there is a specific forum on this steelsoldiers discussion board for insurance that is broke down by state.... that is the best place for your questions/answers. FMTV folk IMHO, send insurance questions to that forum. That is a relatively new forum on this board.. so members here are not...

He mentioned in a reply a thanks to those who pointed out the Eco Hub issue. Supposedly Previous owner did that install and he was totally unaware.

Brcyce has I believe a non Asian country making them for him.. you honestly cant do better last time I got one from him.

makes logical sense..... and IMHO if locker was in rear axle; that set of tires would end up wearing the most, but having worn even more than what you have experienced. thus far. but that is only speculation and a debate for other threads on something like: "Which axle in a 6x6 for locker...

you can get that type Locker for around same or less from Bryce Wasielak. He has sold hundreds of them with out anyone having issues. You wont need one in both rear axles. one of them is fine. IMHO do the middle axle so you scrub tires less with it in the rear axle. Granted install in...

yup... this box https://midwestmilitaryequipment.com/replacement-gen-1-battery-disconnect-box-cover-for-lmtv-mtv/

one of the problems with the LBCD system is it does its magic by manipulating the relays (battery disconnects) located in the box attached to side of battery box. Well these are known to corrode, short out etc. Since your LSCD-ish thingy seems to be wired in similar to the LBCD.... maybe...

hmm.... going by nomenclature used as we know it: LBCD = Load Balance Control Device going by the schemeatic that seems to shows some sort of "sensing" purpose then you get LSCD = Load SENSING Control Device. ???

yep never hurts to ask..... nor does it hurt to have alternatives in mind

Should this thread be in the HMMV forum and not FMTV?

the solar question is better fitting to the RV camper conversion forum in here https://www.steelsoldiers.com/forums/rv-camper-conversion.176/

epoxy/braze orr?? a piece of sheet metal over where duck bill goes. Order largest duck bill you can find and drill the washer out to mount it.... or two duck bills that together would equal the apporx volume of the Red Dot one.

so far no one has spoke up on this. Its a relatively unknown product that seems stuck below the radar even though they have been out for a while now.

is that 25.x Volts; enough volts?? considering their is likely a reason OEM FMTV is 28.x volts.

good point. One is a 100w Halogen (was way less expensive than a heated LED to keep off snow when put it in 5+yrs ago)

Update about two batts use with no working alternator. If it gets much below 40f.... and your batts are not brand new..... you need all four to make it 60 miles. Seems ever 5 to 10 degrees it goes colder you loose a lot of voltage. On 20f days with two batts.... the 30 mile drive home in the 60...

eventually will get this done right..... which one(s) of these files should you download? I am running Linux Fedora.... and can use searchable PDF's .. but not sure which of these file(s) lets ya do that trick.
