look close at your MTV truck. Note that portion of the transmission sites above the upper chassis rail. To clear the transmission you will need either a third chassis rail.... or put a dog house in you box to hump over it; if the floor plan allows for it.

you will find more info on mechanical side of things in the FMTV forum on this board. Pretty sure their is a thread or two on removing the second trans cooler. Thing someone even layed it down between frame rails and kept it.

there is numerous threads in here on this. Searching them out and reviewing them will give you some hints on the needed socket sizes. This will help lead you to buying a kit that happens to include all or most of the socket sizes you need. Usually I think there are three sockets in the kits.

should be able to make ones from parts of ones for hummer. seen them on ebay

could. just cut access door for camper door to swing open.. or drop the side with added chains to form a slight deck.

found my old post on this describing it better https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/ramdough-cab-modifications-build-thread.203839/post-2372605

was able to modify my A0 door limiter to work good again. Issue on mine seemed to be that one end could slide up over head of bolt (something like that. dont recall exactly).. allowing arm to come out of slide.... and even if not come "all" the way out... still open to far and hit cab...

not sure why your even making something of that.... never said he was.... only said with two trucks now.... he has that option to consider now; more so than he did previously. He is always updating/improving stuff.

absolutely and fairly easily. Just copy M1079.... 99% of the parts are already under the bed.

no cracked frames to see.... they were built properly and boxes put on them with this in mind. There is I think only four or five solid boxes on LMTV's out there right now... but only about 4 years?? at most of minimal use..... time will tell... Id expect damage not to show up till 10+ years...

Maybe am thinking German boxes.... thought it was s280 too..... dont they mount with a tie down chain that has a spring or similar item somewhere along the bar, chain, or cable that allows for some flex? Word I got is a retired engineer that was part of the design for M1079 when in...

ignore me....... wont let me delete

these chassis medium duty (with a little more strength than average) / like most all medium duty chassis are made to occasionaly haul heavy loads. These also with ruff terrain in mind. But that is NOT all the time loads and that is not loads that are solid (aka they haul bunch of heavy...

@87cr250r they don't make Cardian joints for rigs this big unless they are specialized..... which is anti the plan for military trucks to be mostly off the shelf commercial parts.. Think the high pinion axle..... was how they compensated for that reality.

will see if he changes bed route. Think he has two trucks now so he does not HAVE to keep the bed. In past he had too remove it cause truck was also used for business. (plowing)

check your batteries...... as in you must have solid good 24v into bats AND back out or your transmission will do odd things. Also it may need to re-learn shifting. oh... and thanks for searching first...... That is the right thing to do though TomTime has a point on quoting someone in an...

ahhhhhhh..... so like Ronmars description of a pinched line.. that repair that would in many instances be fine/but not here...... ended up changing the pressure and causing valve to dump.

nice mount mod. question for us that do not have ability to machine this nicely.... what about just cutting across the bottom with sawzall then use grinder to compete the mod. Essentualy just removing the area in the red rectangle and grind small notch to final align hole in the alt's rear...

or too many scums used the Vermont process for stolen vehicles thusly ruining it for good folk. The good get punished..... the bad just go abuse the system some other way..... some other place
