Got a new toy for myself. M1088A1 with a 3126. TX truck so no rust. These east coast trucks are hit or miss in the rust dept. Needs a few little things here and there nothing major. First mod was the air dryer. There is a noticeable difference in power between the M1088 and the A1 truck. Gotta...

Hoping someone has some knowledge of this engine. I have a Drash generator it has an Isuzu 4LE1 PV-02 engine. Its an earlier model around 1999 I believe, with the 4 individual injection pumps on the fuel rail and the solenoid/speed control to the left. The fuel rail will not move to the left and...

I don't know about other wrecker owners but I can't lift heavy weight without putting the side legs down to brace. Otherwise the rear tires give and the back of the truck comes down. There has been discussion previously about the wrecker having a higher highway pressure setting. I found all the...

FMTV computer diag Finally works. Had to get the computer one place, batts another and charger yet another. Have the basic Miltope O/S (which will only properly install on the Miltope laptop), different usb and serial interfaces with various connectors from ICE kits I have bought over the...

I posted a few gens at different locations on Veritread. There is an automatic post option at GP checkout. One gen in PA, first reasonable bid the shipper wanted to be paid with a bank wire transfer only, before he would even discuss scheduling. Next reasonable bid I asked the shipped if any...

I have one small box of switches at OKC. I was wondering if anyone was headed there soon. You could probably just tape the box closed or dump into a flat rate box either way I could send a shipping label for it. Will atpawnking dotcom thanks Will

I have a small box of switches at OKC maybe 14 inch box 15kbs. Anyone going that way in the next week or so. They would drop in a flat rate box and I could send a label or tape the box closed and I could do a ground label. Will atpawnking dotcom. Thanks Will

I was bidding tonite the close time was only getting bumped up 5 min instead of the usual 15 min. Something to watch if your not paying attention a listing could end before you realize it.

I have noticed GL has been doubling up on many listings, I see something interesting and put it on my watch list. Then down a bit or on the next page I come across the same item listing. Not another listing of the same item the same listing item number already on my watch list. Like they are...

The humvees appear to be making their way all over the place especially Europe. The seller here didn't even take the GP bumper sticker off.

I have a M1083 truck with a brake/air issue. Not quite my area of expertise and I could not find my specific issue in the TM troubleshooting. The brakes do function and the truck can be driven, but when I step on the brake pedal, air flows out the front blue service air gladhand at a decent...

Here are some pics I thought I would share. This truck was in a convoy that had to stop quick. This truck hit the back of the truck in front of it. The impact was a bit offset towards the passenger side. Not sure about how fast they were traveling when it happened. Both driver and passenger had...

The fan clutch bolts seem to have a bad habit of coming loose. You have to air-to-release the clutch and you can rotate it to access the bolts. The fan clutch can come apart and throw the fan and front of clutch assembly. Its not pretty I have seen it twice in the last few months. One person...

I have a truckload pickup in the next few weeks coming from Lockborne going to Stratford CT I95 X32 around 20 miles from the CT/NY border. I have someone who can pick up from the GL warehouses and hold pallets till then. It's 50 for him to pick up your pallet and around 100 per pallet to get it...

There has been talk of repurposing lmtv tractors for other use. Here are some pics with the 5th wheel and mount plate removed. You can see the rear shock upper mounts are on the back ramps and there is a plate on each side of the frame coming up a bit. Once could build up a few inches with some...

I won a 98 M1088 out of NY yesterday. I have not got it back yet but the pics show a newer gen single digit keypad and a trans computer where the vim module is located on the first gen lmtv trucks. Anyone have any insight into this? It said trans wont engage in the listing it could be something...

I have a small gen trailer at Gaston SC I was wondering if someone could pull it out for me and hold it for a few weeks till I can find a transport up to CT. Will atpawnking dotcom. Thanks Will

Just got back from the Orange CT country fair truck pull. The M1078 really performed. I was surprised I didn't think it was as capable as it is. I pulled 31k lbs of concrete on a sled on dirt and I could have done more. That was all the weight they have at the pull. To all the lmtv haters out...

Just got in delivered today it was missing the doors top and windshield. Probably because they were armored. A friend helped me put it back together with a few parts here and there. I am planning on making it all 383 green.

I broke the cable at the end where it meets the hook. It looks like a combination of some of the strands broke and some just pulled out. The truck is a pretty recent rebuild it looks like it wasn't put together properly to begin with. Either way I need to fix it. I found a previous thread...
