    Correct sir!

    4x4 vs 6x6

    Actually the M1079 uses a box that is specifically built to be directly attached to the frame of what would be a M1078 without the bed. A S-280 box is made to be placed in a M1078 bed and tied down. It will also fit in the bed of a M1083, M1082, M1095.

    Alum. Wheel for FMTV / M1078 ?

    If you look at the rim itself, the valve stem is in the same position as the steel rim. The stem is directly across from the hollow supply stud. The CTIS wheel valve is the same on these, the only difference being the change in the fitting that attaches to the stem itself. That changed in...

    Alum. Wheel for FMTV / M1078 ?

    The aluminium rims are set up for CTIS exactly as the steel ones are.

    Alum. Wheel for FMTV / M1078 ?

    Yes it is off a Caiman. They had the same axles as the M10XX's.

    M1088A1 CTIS pressure adjustment

    You could also replace the CTIS ecu with one from any other model. The M1088 and M1089 have the following pressure settings: Highway 81 psi, XC 54 psi, sand 32 psi, and emergency 24 psi. All other M10xx have Highway 60 psi, XC 37 psi, sand 22 psi, and emergency 16 psi.

    m1078 to A1 driveshaft parts source

    I have a 2005 M1088A1 with a C7 and still has the 3070 sp trans. I believe the 3700 sp was used in 2008 when BAE took over.

    M1078 Starts Then Stalls Immediately

    Actually the fuel is pushed through the filters under pressure. The only vacuum in the system occurs from the fuel pickup in the tank to the fuel pump. Replace all your fuel hoses to be on the safe side.

    6x6 Intermediate axle vent, sensor or???

    NDT has it. That is exactly what it is. When the trans is set into mode, air is supplied and the inter-axle diff lockout is actuated.

    FMTV A1 computerized manual + others

    Wow. I would like to get my hands on one of those setups.

    Nice, is that going on one of your A1's or the 3116? More boost? How much?

    FMTV exhaust gas recirculation?

    I believe it is used to remove the large particle debris taken in throught the air intake by way of vacumn generated as the exhaust passes by the pipe fitted into the exhaust pipe.

    Air ride seats ?

    Yes they are high but I like a high seat I'm 5'10" and they fit me great. Any taller and it would be a problem.

    Air ride seats ?

    They are Oshkosh P/N 3471939. Hemtt trucks M977, M893, M895, etc.

    Air ride seats ?

    Here are a few pics of the air seat in my truck. I got two but so far only installed the drivers side. The seats are pretty high backed and I think the passenger side back window would be blocked, so I haven't decided if I will install that one.

    Is this a investment ?

    This is the way I justified my buy: for the price you really get a lot of truck, the engineering is solid(except for a few gremlins). And at that price level it should not go down value. Most equipment if keep up reasonably well at some point no longer goes down in value. You can tell your...

    Are there any high mileage FMTVs?

    Nice video post Lmtv772. Kinda gets your blood pumping. Thanks.

    Dan's M1081 Pick-up and Build

    When I got my truck it had a burst return fuel line. Took both lines off and had them made up at my local Parker store. Cost me about $75. I would replace them both.

    Air ride seats ?

    I picked up a couple of HEMTT air seats at auction awhile back, and installed one in the driver spot and it fit good with just alittle modification to the mounting brackets. The stock seat for me was to low. I like a higher ride and the new seats have alot of adjustments. I will try to get...
