  1. Third From Texas

    A0, A1, A1R and TM's

    Yeah, that's a later A1 . The A1R would have the giant coil-over front shocks and no air ride. So you're sort of in-between models there. Score on the C7 though. I bet it rides well w/o air ride. The only thing that makes the A1R's a bit stiffer is the coil over. Air ride is OK but lots of...

    M1078 fmtv ctis

    Might want to drain and save it, then. Diesel is good for a year w/o any Stable/SeaFoam/biocide treatment. Better than gasoline, but it has a shelf life running it thru a EFI system. Depending on the conditions, you start to run into all sorts of algae, etc. I'd certainly save it for flaming...

    CTIS wheel covers (CTIS Armor) - CAGE code?

    As far as problematic... I ran a set on my first truck and they are now on my M1079. Five years of daily driving and never had any problem.. The only issue I ever heard was that the holes to reach the valve stems don't always line up if you have the old style CTIS units on the wheels (I never...

    A1R Rear Cab Bushing Assembly

    Rgr all, thanks. I was able to use the pic that Alex posted (with the hokey pucks). He confirmed the order as what's on the drawing there. The whole process took 10 minutes to take down and reassemble. Amazed that the last time I inspected all the bushing, only one on the driver side had any...

    M1078 fmtv ctis

    How much diesel? I'd likely drain it if you suspect the vehicle sat with the fuel in it's tank for years. If the previous owner had been driving it, I wouldn't bother. Have you SEEN the price of that stuff????? (thanks a lot, Brandon) I wouldn't sweat the CTIS just yet. Lots of various...

    A0, A1, A1R and TM's

    If you look on GP (you can search sold items as well) you can see the three variants of the dash (A0, A1, A1R). They are each unique to the variant.

    Aftermarket CTIS covers for FMTVs

    Did he ever share the supplier? A TON of people asked him about them but all I ever saw returned was "PM sent"....

    Aftermarket CTIS covers for FMTVs

    Yep. They're funny like that. Searching FB from external sources has always be a bit dodgy.

    A1R Rear Cab Bushing Assembly

    Since my bushings took a hike (literally disintegrated) I'm not sure of the order of assembly. A1R so no TM.... I'm thinking this is correct but still playing with the puzzle pieces? *the cracked/old bnushing in the upper position was originally inverted, though Anyone with an A1R know?

    Cab Latch Rebuild

    Since my rear cab bushings (A1R truck) literally fell out in chunks last week, I'm tossing in some hokey pucks until proper bushing solution arrives. I've had a slight hydraulic fluid leak at the latch and have the o-ring kit to do the rebuild. I thought I had bookmarked a video on the...

    I had to look. I needed to raise the cab today anyway. LOL Mine is black

    Aftermarket CTIS covers for FMTVs

    The guy literally spammed the LMTV groups with those images (here's just two of the LMTV groupsd I'm in over there, I didn't look in the others I belong to). And when you ask for any detail, he says "PM sent" (but I don't use Messenger and my only FB account is a friendless marketing account...

    LMTV/FMTV Dump trucks - worth it?

    Seems like it was a operator warning to "never fill the bed more that 50% of capacity" or "never raise the bed more than 50% of potential" (something like that) due to a design flaw. I honestly don't recall but I remember thinking to myself that if I ever needed a dump truck to sure as hell not...

    !CLOSED! Cab Mount Group Buy. NEW OEM FMTV LMTV M1078, M1079, etc

    Rgr all.. Yeah, just hook me up with a complete set for the A1R (not the "3" that I posted).

    !CLOSED! Cab Mount Group Buy. NEW OEM FMTV LMTV M1078, M1079, etc

    OK, then my "3" is incorrect. I need three upper/three lower (ie: three pairs, not enough for three trucks). If I have to buy two "sets" to get the three pairs, that's fine...

    !CLOSED! Cab Mount Group Buy. NEW OEM FMTV LMTV M1078, M1079, etc

    Looking at the list, I see a lot of "1's" It makes me wonder if people confused pairs/sets with complete truck "sets". Seems like a lot of people only replacing one bushing pair.....

    LMTV/FMTV Dump trucks - worth it?

    Wasn't there some design flaw with the LMTV dump truck? I distinctly recall something about extreme limitations on something like load and dump angle.

    The dash on a C7 truck is unique. The engine itself will have the ACERT badge written across the top of the engine. Got any pics?

    I gave up hope. As General said theA1R is essentially the P2 w/o the armored cab and thus civilian taboo.
