    What's the longest box you can mount on M1078 bed?

    I agree with Chucky. I wouldn't go over 14' w/o relocating the spare and air intake (16' if you did relocate).

    Are you relocating the spare/air intake?

    Anyone swap out their steering wheel?

    If you are really set on wireless, there are some stupid expensive ways to go. But again, I'm not a fan personally. https://www.pegasusautoracing.com/productdetails.asp?RecId=27707

    Anyone swap out their steering wheel?

    Here's a simple concept to add buttons to a wheel. Basically just add something with holes.

    Anyone swap out their steering wheel?

    I'm a retired IT system admin and one thing has never changed. If you can avoid wireless in *any* situation, then you hard-wire it. Wireless presents all sorts of failure and interference problems (dead battery, lost signal, device not connected, yada, yada). Wire it and be done with it. For...

    M1088 with 4 (Four) leads into the battery box

    That is how my 98 and 94 trucks are. My 2008 only has one 24v in, but the other trucks had one extra 24v lead. But *absolutely* do as Mario suggests and meter out the leads. Be a pity to fry some of the expensive bits.

    Will CTIS Protectors mount to a Hutchinson aluminum wheel?

    Did you make these work? Just curious if you had to extend the stand-offs or anything.

    Have you installed 3.07 gears in your truck? Kindly step in I have something to ask

    Have you installed 3.07 gears in your truck? Kindly step in I have something to ask

    He's in this discussion. I can't hurt to ask him. I don't have the info.

    Have you installed 3.07 gears in your truck? Kindly step in I have something to ask

    I'd say Reworked who picked up three pumpkins for $2000 is off to a good start. Remember, these things sold for scrap for like $80 a pop plus freight. The installation was not mentioned when I told him that he did *not* get wallet raped... ;)

    Anyone swap out their steering wheel?

    It's on my to-do list. I was told on here that it couldn't be done. If you've ever peeked up the steering column from under the cab, you see that it most certainly can be done. I've built plenty of off-road cars back in the day. You can run a steering column pretty much anywhere you want on...

    FMTV Allison 3070 Transmission - Code 4627 Overcurrent, A-High Solenoid Circuit

    Following My '94 M1078 is tossing 44 12 as well. It may be a couple weeks before I can start troubleshooting.

    Can I Cap Off Cab Airbags?

    The good news is that you can get a rebuild kit for the hydraulic pump for about $70 (it may be less, the Facebook LMTV FMTV Military Trucks group has a link in their knowledge base to the kit or just ask someone on there if they can point you in the right direction). I think it's still sold by...

    Can I Cap Off Cab Airbags?

    Yes, but then I still get a leak that appears to coming from the back of the switch at the control panel. I should have mentioned that part. I suspect the either the switch is buggered as well or there is a break in the line in. I never had to mess with air ride issues on my first truck, and...

    Can I Cap Off Cab Airbags?

    Both bags are blown on the '94 that just followed me home. I'll be fabricating the solution later, but for now I just want to cap them off/bypass. Any tips on where best to tackle it (just quick and dirty)? Can I just kill the feed at the switch in the panel or loop something?

    Cab squeaking is going to drive me insane...

    1994 M1078 Transmission

    Rgr that. Yeah, I spent some time hanging around a transmission repair shop back in the 90's. I know enough about automatics transmissions to know I'm not going to attempt a rebuild if it's played submarine. Way above my pay grade. But after I get some new fuel lines on it I will know more...

    1994 M1078 Transmission

    Won't know for a few days. Have to fix a fuel leak then see why it's stuck in "Mode". That didn't worry me a bit, until I saw some indication of moister in the trans (milky dipstick). I suspect the clutch packs are mush.

    1994 M1078 Transmission

    Thanks. Yeah, this is a 94 A0 so pretty early as well. Heh
