I've used the SRW on my M1081 a number of times - skidding cut logs up a steep incline, moving a 40' CONEX shipping container, pull a M-35 from a snowed-in pasture, pulling itself out of mud, and out of a snow bank. The logs were single-pull, the others required dual-lines via a snatch block at...

Wait - just because it's on display doesn't mean that you can talk about it! :roll: I've worked in some areas that even though they're acknowledged, I can't say anything :whistle: But good on you for getting the opportunity and helping out! Hope you got a good deal out of the truck!

Opening a connection on the engine head? Should work, as you said you got fuel out when using the primer bulb. Same as pulling the bolt on the big filter mount. The filter mount bolt allows complete filling of the filters, there still should be fuel remaining in the high pressure pump. Maybe...

All lots of good preventative maintenance. Now, stupid question: Did you bleed the fuel system after replacing the lines and filters? There's a bolt on the top of the fuel filter housing (-24P, Figure 33, Part 2) that you should loosen nearly completely when pumping the primer bulb on top of the...

From the other recent driveshaft posting: My M1081 had the supposed modified drive shafts. Ran fine down the road but I wasn't convinced all was well. When I bought the truck, the bolts on the bracket between the air compressor and the power steering pump were missing, as were the bolts for the...

My M1081 had the supposed modified drive shafts. Ran fine down the road but I wasn't convinced all was well. When I bought the truck, the bolts on the bracket between the air compressor and the power steering pump were missing, as were the bolts for the alternator. Less than 12,000 miles on the...

Because: Without a trailer, "Hauling Ass" requires two trips... Besides, the truck won't be jealous of you buying the trailer, whereas a wife would be jealous if you got a girlfriend (well, most anyway).

IMHO, the main difference between the WTEC II and WTEC III is the controller and keypad, not anything internal to the transmission itself. That being said, wiring is different, but not functionality. Other than having a newer transmission and control system, you aren't gaining anything specific...

I think I see what they did! By pulling the plug on the end cover, they were able to use a bolt into the end of the drive shaft to retain it (or push it into the center diff housing). The drive shaft is independent of the bearing and hub assembly, and only rides in bearings and the splines into...

Sorry, mine were faded and unreadable. Big problem would be cinching down the band clamps to prevent the bag leaking. Upper clamp is exposed and a worm gear clamp would probably work, but the lower clamp rides inside the air bag and any exposed points would probably wear a hole on the folded...

Just want to say "Thanks" for the pics and info on the air bag/shock rebuild. I just pulled the assemblies on my M1081 today and disassembled same. Bushing for top of both shocks was gone, rattled around in the air bag assembly. I'm shocked. One shock had lost all of its oil too. Replaced...

Nevada Day Parade 2019, Carson City Everybody loves a parade, amiright? The Military Vehicle Preservation Society here in Western Nevada participated in the Nevada Day Parade in Carson City on Saturday. My LMTV was the largest vehicle in the MVPA section, and almost the newest. Was an excellent...

Somewhere in SS there's some postings I did several years ago, similar problem with my CTIS. Wound up rebuilding the manifold under the dash using new seals, but I believe that the problem was caused by the pressure transducer that plugs into the manifold. There's no way to test it, but it's an...

Last year I had my LMTV trucked from Maryland to Colorado for about $3k by United States of Freight, the load was shared with another large vehicle (armored car). They're an advertiser on this forum. As for drive shafts, I had both of mine rebuilt for about $1200 earlier this year based on...

Thanks so much for the info. Makes searching for the uprated turbo much easier with the generic market part number, not the NSN.

Three-part harmony going there?

good idea, will give it a shot.

OK, favor to ask: I only have a 225 hp 3116 in my 1998 M1081. I'd love to know what the Cat part is for the 290 hp turbo and governor but don't have a serial number to reference. Can you provide those two part numbers, the turbo and the governor for a 290 hp 3116? Thanks much!

Honda Civic SI seats from a junkyard. Custom brackets from right angle steel and unistrut. Totally comfortable on and off-road.

Coincidental with my little burg of Fallon, NV having a 9/11 memorial event yesterday, an unnamed alternative to SS (no names but the initials are MVPA) was holding a cross-country expedition. The expedition was the 100th anniversary of a military cross-country drive in 1919. About 50 mil...
