Assuming that the black part in the lower-left corner of the photo is the steering box, and all the lines, fittings, and valves are under the driver's side of the cab, under where their feet would be, then the switch should be the low pressure transmitter. From the TM -365-24P, Figure 154, part...

One of the branches twisted open an air tank drain petcock. I could hear the air leak and pressure was slowly dropping on the gauge. Realized there was a leak, I was worried I'd ripped open a CTIS line. But was just the petcock. Quick and easy to find and fix.

Heh. You can bust through trees and do some pretty impressive dirt embankments in an LMTV. A modified Suzuki Samurai had just blitzed down the embankment, through the trees and back up to the road. Goliath (M1081) just bulldozed through them. At the end of the video, you hear an air leak and I'm...

Good info on the actual temps and hose requirements. And absolutely right on flare vs. JIC. I got lazy and forgot the differences...

Seems that the air dryer for the M1081 is mounted different from the standard LMTV. The threads here show the old and new filters mounting directly to the frame. The old finned filter is removed and the new one mounted using a notched universal mounting plate. Reuse the original hoses only...

I had my M1081 shipped from Maryland to Colorado when I moved there. The M1081 was titled and registered in Maryland for on-road use. Colorado reciprocated, and I had it titled and registered in Colorado Springs. Since moving from Colorado to Nevada, I did the same thing, and Goliath is now a...

I can confirm from experience, you can get an LMTV stuck in snow. During the March blizzard in Colorado, I got my M1081 stuck twice. First time I tried to punch through three feet of snow drift. It was well-packed and after skimming the surface for a few feet, the weight dropped the front into...

Sounds like we've covered some territory very close by. I'm new to the area though, am spending more time farther north along Hwy 50. But would like to explore more near Walker Lake as well. I was looking, there's Cotton Wood Canyon trail that meanders quite a way west from the town of Walker...

Last weekend: About 2000' climb from the highway to a remote cabin outside Hawthorne Army Depot, NV. Goliath (my M1081) did fabulously on the climb up the dirt road. My buddy's F350, not so good, overheated (cracked radiator).

Very nice rig - not only the upgrade lights, but also a nice newer-style grill in the front. I can see one reason it's not a runner: the rear drive shaft disassembled in the cab. First thing I'd find a good truck driveline shop and take the shaft down for rebuild. Probably do the front as well...

I bought a locking fuel cap from Those Military Guys (see the Classified section in the forums). Locking Fuel Cap for M939 and M35A3 Military Trucks. Is available in several colors. Does not require welding, it has a toothed pawl that grips the inside of the filler neck when you tighten down the...

I can tell you from experience, that's a strong chain that attaches the filter basket to the fuel tank cap. I've got a locking cap on my LMTV. Opened the cap with keys in the cap. Filled the tank, replaced the hose, drove off. Drove 60+ miles including some dirt road, till I got to my stopping...

Two place I know of for drive shaft repair or rebuild in the Maryland area: In Lorton, VA, just outside DC off I-95 is Driveline Services, aka Drive Line Specialists (https://www.drivelinespecialist.com). I've had multiple custom driveshafts done there. It's an old shop that does lots of...

The LMTV TM for the A0 models, the -365-20-3, section 11.2, shows a manual adjuster for the front shoes. Like any old car with drum brakes, the adjuster provides a preload in the shoe-to-drum distance. The automatic adjuster completes the rest. Seeing how badly the fronts were set up on my...

And as teasers, pictures (no particular order): Fruita, CO (first overnight) Somewhere, western CO Somewhere, central CO Somewhere, central CO Last day, Cold Springs, NV - SNOW! Family photo, Colorado Springs, CO Buddy's M-35, an M-35 he is restoring, and Goliath Your intrepid road...

OK, survived the road trip from Colorado to Nevada, 1000+ miles, across I-70 and US Hwy 50 - a.k.a. America's Loneliest Highway. No failures!!! Some fantastic scenery not normally observed. Of notes on the drive: Fuel gauge sticks at times, drops 1/8 of a tank after jumping for 15 minutes...

I’ll post results in a few days. I’ve got the higher pressure transducer in my M1081. Am leaving Colorado Springs tomorrow morning headed to Reno Nevada driving the truck, pulling my 5500lb zombie emergency response vehicle (HMMWV kit on suburban chassis)

Well, I think it was an M900-series, may have been a 5-ton. It was going the other way, both of us doing about 50mph. I had about <-----> that long to look at it without hitting another vehicle or driving off the highway. But it had something like a modified Airstream mounted in the bed. The...

I just saw an M9xx on Hwy 50 this weekend outside Fallon, had a camper mounted on the bed, pulling a trailer. Couldn't get turned around to chase down though. Can't wait to get my M1081 and my Zombie Outbreak Response Vehicle out here in a couple of months. Do some real exploring! Corvettes...

snowtrac, I'm gonna thread-jack for a moment, or you can PM me if you like. I'd like a few more horses on my M1081 A0 225HP 3116. How much is safe to tweak the rack for more power, and would adding the turbo from a 275 or 290HP model be easier? Both? Thx...
