The rear glad hands are free & clear as I tested them Saturday afternoon. The air dryer was working great a few weeks ago, purging every 4 or 5 minutes, dumping water out till everything cleared out. I guess I will check on the compressor unloader kit @ the same time I look up replacements of...

In another thread, guys were saying with the airbags actuated & you shut off the truck, the airbags deflate for 10-15 seconds, then stop. This is what mine are doing, so I'll guess that my bags are not leaking, which is great news. All the brakes are not releasing still, so there is more...

I found the leak that started last weekend. The drivers side air leveling bag is leaking, but you can't hear it till you shut off the truck with full air in the system. Rear brakes guage shows half way between 90 & 120 or about 105psi. Before the airbag started leaking, the pressure was 120 &...

I have also paid sales tax on everything I purchased thru GL or GP on every auction or buy it now stuff (1) in many states. When you bring it home & have to register it, they want their taxes too!

I went to my credit union as WU had horrendous fees for the entire transfer amount. My CU charged me $25.00 for the entire ordeal. I did have to go back twice as the clerk could not figure out how to do it the first time around!

I found that out on my last truck purchase. Pay $5000.00 on the CC (paid off that week)& wire transfer the rest, easy & clean. The much smaller wire transfer went thru in 24 hours or less, they issue my release & its recovery time! Originally, it was understood that the entire amount had to be a...

Mine used to smoke when I ran wmo in it, but it caused it to not run smoothly. Now with straight diesel & a little TCW3 for injector lube, she only smokes when you really get into the injectors with a heavy load or going up hill!

SF-97, Bill of Sale or Titles are my issues with GovPlanet. The only wire transfer I did went smoothly! Probably a Fluke...........

My Deuce says maybe, or maybe not; the LMTV says who are you kidding. My civy truck says no problem, so we shall see! That's a long trip from Gainesville, Florida for an un escorted ex military truck!

Under the truck again, results in the tractor protection valve being removed, all parts repaired & replaced. Upon starting the truck, both air pressure guages went to 110 -120 psi, the stop light indicator went out, the air drier started purging & the front/ rear brakes released like they are...

I have one & would use it to tow my Deuce or LMTV with no worries, anything bigger would make me use the medium Oskosh towbar for my peace of mind.

Just like the last poster replied, most of your replaceable brake parts are commercial & not too expensive & you don't have to use DOT 5 brake fluid on these trucks ;). I am finishing up my brake repairs on my LMTV as of yesterday got everything working for less than $100.00!

My A/C install consists only of replacing the center console with a new A/C-heater unit from surplus since mine is loose from the firewall & non functional. The army mechanics were looking for gold coins in the dash; upon not finding any, they trashed the dash sheet metal & left it that way...

LMTV Head Lights Voltage We have been thru this before with other LMTV owners, but I had to replace @ least one headlamp since it was cracked in half when I received it. Listening to the current owners told me that voltage of the lamps was 12vdc instead of 24vdc like regular trucks, so I...

That last post is a bit unsettling from a very new member, to now an ex member!

Have any of you guys have had issues getting your Florida title for your LMTV's? I won my truck on 20 April 2016, had it delivered 27 April 2016. I applied for the title on 23 May 2016 not understanding the total process that you have to fill out the paperwork & fax it into GP after the sale. I...

I wondered why the fuel tank paint looked so good where the diesel spilled on it, thanks for the update!

When connected to a genset, you want full governed speed all the time. Any other application, the throttle has a low/high lock that lets you chose what speed you want the engine to run @. Make sure your linkage is free to allow the speed to be dropped down to 700-800 rpm! The lock is a flat...

Change all three fuel filters to eliminate that roadblock! These filters will sometimes look like they were used to filter rusty pond water from the bottom of the pond. Clean fuel, clean filters, good pump pressure (some run without a functioning intank Pump) & you should be able to enjoy...

Nice looking set of new babies shoes! You aren't wasting any time!
