    FMTV A1 computerized manual + others

    I have an extra charger and can order the batts. You need to find a good working miltope laptop with hard drive caddy. It will take a regular laptop drive but the caddy seems to be miltope specific. The newer the better. A lot of them look the same. The one I am using is 2009 I believe. I have...

    FMTV A1 computerized manual + others

    Couple hundred. Took about a year to compile everything. Miltope software auto installed on the miltope laptop. It didnt like a basic Dell. It came up with an error box that said this is not a Miltope laptop. I have not tried the manuals disc on anything else.

    The plastic top seems to warp slightly over time leaving a slight gap between the top and bottom on some units.

    LMTV air/brake problems

    Fleetpride usually has the parts at one days time availability. I'm spoiled I keep parts trucks around so when most things brake I have the parts to swap out.

    Veritread poor service

    It is offered by GP at checkout and gives the outward appearance of more than just simple partnership. A business like that needs a straight set of rules instead I got "we just put you guys together and however business is done has nothing to do with us" from Veritread. Maybe GP should rethink...

    FMTV with Shelter, which model?

    Cant be any worse than driving a van truck with that thing in the bed. You will want to sand, seal and paint that before dropping it in. And you will want some type of solar powered air circulation.

    change from 100 amp altermator to 60

    Some of the M939 100a alternators have a separate regulator. Sometimes mounted on the firewall or wheel well area. I have had the regulator go bad, water can seep into it.

    LMTV air/brake problems

    There is troubleshooting flow charts in the TM but the tractor valve is a likely culprit. There are several diaphragms in it, the rebuild kit has them all I believe. I speak with alot of lmtv owners. All of the trucks that sat unused for a period of time, especially in a hot climate seem to have...

    LMTV air/brake problems

    Leaking all over is usually indicative of the tractor valve needing rebuild.

    M1088 tractor with 5th wheel removed pics

    I might have an extra one but it's a little bent. A lot of parts are hard to come by since these trucks are still in current service.

    M1088 tractor with 5th wheel removed pics

    Lmtvs have hydraulic lowering spare tire. New one comes down and the old one goes back up. More pics.

    M1088 tractor with 5th wheel removed pics

    I have a good running m1083 winch truck. Just waiting on GP for a title. Bed comes off easy and you could recoup some funds by selling the bed. Nice to have the 2 way winch setup they don't come along too often.

    Big impact. They are made not to come off.

    Veritread poor service

    I posted a few gens at different locations on Veritread. There is an automatic post option at GP checkout. One gen in PA, first reasonable bid the shipper wanted to be paid with a bank wire transfer only, before he would even discuss scheduling. Next reasonable bid I asked the shipped if any...

    How were the driveshafts/u joints removed? Hammered out or removed with a correct puller tool?
