    Dropsides are aluminum and light. One handed use. Much nicer than the old m939 bed sides.

    Working on the M1078 LMTV

    Forklifting basically ruins the truck. You would have to get new driveshafts, new yokes and pinions on the tcase and the axle plus who knows what else could be damaged. Very easy to crack a t case or trans casing. Once a lmtv is forklifted under the driveshafts its a parts truck.

    M923a2 clanking grinding noise from under cab? Transfer case or U joint?

    The bed sides and racks shift and clunk around when driving. The bed itself can shift a bit also. The m939 frame has alot more flex than one would think from just looking at it.

    FMTV Air Hydraulic Unit Repair

    It has been my experience with multiple trucks that when the pump seal is failing the unit will blow hydraulic fluid out the vent in clearly visible puffs. Good pump units will not have any visible puffing when standing at the hyd control. The pumps seem to have a high failure rate in general.

    Newbe 931a2 ctis

    The m939a2 system is first gen and requires the proper maintenance to be reliable. Improperly sealed o rings or old leaky wheel valves cause flat tires. Not the system itself. Moisture gets into the wheels because the air dryers arent properly serviced and its all down hill from there. The...

    LMTV M1078 Tachometer

    The troubleshooting tm states which pins to check if there is a problem with the tach that should be a good starting reference.

    M939 transmission problem

    Drop the pan change the filter, change the spin on filter and see how it all looks. If it was me I would see what the Allison dealer has to say. Might be something simple that can be repaired from the pan area.

    3 phase 208 help

    That heater may just use the 3 legs and a ground. I have one of those it makes a good load bank. It will draw a bit more than listed and the mil generators don't always trip on over current right away. That kind of load can damage a 10kw gen at full draw for too long.

    They are nice seats. I sliced the base plate off of the original seat, bolted the plate back in. Put the air ride seat in, adjusted it till it was just right, marked the base, took it all out and welded the base plate to the seat base and bolted it right in. Air can be tapped under the truck I...
