Duct tape. A home made relay bypass 2 spade crimp terminals on a 6 or so inch wire. Spare wire. Zip ties. Lots of spare hose clamps.

Prices change weekly depending on supply and who is bidding.

The 5th wheel assembly is a few hundred pounds. If you strip off the decking and ladder maybe you can get it down 700lbs or so.

1078 has the bed which is pretty heavy. 1088 has the extra axle longer frame 5th wheel but no bed.

The front has 12v intervehicular port. The rear has 12v and 24v trailer light plugs. I believe they all have them.

In the back for trailer and in the front so another lmtv can tow and control its lights with an intervehicular cable. Although I have found the front connection is often unplugged behind the bumper.

4567 comes back to the 2.5ton truck. It's an old nsn replaced with 2520-01-519-2772.

What are the nsn's you found

If you throw enough money at anything it can usually be done. I personally prefer the less expensive route though. I do think a camper body could be installed on any of the cargo or tractor lmtv trucks relatively easily though. As long as you are not playing musical axles in the process that is.

They all look the same. Rockwell axletech and meritor are all the same company but at one time they all had separate part numbers for the same nsn axle. The middle axle has an geared assembly that brings the input and output up and towards the drivers side.

bump

There is a thread somewhere I had posted a pic of a M1088 after the 5th wheel was removed.

yup

I have them

Air dryer expello valve is stuck. Stick your finger in and push up. It will stick again though. Replace the dryer its cheaper than rebuilding it and the expello valve is replaced from inside.

Around the center metal nut piece with a hole. I have seen these with the metal housing significantly corroded though. The rubber flaps seem to go bad with age. There is a rebuild kit available though. I think it has a new flapper, spring, center metal piece and 4 new bolts to hold the valve...

I hacked up two M1088s for parts. Better than parting a M1078, gotta get parts somewhere.

Check make sure your release valves are clear.
