    Making a 4x4 from a 6x6 ?

    Its all wheel drive 30 front 70 percent rear. Both rears are linked via driveshaft same as m939 trucks. Mode on the trans control will give you 50 50 and lock the center diff forcing both driveshafts to turn at the same speed.

    Disable the CTIS?

    The ctis is basically the same system as the m939a2 trucks have. The flappers are rubber and they age and dont seal well, moisture will corrode the valves metal body over time and the flap cant get a good seal. Chemicals sprayed in will cause damage. Best way to help the ctis stay working is...

    Need Assistance with LMTV in Jacksonville, FL

    Interesting. You can jump the 24v positive from the fuel solenoid and go to the regulator 24v contact to make the alt work.

    M1078/M1079 for overland camper?

    I think they rev up to 2400 rpms that's pretty safe for the motor. I have done highway stints at 57 without issue. I would think you would get better mpg with higher gears if you could do 57 at say 2000 rpms. The truck does weigh 17k and you loose some mpg with the awd system.

    LMTV My Custom Switch Pod

    15k is higher rated, heavier cable. It may be physically larger I haven't measured though. I have a 5 ton winch truck on hand if someone wants to measure their 10k winch.

    Making a 4x4 from a 6x6 ?

    The center axle has a offset geared input and output. I don't see any point in bobbing a 6x6 truck when the 4x4 version is widely available. There is a lot more air brake stuff going on in the lmtv compared to the m939 trucks. The 4x4 trucks have pretty clear lower frame rails of you wanted to...

    Question - assistance converting air park/emergency valves to single unit

    I have seen the push in fittings used on commercial vehicles before. I said the same thing "how can that be reliable" but it is they are used all over.

    LMTV My Custom Switch Pod

    I have had several winch trucks. The 5 ton has the 15k winch the 2.5 ton trucks are a 10k winch. Its a nice setup so you can winch both ways. The pto is engaged with a dash switch and its supposed to lock out the trans so you cant put the truck in drive although I never tried.

    Dan's M1081 Pick-up and Build

    WTEC3 on these trucks will have a single digit display and in place of the vim module (hanging down in your truck) will be a trans ecu. So its supposed to be blank. Did the engine start?

    New here... bunch of LMTV questions.

    The 2 part numbers are currently unavailable from the manufacturers and on the surplus market there are none available.

    Without that puller you would have been there a while. The light switch is a standard mil one like pretty much every other truck. Not all the fuse and relay locations are used. You can use regular blade fuses in a pinch.

    New here... bunch of LMTV questions.

    The numbers were provided by the first Eaton rep. He then referred me to the correct department who stated they were never produced for the military. It is my understanding some did exist at one time. Maybe not for the military but for the civ version of the lmtv truck that was sold as an...

    Interesting M1078 Cab Hydraulic Problem

    Maybe in one of the higher number tech manuals. There may be a repair flowchart for your issue in the tm. Maybe some dirt or something end up causing a partial clog. Maybe you can flush the system.

    The old plate won't mount up with the 2 valves on it?
