    Can I ask a question about an auction that ended earlier this evening

    I was high bidder on an item that did not meet reserve and I never heard anything else from GL on it.

    M1088a1 issues

    Under the spare tire is a reverse protection relay it somehow senses and adjusts charging load. This piece can go on the fritz and odd charging system issues can arise. It looks like a battery isolator.

    28V 400A Niehoff alternator N1602-3 NOS

    I have a bunch of these Niehoff 400 amp 28 volt alternators. They are big you can see the tape measure in some of the pics. It weighs around 120lbs bare and just shy of 150 crated so it can go ups. 300 bucks each pp gifted to will atpawnking dotcom.

    Expandabile Van Drivability

    57mph maybe 60 downhill. The highways here in CT are horrible. Construction and bumps everywhere. With the tractor you bounce around its bone jarring. With the lmtv you just drive like you would a normal truck. No bouncing no bone jarring. The acceleration is better. The old school guys will...

    Expandabile Van Drivability

    The van truck has a lot of space. I really don't drive it much I am using mine for storage right now. I am a recent lmtv convert though so if I was going to make something small into a road going camper with some offroad capability I would do it to a lmtv truck. The ride is 5 times better than...

    Diagnostics port LMTV

    Speedo issues with trans shifting issues is more than likely the speed sensor at the bottom of the trans. Not an expensive fix. I hooked up the rda v3 and am able to see it in several programs connected to the truck but can't get any data as of yet. I have the Dana ctis program that says it...

    Expandabile Van Drivability

    With a rear view cam installed and some better convex mirrors they are easier to maneuver. Its not made to go fast you can feel side wind on the highway. The M931 tractor is by far easier to drive and park. With my M1078 I can do a u-turn in a wide road.

    M1088a1 issues

    The cat dealer near Bragg can plug in and diagnose. Have you gone thru the whole power breaker panel and verified everything is correct? Some of the A1 trucks have a single panel and some have individual boxes. I believe all of the A1 trucks gauges are driven thru the engine ecu canbus.

    Transmission inspection window?

    It is a drain and needs to be open unless you are fording water which you want the plug in so its closed.

    Can I ask a question about an auction that ended earlier this evening

    GL is up to no good because they are in terrible shape now that their main cash cow the truck contract is gone to GP. The gov surplus rules specifically state stuff has to be sold to the highest bidder. But they are putting reserves on items in an attempt to drive up prices. I have seen many...

    UK War & Peace show - LMTV parts!!

    Do you have pics of the folding windows? I was looking into cutting a slider window into the back of the cab. It looks like the cab was designed to have one there its marked out. Will

    Electrical issue on M923A2

    Is the fuel solenoid engaging when you turn power on? The only "kill switch" is to pull the emergency fuel cut.

    M923A2 Electrical Issues - No STart - No Power

    I am still not confident things are properly connected. Post a good pic of your battery box and read the TM's. The pcb is just 2 mechanical relays.

    M923A2 Electrical Issues - No STart - No Power

    24v positive and negative at the starter? Did you make sure the power cables didn't end up reversed at the batteries?

    Diagnostics port LMTV

    The rectangular diag port is J1708 it is older but not uncommon. There are readers of various caliber available online. I have to load up the software to my laptop and see if I can communicate with it.

    M923A2 Electrical Issues - No STart - No Power

    There is no electronic control unit. The pcb is just 2 relays. You need to make sure the wiring is connected properly. The big positive cable from the battery box goes right to the starter as does the ground. If you tried to apply power to the starter without engaging the throw out solenoid then...

    Transmission inspection window?

    I bet that's the bell housing drain and the plug goes in the hole prior to fording water. The m939 trucks have the same thing.

    Blow by

    Alot of trucks have a little bit its not abnormal. GP usually has a vid of the vent tube. If the engine sounds funny and you see strong pulses blowing out it could indicate a ring or piston issue though.

    Mounting a snow plow on a LMTV 1078 First Post

    Thats a neat idea. I see smaller plow trucks that weigh half of what the M1078 does and they do just fine. Plus you can drop tire pressure to the sand setting that works good in snow. Will
