    There is a crossover reference matrix in the TM. I don’t remember exactly where I saw it but it’s there. If I get a chance this weekend I’ll look if no one has it by then.

    Can Someone tell me the difference. LMTV FMTV

    Personally I have a 1078 and a 1083 and am seriously contemplating removing the intermediate axle on the 5 ton with a 1078 rear suspension. I will never have the load density in the longer bed to need the full suspension capacity. As far as I could tell I would need - suspension, and a new drive...

    M1078 bed blueprints

    Driving with front drive shaft Disconnected

    Short answer is no. The transfer case is basically an open differential until you press “mode” which hard locks the power distribution 50/50 front to rear. The reason it won’t move with the front drive “disconnected “ or removed without putting the trans in “mode”. The drawback is putting it in...

    Couldn't get 5-ton started on the trailer.

    Not trying to kick a dead horse but knowledge is power. “If” the truck had been aired up-1 the spring brakes would release and you would have 2-3 brake applications of air left to unload 2-caging the brakes does not inhibit service brakes IF the truck has an air source.

    Joined the club with an 18,000lb paperweight this week.

    Yep those are what I used. Only mod is you have to open the hole in the door panel just a touch. You’ll see what I mean when you get them.
