    LMTV Air Conditioner

    Thanks for posting this Scott. Is this from the A1P1 TM? Item 15 from the illustration is available, and it appears to fit the 3116 (see my earlier post with pictures).

    LMTV M1078 Tachometer

    Welcome LMTVJunky. Steelsoldiers is turning into the go-to resource for FMTV troubleshooting, and your contributions are welcomed! Try to post lots of pics and civi-equivalent part numbers. Dig around in the "P" suffix TM's, you will be able to determine if the winch trucks had a different...

    TornadoGT's M977 "Name TBD" Mods

    TornadoGT, is this sitting at TX-RSMS? Did they go through it?

    1957 deuce engine swap, axle ratio change, lowering unit and extending cab

    No axle gear sets other than stock are available. The 302 is governed at 3400 RPMs and it takes all of that to get the 135 moving at 58 mph. Gonna take a lot of overdrive to keep the Cat alive at 80 mph you seek. GMCs with bad engines can be had for a lot less in the US.

    Disgusted with Cat 7155

    Holy thread resurrection Batman! Have I owned my 916 for 6 years now? Actually I have come to like the 7155, as opposed to my thread title. JRM917, to swap it out will require a donor truck in a wrecking yard that is equipped with the 855 CID Cummins, and the transmission you want. Grab the...

    Old Willys..Military.

    No torque specs are given in TM9-1804B Power Train M38 for the Dana 25 front axle pinion nut. So I would tighten it to 100 ft-lbs.

    LMTV Air Conditioner

    Here is the drivers side bracket we seem to be getting wrapped around the axle about. Guys, this is the biggest mystery facing FMTV-dom, so lets work together to get cool air! I had posted this in another thread. The bracket is not the only thing needed (by far) to make the interior console work.

    Suprman, I thought you posted having the other A/C compressor bracket that fits on the drivers side of the 3116?

    Stuck Frame Bolts

    I don't think so Suprman, I recall the factory having a huge torque gun hanging from a balancer at the frame assy station, with the employees handling it from outside the frame.

    Stuck Frame Bolts

    I have not needed to disassemble my LMTV, but I know the frame attachment fasteners on the M915 truck takes a 3/4 drive impact wrench to loosen.

    Hydraulics Question

    If you keep the new cylinder's bores similar to the present ones, you should get about the same amount of force. Larger bores will give you greater force. Either way, you will need to enlarge your reservoir at the pump to store the additional fluid needed for longer or larger cylinders.

    Scrapping ALERT: Somebody Save This Rare Truck

    The box is "dirty aluminum" which is not worth much either. I looked into buying it a while back but man it is in the middle of nowhere.

    CUCV M1031 - Generator issue

    Try searching the forum using keyword "SECM". Member b4thundr has upgrade components available.

    Transfer case issue?

    Your transfer is fine. It is equipped with a inter-axle differential which allows the front and rear axles to spin at different speeds when cornering. With the front axle disconnected, the front output spins free. HL is the "Lock" position that couples the front and rear axles together.

    LDS swap. Who has done it?

    On my LDS I used the oil pickup lines from a LD and the bellhousing. I just turned the oil pan 180 degrees, and did not have to mess with the oil pump. You will also need the power steering pump blank off cover from the LD. What can get tricky is that there were several types of front engine...

    LMTV Traction on Soft Ground

    I had the misfortune today to drive the LMTV on an area of ground I thought would be just fine to drive on. The pictures tell the story. The unloaded but heavy LMTV (L, really??) pushed the MVTs 12" or more into the wet ground. I had the Allison in "mode" and as the sinking in got worse I...

    M1088 M1078 axle difference

    The axle ratios are the same as are the transmission ratios. MTV has more horses though.
