    Alternative Rims-Tires

    Would definitely fit as long as they are budd (lug centric) wheels. Just need to make sure you don't lose too much ground speed with a smaller tire.

    15.5r20 michelin tires

    I probably wouldn't try it. I have heard they may have a different bead style by @simp5782. My preferred method is run $250 395 tires on all my tires and they are much newer than the 14.00s

    M1070 dump truck conversion

    I have heard that the m1070 isnt a great platform for a dump truck due to the air suspension. MTVR would do nicely.

    How long can I go after Alternator stops working w/four 12v batts? and diagnising/fixing 200amp hummer alt on LMTV

    I tried to limp my truck home on low voltage and screwed something up with my transmission when the converter unlocked from the controller losing power going up a hill in 6th. Don't recommend

    All 6 tires airing down

    Its a main supply line for air to the ctis I belive. Mine started leaking so I plugged the hole. If you have 4 lights flashing on the controller simply hit runflat mode and it will bypass the fault. If all 5 are flashing there is an electrical problem in the system. If there are 5 lights solid...

    FMTV CTIS Wheel Valve Assembly Rebuild How-to

    Not a bad Idea. Have you tried metric fittings? I know that I needed a metric adapter to go from the ctis wheel valve to JIC to be able to make a hose on the hub side.

    Service manual? What are all these teal stickers on every part?

    Lots of people use the 505 tune and they seem to have good success. Your TIM module on the firewall is probably fried.

    Service manual? What are all these teal stickers on every part?

    Your going to have to take a hard look as I stated earlier if the metal housing on the top front part of the transfer case will clear the cab mounts/ cab. From forums I have read there may not be enough space for it...

    Service manual? What are all these teal stickers on every part?

    I have not seen these labels before. My guess is it was a training truck that mechanics used to familiarize themselves with the platform. As for service manuals they are currently not available to the public. Even if they were they are only accessible via a special software which is only...

    Service manual? What are all these teal stickers on every part?

    1.27 or 1.28 is the ratio of the stock MTVR Oshkosh 30000 transfer case. With the Oshkosh 55000 I was looking at had a .98 or .96 overdrive (in the classifieds). That would bring your "transmission ratio" to .6272 from .82. I was looking at a top speed of 83.83 mph at 2000 rpm. At 1200 rpm...
