    CHUCKY'S TREE HOUSE !

    Well, there's an image out there on the web of Olive Oyl painted on a car with her butt as the gas cap and the nozzle being inserted... But it's not likely "forum appropriate". But you get it...

    LMTV Replacement Windshield Wiper Arms

    At the parts store w/o my truck. What length wiper blades do I need for the LMTV? I know two are one length, and one is different, but the Internet is just giving me NSN part numbers and these guys here have no way to match. Can someone save me a trip home?

    M1078 LMTV Fix-up Thread

    The seats are all stock LMTV seats. Pre-A1R have a metal plate under the seat, the A1R has no plate and won't smack your butt on every bounce). Not sure which he has here, but if they have a release lever they are the A0 style. If the have a release knob they are the A1R style. If you are...

    Just got a m1082 trailer. Brake question.

    Interestingly, it's not mentioned a lot in the TM. Only references I see off hand are in the brake troubleshooting (just to test for air pressure).

    The tag is usually hard to read, but "Push to release" "Pull to Set".

    Electric AC?

    With all these EV SUVs and trucks using electric compressors, the junk yards may soon offer very solid a/c solutions. I've been teething at the bit to get my electric a/c installed, but I have to get the cab latch rebuild done, the interior insulation and rear panel installed first, and the...

    What have you done to your FMTV or LMTV today

    No, they're pretty well tucked in. The longest one is still some 4" recessed within the cab. Sorry for the crappy pic, it's raining cat and dogs or I'd take a proper one.

    Newbie Alert! New LMTV in DFW

    Maybe I'm misunderstanding what he said, but if he's seeing no fluid in the reservoirs then that should point to air in the lines (and not fluid). No fluid, no pressure, no worky. Again, I'm assuming (which is bad) that "no dice" means no fluid in the tanks. Lets say that the system is only...

    Newbie Alert! New LMTV in DFW

    So no fluid in the reservoirs? Sounds like air in the line to me. Fill, cap, pump Fill, cap, pump Fill, cap, pump Focus on the manual pump first. You can even leave the cap off and hand pump. Watch the fluid level drop, top it off. If it starts puking oil as the fill hole, then cap it and...

    What have you done to your FMTV or LMTV today

    Nice Way more fun than the OEM horn. But I want to hook the OEM back up to another switch. The looks on people faces when they motion you to honk and you go "beep-beep" is hysterical. Then I can lay on the air to watch them jump... I've installed Vikings on my two trucks. I was able to...

    Newbie Alert! New LMTV in DFW

    No, not on the standard trucks. The 27 gal may be a winch truck with it's giant reservoir). A gallon should do you (but I usually pick up a spare to carry). And a ground pan to catch any discharge (a small kiddie pool was the cheapest I found). If there is a leak. what you add will often...
