Rgrob, I purchased my LMTV from a private party and still ended up having a few major issues, fortunately I have the tools and space to do my own repairs and for me thats part of the fun. I live close to you (Plain City) , if you want to visit some time I would be happy to show you my truck and...

Happy New Year JonM934! Thanks for the quick reply and clear explanation of how it works, Regarding the water freezing I found some caps (Velvac) with a rubber cover over the key opening, based on your feedback this seems like a necessity. Thanks, Mike

Nice addition to the truck. I want to add a locking cap to my M1078 but couldn’t see how the cam keeps the cap secure. How does the cap lock to the tank? I don’t see a flange on the filler neck for the cam to catch on? Thanks in advance for the info.

The cut down hub holds the spider gears in the hub similar to what is shown in your picture. You rotate the hub so one of the spider gears is at the 6 o clock position and use a dial indicator with the plunger against the gear tooth to measure the lash. You rotate the spider gear to take up the...

Coachgeo, I have been following your M1078 build with interest. Sorry I can't help with the Transmission question. I am interested in the M1079 box when you are ready to sell and fortunately I am somewhat local. Send me a PM with details.

gimpyrobb please post some pictures and pm me a price as I am interested in more airflow

I removed mine with no problem with nothing else removed except the defrost defuser that sits on either side.

I didn’t see anything in the TM. I first rolled down the window and then pulled out the rubber glass channel. I next drilled out the rivets holding the metal channel in and the screws at the bottom and then removed the metal channel Next unbolt the glass and pull up and out.

Toby, I tried to PM you your inbox is full.

Can be purchased from Eriks Military Surplus part number VS-1090- ALT

A standard size schrader valve will screw directly into the end of the valve stem on the LMTV. The adapter you show is for a large bore valve stem which is not used on a LMTV. MRAP rims do have the bigger valve stem. The LMTV CTIS elbow will not fit these.

Looks great, when I did mine I turned a piece of aluminum down and added a handle. I may have to make a 3d printer one of my next major purchases. What CAD software are you using?

As Coffey1 said first disconnect the hose at the joint closest to the elbow fitting and then unscrew CCW. The elbow seals to the valve stem with a small o ring.

I bought the shorter one and welded a piece of pipe on to extend as well.

This is all the further mine goes up as well, and my hydraulics are working fine. I believe the cab weight is over center at this point since the cab will not go down on it’s own until it lowered quite a bit from this point.

Here are the OE starter drawings.

I just bought new take off starter for $180 including shipping. Have seen them on the auction site recently for slightly more. Search for M0017703ME
