    Pressure at gladhands?

    I've been searching the google and this forum trying to find the answer to "what is the air pressure coming off the gladhands" but can't find any info. My intent is to find out if there is enough flow off the emergency line to run an impact hammer capable of moving the lugnuts. Thanks!

    Torque multiplier wrench for lugnuts?

    Is a torque multiplier wrench something that would work for a tirechange kit? Something like this: https://tinyurl.com/y9s65x9b Considering the alternative is a massive pneumatic driver with gladhand adapters…

    Fully loaded LMTV bed, thoughts?

    I know the LMTV (1078) is rated for 2.5 tons/5000 lbs cargo, but it's got room for 6 pallets in back. Would it break stuff driving on-road with 6 full tons in the back? I ask out of practicality-- I bought this truck for farm use and would like to use it to haul feed. Thanks!

    LMTV radiator fan stuck

    My LMTV radiator fan is stuck in the "engaged" setting, not sure where to begin troubleshooting so hopefully I can get started with a few questions for those who know these things better than I do. I'm guessing one of two things-- either the clutch is stuck or there is something borked...

    Oxidized chalky CARC

    Is there a way to refresh the surface of CARC that has been baking in the sun for 20 years? Maybe it needs some kind of chemical or oil treatment, I dunno, but it's very chalky and I'd like to touch up some of the paint. Thing is, fresh paint against the chalky stuff is going to look like crap...

    FL LMTV insurance and process in Florida

    Got my LMTV finally right after the holidays, took the government forever to demil it (purchased in March!), because they were not convinced that I had enough space on my 20 acre farm to park it. Your tax dollars at work! Finding insurance was a PITA, took me several weeks, but I finally found a...

    MEP1040 control box

    My MEP1040 stopped working. Totally dead, despite battery power. Cold crank works fine but won't start. Nothing seems to come on in the control panel. I opened it up and it had THAT SMELL™ of unhappy burnt electrical components. Cursory look over everything and I did not see what is fried, just...

    MEP1040 fuel tank sender?

    Fuel level sensor in my MEP1040 is psychotic. Does not prevent use but is annoying. I have not yet taken it out but from what I've read they are mostly crap anyways and a lot of units shipped with garbage sensors. Is there a general purpose replacement part I can order or somewhere that stocks...

    Noob greetings from central Florida

    Wildwood specifically. Been lurking and reading up on things but TLDR we're moving to rural life and I've been stocking up on plenty of govt surplus for the farm. Just bought an LMTV and will be tinkering aplenty.
