    CARA is a 1998 M1079. She doesn’t have a tachometer. Is there a way to add one?

    1998 M1079 alignment, mirrors

    The arms and the mirrors move. I like the idea of an additional support strut.

    1998 M1079 alignment, mirrors

    The steering wheel on my M1079 has about a 20 degree roataion to it as I drive straight. The truck drives well, just steering wheel rotated. Any suggestions on how to align the monster front end? The mirrors are constantly being blown into different positions rendering them useless. What have...

    What have you done to your FMTV or LMTV today

    I'm the Medical Director for the Goodyear Proving Grounds here. They worked a sweetheart deal for me. I've overseen their first responders and taught Stop the Bleed courses for them for five years without reimbursement.

    What have you done to your FMTV or LMTV today

    Apparently CARA has a zombie CTIS controller. The CTIS controller on CARA (1998 M1079) has always flashed all five lights as soon as the engine was started. Since I installed the MWM air dryer replacement the CTIS has come back to life and is working perfectly. I'm sure glad I didn't buy the...

    Who's running dynamic tire balancing beads?

    Do you know if anyone has used the driveshaft balancers on a FMTV?

    They are brand new. CARA has four 2008 and one 2005 tires that appear brand new with whiskers and no evidence of dry rot; however, I do not feel safe riding on them. The price of the new tires is less than my funeral would cost.

    What have you done to your FMTV or LMTV today

    I converted CARA (1998 M1079) from four to two batteries. Installed replacement MWM air dryer. New tires arrived today. I’m awaiting O-rings to service CTIS when I mount them.

    Rear and Side Mounted Cameras

    I've seen several pics of cab interiors that have multicam video displays of rear and side views. Given my mirrors tendency to rotate so I get excellent views of my door, does anyone have experience with brands that work well and/or brands to avoid?

    260 amp alternator

    My 1998 M1079 with a 2013 box has the stock four battery 12 / 24 volt configuration. What is gained by changing to a single voltage system? What is lost? I plan on putting solar on the roof. Does 12 vs 24 volt solar have advantages / disadvantages. Thanks in advance,

    E There is about 1/4” of what appears to be rubber in the rectangular cup. Not as thick as what you show in your pic. I think the more material in the cup the less the habitat can safely flex on the frame.

    What have you done to your FMTV or LMTV today

    I wondered why the spare tire lift on my 1998 M1079 would not lower the tire. It appears that the lift was too high when the new box was put on in 2013. I had to lift the box about 2" to be able to get the lift in proper position. It worked perfectly after repositioning. Also replaced Oil Line...
