    Cab Latch / Latching plate

    I had to find a suitable replacement and cut a thick washer from a horse stall mat.

    Mobile Shelter Info Needed

    On your S280 was the entire structure aluminum or is the lower section (forklift location) steel?

    Mobile Shelter Info Needed

    Dug up a little info…seems like these are also aluminum framed and that side wall is completely removable for configuring with an additional shelter. I thought having that side removable would make for a nice custom slide out possibly.

    Mobile Shelter Info Needed

    Anyone have any experience with these particular Gichner Mobile Shelters (GMS 1008B)? I’m curious about material, weight, and if that one side is a removable wall or expandable? I can’t find much info online and the GP posting/data plate pics suck.

    Mav’s M1088A1 Conversion

    I would have to look into it a little more but pretty sure I traced the wire tag back to the ether system. It’s been a few months though so…

    Mav’s M1088A1 Conversion

    Yes it’s a thermistor which senses coolant temp to inhibit the cold start ether system above a certain temperature. Here is the link to one sold for the 3116 which I highly doubt a different part number was used for the 3126. Last I checked several months ago I couldn’t find one in stock but may...

    The official 2023 Southeast Military Vehicle Rally buy-sell-trade thread (the event formerly known as the Georgia Rally).

    Sounds great! I sent you a message with my cell if you want to shoot me a text and we can work out the details.

    The official 2023 Southeast Military Vehicle Rally buy-sell-trade thread (the event formerly known as the Georgia Rally).

    Well dang that would be killer! I live in Hughesville but can meet somewhere along your route North if needed. Also depends on @wheelspinner schedule as well.

    Still looking for an LMTV fuel tank with sending unit if anyone is able to bring one to the rally. I don’t need the mounting brackets.

    Hey @simp5782 just making sure you’ll be going to the rally with a tank? I sent you a message but haven’t heard back. It’s a decent trip for me so just want to make sure before I head out.

    Calculating CG and roll-center height

    It may be possible to modify this program to do the calculations for leaf spring suspension and multiple axles as well. Either way MATLAB is more than capable of this.

    Calculating CG and roll-center height

    MathWorks provides a ton of useful software for engineering like MATLAB which some of you may be familiar with. I happen to have access to it and came across this particular application if anyone would like to know the CG and roll-center height for their modified MVs.

    removing trailer air on an m1088

    I’m assuming you’re talking about deleting the 5th wheel gladhands since it’s a 1088. If so I’ve done this along with the rear glad hands with no problems. If I’m not mistaken the service and emergency lines angled upward in the center of your pic go to the 5th wheel gladhands. Just remove those...

    Questions about house batteries - M1083A0 with a 17ft Winnebago on the back

    Worth noting that LiFePO4 batts should not be charged below freezing. I work with this battery chemistry a lot in HF communication systems and even my charger I have for them has a temp sensor so to inhibit charging when ambient temp is below 32 deg.

    VSN or MFG Serial No. for Registration?

    Everything that I read beforehand pointed towards the SF97 being the safest and when I called the tag office before purchasing they said yeah won’t be a problem but then I got the reassignment letter and everything changed. Guess I should have just went the title route from the beginning.

    VSN or MFG Serial No. for Registration?

    They’re so contradicting saying they accept SF97s but not one with a notarized letter transferring it to me (basically a bill of sale). I refuse to believe I’m the first one trying to get a title from a transferred SF97 from Richie Bros. I’m headed back to Maryland today actually so going to...
