    Gov Planet small HMMWV parts and shipping

    I bought a tiny part of Gov Planet for my HMMWV. basically its a light control panel and weights less than a pound. The Gov Planet certified shipper gave me a shipping estimate of $250 - yes for this one single part. I bought many vehicles from the site in the past and used large shippers fro...

    LMTV Air Conditioner

    Getting close to finishing. My the latest issue is the routing of high pressure line. How would you route the high-pressure line from the compressor to the condenser? Photos would be great!! Thanks in Advance

    LMTV Air Conditioner

    Many thanks! This will save me a lot of time. I will see about finding some shimms... Immediately I thought of another question....I have the 3116 engine, so I am guessing you mean I need shimms for the bracket on my 3116 engine?

    LMTV Air Conditioner

    While installing an A/C (all parts included kit) set up for an LMTV, I have gone this far and the tensioner pulley is not sitting right. Not sure what I did wrong. It seems to be too short. Any ideas? Photos attached. Thanks in advance!

    AIr system leak, Rear gladhand this time

    Make sure you don't seal off the glad-hands too tightly, they are supposed to leak a little bit. If they are completely sealed, your brakes will lock up and you are not going anywhere. Learned that the hard way and from one of those comic book style maintenance bulletins...

    HIMARS cab on a M1078

    I have one of those cabs. Ended up stripping it, as it was missing the doors. What did cross my mind at one point though was to use an FMTV dumpster, put a HIMARS cab on it...do you see where I am going? Yeah, a Himars clone/mock up. Now that would be a one of a kind.

    Caiman MRAP guidance on activating all the chassis systems.

    That would be incorrect. There is an operators manual and two service/parts TM's. I can provide the numbers if you want, but good luck finding them.

    Air Drop trucks. Dumb questions

    I have both trucks. The LVAD is the same as the MTV, with a different cab and different set up to lower the spare (kind of a small crane), which is also used to fit the top of the cab. Thats it. My LVAD even has a winch. I would think the A/C set up would be the same for any of the trucks, just...

    Registering a LMTV in California

    I only use my a couple times per year. In this case, your best bet is to get a one trip permit at the DMV. it covers round trips and is only $20. usually they hand it to you blank.

    Caiman mrap ecm/ecu

    Question: On a CAT II Caiman Mrap with a CAT C9 engine, would the CAT ECM/ECU for a "C9" engine work on this truck of is there something different about the one for the MRAP? We have a CAIMAN without an ECU. Thanks in advance

    FMTV Armor plates

    What kind of steel was used on the earlier FMTV armor kits? It's definitely steel. I suppose if nobody knows, then what would be the best combination of strength vs. weight when choosing steel? I am recreating a few panels and I want them to be functionally accurate as well as provide the look...

    TM for changning FMTV/LMTV/MTV Cab?

    I am quite sure one of the TM's has a section on how to change the cab on an FMTV. I just cannot find it after pouring though many of the TM's. Does anybody know what TM has this information? Thanks in advance!

    LMTV Air Conditioner

    If anybody wants some of the AC units, I still have 4 or 5 from last year, when I bought them for the LTAS and MRAP. These are extras and brand new and fit as a direct replacement in the FMTV/LMTV
