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...
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
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...
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!
I am putting a tarp and bows on my LMTV. It's the later style so the bows are all multi-piece that click together like camping tent poles (instead of the older one piece).
I got the poles together with no problem. I also got the tarp/cover on.
I just cannot figure out how to secure the tarp...
I am having a **** of a time finding a regular old shipper who will pick up my small items from Lowborn and ship them to SOCAL 92626. Any referrals would be appreciated!!!!!!
First does anybody know the TM numbers for the for the Oshkosh or BAE LTAS cab FMTV?
I am also looking for a TMN or parts lost for the LSAC Cab LMTV. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
Thanks in advance
HI,
Does the MK-48 have a CTIS system?
I have an MK-48 FPU (2007 depot rebuild). I am not clear if it has CTIS for tire inflation and cannot discern from the specs. It's not such a big deal to me, but I am trying to sell it and the potential buyer wants to know and I do not have an answer...
Does anybody know of a SOURCE for LMTV door windows? Are there other trucks that use the same window? I am trying to avoid getting a custom made window, but that may be the only choice.
Thanks in Advance.
My wheel hoses are like rocks. Maybe painted 30 times, who knows. One leaks. I would like to replace them all. Does anybody have a source for these hoses? They must be common on some other trucks too.
Thanks!
The truck was working fine. Then all of a suddenm, the brakes or parking brake are stuck on. The truck will go into gear and it tries to move, but seems held down. Every once in a while if I mess with the air brake engage knob, the brakes will get released and the truck can roll forward...
All that I have been able to find are troop seat kits of the M1078 LMTV.
Does anybody have or know where to find a kit or the parts to make a set for the M1083 MTV or M1093 LVAD? The bed is longer, so it requires three large seats and one small single seat per side.
Thanks!
So, I started upgrading the LVAD lights to LED. i took out some Trucklite military LED lights and began as usual, to disconnect the old and reconnect the new. However, the numbers on the wires did not match the new unit. I turned over the housing of the old unit and in yellow letters it was...
I am embarking on a new project and I have given myself a drew weeks to finish it. I have all the parts, minus the bots and washers that I will need to order.
Basically, I am taking my M1151 HMMWV (minus the basic armor) and adding the basic armor. See the pics. Notice it has wheel well armor...
The floor pan on my LVAD is rusted out and needs to be replaced. I am pretty sure I will not find another one. I am guessing somebody has made one for a military truck before and I am hoping I can learn how to do it myself. I bought some galvanized steel, not I just need to figure out how to...
I have some small truck parts (about 300 pounds) to ship from OK to SOCAL.
What is the best way to do this? I know I could call a freight company, but I am interested in alternatives too.
Thank for your help
I found several threads on this subject, but I need very recent information, so I will ask again.
I am in California, where everything with MV's is a pain in the rear (but can be done). I used to title my trucks through a registration service in ARIZONA, because all they needed was the SF97 and...
There are several other threads out there with this topic, but none seem to nail down the answer definitively.
I am looking of the correct font (family name) for modern military vehicles such as the FMTV and HMMWv. I have a new stencil cutting machine and am itching to use it.
Please help.
