    LMTV foot brake / treadle valve rebuild kit

    I rebuilt my spare but I haven't used it yet. Seemed like everything was correct when I compared the new parts to the old.

    3116 turbo upgrade ??

    Ya they are water cooled, my understanding is that you can simply not use them or just splice onto the coolant system with a tee

    3116 turbo upgrade ??

    I haven't made any progress at all, I need to find a shop that would do the tuning but haven't had any luck. I wish there was a write up on how to dial in the fuel mixture after installing a different turbo, but i haven't found anything. If i make any progress with it I'll let you know.

    LMTV foot brake / treadle valve rebuild kit

    I finally found a rebuild kit that works for the foot brake / treadle valve. I ordered it from Europe and it had everything to rebuild the valve. The part number is GK43082

    3116 turbo upgrade ??

    I do not know but I purchased the turbo that I had asked about and it appears that it would bolt up, the gasket matches and the intake and exhaust are the same. I haven't hooked it up yet since I do not know how to adjust the fuel properly, if anyone does or has a recommendation that would be...

    3116 turbo upgrade ??

    Sorry for the ebay link but here are the specs and I was wanting to know if this unit would be plug and play besides the fuel adjustment or if any other mods would be required to fit the turbo. I know the 6x6 turbo will work but they seem to be harder to come by and for 500$ this seems like a...

    3116 turbo upgrade ??

    The turbo part number for the 3126 is 4R8915 and they don't offer a rebuild kit for it anymore. I might end up going that route and getting one from an 6x6 but was just exploring other options and cost$$.

    3116 turbo upgrade ??

    I found this on ebay and was wondering if anyone could tell if it would work for the 3116. It says they are for the 3126B or C7 motor, the nsn # 2950-01-518-3535. If anyone knows what to look for to be able and verify if it would work that would be helpful. Thanks in advance EBAY LINK REMOVED

    I think I have located a part number and will verify once it arrives, CP750N, it says freightliner but is for 2.5 ton Rockwell axles

    Part number for U-Joint in the front axle shaft ???

    I have searched the TM manuals and the only number I could find is the entire axle shaft not just the U-joint. I have searched steel soldiers and can only find the drive shaft u-joints. If anyone knows the part number for the axle shaft u-joint on an LMTV that would be very helpful. Thank You

    I finally got it registered and titled after several trips to the tax office. The last trip I had to the tax office I had the Florida Title and the inspection paperwork, no problem at all.

    LMTV rear brake chambers

    I have developed a leaking rear brake chamber and need to replace just the diaphragm. I have found only one post that lists the size being a type 9 for the service and a type 12 for the parking. I have called a few truck service centers and they don't carry those sizes. Also while looking...

    98 LMTV registration in TX????

    Thanks for the reassurance, I'll have to go either find another office or change their minds. Any recommendations on insurance companies in Texas for the truck, since it will probably be commercial or RV?

    98 LMTV registration in TX????

    I recently purchased my first military vehicle, a M1079. I got it hauled to a buddy's property and got mostly everything going on it. Now is the problem, I have looked and looked but cant find much on registering an FMTV under 25 years old in Texas. I just went down to the Tax office to...
