I’ve continued to work on and drive my M1078. I’ve put a little over 1200 miles on it so far. I installed an interior ceiling and an LED interior light. I also installed a stereo system complete with two 6.5 inch speakers an amp and a 12 inch subwoofer. I’ve made a few other additions and I have...

Why don’t you see more trucks coming out of service with the CTIS Wheel covers installed? We’re they not a popular item when the trucks were in service?

The Alternator on my 5 Ton failed on Sunday so I ordered a Delco replacement and a bracket to make it fit correctly. It’s killing me to have them both not able to be driven at the moment I hate relying on my civilian pickup.

I did purchase some Volvo handles and they do fit very well. I also found a vendor that’s parting a truck out and I purchased the stock interior door handles from them. I have extras now but I don’t think this will be my last FMTV so I like having spares. I’ve been working on her (My wife calls...

My kids love the truck.

Being as this is my first LMTV are all the bed side sections interchangeable including the tailgate? I have a couple sections that have three hinges and a few that only have two. I’m getting the impression I have a miss match of bed sides and tail gate.

I had a set of LED headlights I’d originally purchased for my 5 Ton they were off brand units from Amazon they’ll except voltage from 10vdc-30vdc. Before I got them installed in the 5 Ton my wife surprised me with a set of Truck-lite Military LED headlights so I still had the Amazon set in my...

I’m making a list of items that I need to get the truck totally road worthy. If you guys have any of the following items let me know. I may pull the front driveline and get it rebuilt it has a little slop in the slip yoke. My goal for this truck is making it one of my daily drivers. I’ll use...

I have the Hawkers in my garage charging right now so far they have all taken a charge and they appear to be fine. I agree about putting them back in. I won’t have to fabricate new battery hold downs if I run the Hawkers and they are probably much better batteries.

For comparison sake I find the LMTV to be a bit bouncy like almost excessively so. My M923A2 is a completely different animal. The LMTV interior is much more modern than my 5 Ton. I’m pretty excited to have the LMTV running and driving. I payed $4000 for it and I put about $550 into getting it...

I bought a non runner.... 1998 M1078 So I took a gamble and I bid on a 1998 M1078 that was listed as non running. I could see from the pictures it needed work on the drivers door and it had some minor cosmetic issues. I called and asked if the GovPlanet rep would please cage the brakes so the...

Thanks for the advice. I bought a NAPA Part# ST88 and installed it. The truck started on the first push of the button.

I bought a 1998 M1078 that’s a non-runner I replaced the batteries I’ve check all the fluids and replaced all the circuit breakers with fuses. I get a click from the relay in the fuse panel but I got nothing from the starter. I used the hand jack and I got the cab tilted forward and I’ve found...
