    What have you done to your FMTV or LMTV today

    Well since the cooler weather is coming thought since I do not use the 1088 I would let it hibernate. Charged up the batteries, toped off fuel tank to the least amount of expansion level left in the tank plus plastic bags taped off on exhaust and intake. Sleep little one sleep and dream of What...

    Happy fricking 4th. Got up early before it got to hot and pulled rear rear shaft on the 1088. My data plate has the extra D stamp but they did not balance my front or rear rear propeller shaft. O well what else is new with the former MV's as in got to check everything somebody else did. One...

    You say left it out. Looks like I see some of the thrust bearing and thrust washer. You think someone just did not put grease on both to make them stick to the hub on install?

    Finished up my OFFROAD ONLY exhaust. Almost sounds like a real truck now.

    Had the front propeller shaft balanced and new U joints. Couple of tricks to make it go a little easer when by yourself. One is I use this cable master lock to hold up one end of the shaft because I do not have a helper. You can adjust it looser or tighter real quick to get the shaft level so...

    Replaced my primary fuel filter to engine fuel line. Was told to make sure it was diesel rated fuel line so drove to Ocala. Nice day for a 30 mile drive.

    What did I do to my MTV today. Had a very light coat of the black tar / taffy starting to gather in the fuel tank. Pumped the tank down adding it to the Deuce. Drained the last four gallons into a five gallon bucket and put the bottom plug back in. Added 18 gallons of E85 and will let it sit a...

    What have you done to your FMTV or LMTV today

    So did you make it out of that slop by yourself. I have a mud pit here in my town that gathers lots of people and they do run a big loader to help people out. My worry is the clean up that might take days to get all the mud cleaned out of the nooks and crannies of the 1088. My local mud pit is...

    I pushed back 300 feet of old rotten wood and lots of shavings to the edge of my property line with a track skid steer. Then used the 1088 as a roller and smashed the stuff to flatten it out. Did a great job by the way.

    To much trouble to set up the plasma cutter, why waist the air and gas with the fire wrench when the truck can inflect pain / damage. Son left me with a piece of junk car that needs to get cut up and sent to the scrap yard. So easy one M1088 and a chain.
