    My First LMTV - M1078 A1 - Fluid Questions

    I haven't had much time to drive or work on it the last couple months (work is taking priority). And, no I haven't drained it yet, but bought the oil and filter to change it this weekend. Wow - I haven't considered it may have something other than engine oil in it. That's scary! Thanks for...

    My First LMTV - M1078 A1 - Fluid Questions

    I appreciate the conformation this is correct. I wasn't positive of the breakout of the tanks responsibilities - this helps me understand the air sys better. I can't find the source of the leak. I am considering cleaning everything up, drying the surfaces out and mounting cameras under the...

    My First LMTV - M1078 A1 - Fluid Questions

    I'm mobile, so sorry for the abbreviated reply. No winch. Working on her right now.. Engine oil was low, just topped off with Mobil Delvac 15w-40. Tranny low, don't have the fluid to top off. Thanks for the fluid info. Want to do full flush of everything (that should require it) and fill...

    Hello all! I'm pretty stoked to get my M1078 on the road and have done a ton of reading here on the forum - great bunch of folks! I have been going through the TMs and also been through the LMTV quick parts reference sheet. In the reference sheet it states: Steering: 5 quarts hydro fluid or...
