Subscribed. I'm interested too. Do we have a cost and dates yet?

I'm guessing the rat deuce project is on hold whilst slow roasted pork BBQ aromas fill the air for summer travelers. Subscribed for updates!

X2! Wow, just wow. I think the dropped visor makes it look very aggressive. I like it. Hoping your rear steer axle alignment works out the issue.

I get this too. It is primarily the oil pressure gauge. I may wheel it out in the sun and open the panel tomorrow. It will be a good time to check for the gauges that can accept bulbs.

Does the LMTV have an air cleaner flow/restriction gauge in the cab like other MV's? I can't say I recall seeing one in photos. Either way it would be good to hook one up temporarily and test the shorter intake stack while under load. It's always good to test before a build takes a specific...

The FMTV really has quite a few creature comforts not typically found in military trucks.

Resurrecting an older thread here, but recent new member and need to sign in. Looking to buy a MV in the next year. Thinking of an LMTV or a HMMWV first. Storage is a bit of a challenge where I live since we are 1.6 acres on the side of a hill. I really like the LMTV, but the HMMWV would fit in...

That makes sense when you think about it. You really don't want to be operating the hydraulic features without the vehicle secured. I can see how it didn't occur to you though. I've done similar things many times. It's the "cost" of education to do things manually a few times. Then I remember...

I vote camo. Are you going to put larger tires on the trailer?

I can tell I will be referencing many of these posts in the future. This is a very useful thread. Thanks mkcoen for all your documentation and efforts.

Things are coming right along with your repairs and upgrades. Looking good! I like the hard doors.

Several different vehicles I've worked on had a bad o-ring seal on the low pressure side leading into the pump. It tended to suck air enough to cause the pump to whine. You may want to check that. Also a couple of flush/fills may help. I've found a dirty screen in the reservoir can also "starve"...

Nice DanM. How did it ride on the trailer? What is the weight of one of those things anyway?

Very nice truck! Subscribed. Let us know if it was private acquisition or GP auction.

Just be sure to account for the buyer fees and sales taxes. Depending on where you live this can be an additional 20% on your purchase price. Oh, then there's transportation to get it home. None of these can be driven away running or not.

I read the thread too. NDT is a phenomenal guy. I know this without ever meeting him, though I hope to have the pleasure someday. Thanks to mkcoen for giving proper recognition.

Great info Mike! Thank you. I will be doing this for my next oil change.

Boy my photos were really lacking. I'm so sorry. I really wish I'd have spent a bit more time and effort to get some better shots. I'll know next time. Thanks you guys for all the input here!

Thanks for the updates mkcoen! We are all glad the recovery went well. I'm still subscribed for additional photos and discussion as you get acquainted with the truck.

It's on the corner of E Jackson and S KY st. Across from Knoxville Utilities Board truck service facility.
