    M1088 Cab went up, now won't come all the way down

    This sounds like the problem I had with mine, it was related to lowering the cab with the cab air leveling system engaged. I always raise and lower the cab with the air ride bags deflated and I haven't had the problem again.

    M1078A1 driving me nuts (Very Slowly)

    Have you checked to make sure the PAC Brake isn’t getting stuck on? When I first got my truck it was sticking and resulted in a dramatic reduction in power.

    Its finally here!

    This LMTV is the first vehicle with a winch I have ever owned, so I have a lot to learn. I really appreciate all the tips and information you shared, thanks for taking the time to post that. On the subject of safety, Do you think it would make sense to add a remote control to the SRW winch when...

    https://www.ebay.com/itm/294298050757 Check out this double snatch block. So here is a question, since the 7th layer pull of my SRW is only like 6k, what if i went from the winch to this guy, then back to another snatch block on the drivers side shackle, then back to this double snatch and...

    Its finally here!

    Did that one actually come with a winch truck? It doesn't look like a Skookum model 62 which is what I have heard other people say is what would have come with a winch truck. As to how much it is worth, I have no idea, however if you do want to sell please let me know what you are asking.

    Its finally here!

    My hunt only revealed part numbers, but not diagrams or anything? Maybe I looked in the wrong place? My interest in the accessories is just to know (for example) what an official winch truck snatch block looks like, so even if some website fudges the NSN of their product, I would know if it’s...

    Clogged fuel tank vent M1078A1

    Hello, I noticed when fueling my LMTV there was a lot of hissing when opening the fuel cap. I was also having a very subtle idle surging issue and while reading posts I saw mentioned a clogged vent several times. I did a little digging on the forums and couldn't find any pictures or good...

    Extra switch outputs

    can you share a source for the cloth wire loom and cab bushing? Both of those are pretty baked on my truck.

    Extra switch outputs

    When I was rummaging through some documentation it seemed like a lot of those had to do with the optional arctic heat system and troop heater. So maybe they end up near the bed?

    Considering getting an LMTV in Wa State

    Rollie 1. I just bought an M1078A1 w/winch in Puyallup, WA about 3 weeks ago. They come up from time to time in the Seattle and Portland area. I only ever look on Craigslist. 2. Looking at nice winch trucks on Govplanet seems expensive, but I only paid $16500 for mine private party, and it’s...

    Can I register my five ton historically here currently in Ca?

    Yes they do, If Timothy McVeigh had blown up a DMV he’d be an American Hero. You are reminding me of my battles with the DMV when I lived in CA back in the day.. I bought a personalized plate from them to convey my sentiments. It was a hit with the LEOs, I don’t think they like the dmv either.

    Truck surges when warming up?

    Thanks for this post, I just bought a jug of the Stanadyne to try on my truck, my idle isn’t too terrible, but it definitely hunts a bit when it is cold so I will give it a shot!

    New Rig

    Nice score! I actually saw this one advertised on Craigslist when I was looking… The red switch is the main power switch. I would flip that off to prevent power drain when not using the truck. On my A1, for example, the light controller remains powered up until I flip that off. When I flip it on...

    Its finally here!

    Would love to see some additional pics of all the tools/accessories. Mine didn’t come with any but I would love to source the correct kit. congrats on your score!

    M1078A1 Self Recovery Winch stuck in Engaged

    Funny you should mention this, I had observed the diagram that looked like motorcycle wet clutches and thought maybe they were just glued together from lack of use. So I WD-40ed the lever and went to town around the clutch area with a big rubber mallet. Drum was still hung up so I hooked the...

    M1078A1 Self Recovery Winch stuck in Engaged

    Has anyone experienced the situation where their winch will not "free-wheel" ? I have gone through all the troubleshooting TMs for the A0 truck (haven't gotten ahold of A1 TMs yet) and none of them deal with a clutch malfunction. Best I can find is the parts diagram, but I cant really see from...
