Just got the last 2 done. All new u-joints. The splines on the one was so bad it couldn’t be balanced. With a price tag of just under $900 I need to sell a kidney. Blood type A+, non-smoker, non-drinker (well I did guzzle from age 17 until 43). You pay shipping.

Swapped out all 7 Michelins for Goodyears. Pulled the radio rack and installed the 3rd seat. Put the pintle hook extension kit in - 98% done; just need to fab a relocation bracket for the rear two axle vent tube T. Got the remaining 2 driveshafts checked, repaired, new u-joints, and...

The DMV part went relatively smooth. I was sure-fire expecting them to want something absolutely bizarre but thankfully my chest pains didn’t increase!

A couple of questions: 1). The red switch by the drivers left knee is for what? 2) I picked up a 200 amp alternator. Would O be well advised to swap that in for the existing 100A alternator? 3) by putting in the 200 amp unit will that mean I should or could remove the LBCD?

Thank you.

maybe these picture are more helpful?

Actually the military has done numerous oil studies.

Plan on removing that drum again today. Getting the shoes tucked fully inside is important but the critical piece is not distorting the drum when tightening lug nuts because the drum stands off the hub face.

Have considered doing that. Was curious to know if this problem had surfaced before & if it were a prevailing problem.

Song & a whistle. Nice!

I searched the forum using key words & phrases but came up empty. Preface: Perhaps this info will be helpful in pinpointing the “limp” as well as the brake shoe concern. I picked up Goodyear tires months ago to specifically swap out the Michelins. The more I drove the truck I noticed a “limp”...

There should be part #’s on the plug and the plug cover. Might be hard to see them though.

Yeah. I didn’t really intend to snap a shot of the CAGE code, I just wanted to show some of the rim and the air valve hoping someone could ID it off of that. I’ll take a better picture later.

What type MRAP run is this? I know it’s aluminum.

I cannot find the length, thread size, or pitch for the bolt. But going back Ft of what I found for the nut you should be able to remove a nut (and or bolt) to verify. Bolt = NSN: 5306-01-242-0602. P/N: 914141012205. Nut = NSN: 5310-01-259-3584. P/N: 000934014022. The nut is a 14mm X 1.5...

Any idea why the newer generation trucks don’t have cab air suspension? And, do you know if a A1 could be converted from air to bushings - if the need presented? Thanks for the info!

Curious as to why there is a difference in cab mounts between truck versions? Please recap which mounts go with which trucks. Thanks

I’m in for a set M1083A1.

Anyone have an idea how many FMTV’s have been turned over on the surplus market? LMTV & FMTV’s by model #?

I’m curious, if you know, Once loose, what causes all the bolts to shear at the same time? Initial torque on start up? Sudden acceleration? I can’t imagine that these bolts will all back out, or loosen, to a certain point and then shear. Interesting.
