Vermont does not REQUIRE a title on vehicles over 15 years old. Vermont does issue titles to vehicles older than 15 years. I would expect VIN verification would be required. (Normally done by Vermont law enforcement officer) "Vermont titles vehicles that are 15 years old or newer based on...

Yes, there is just enough room to get the cable past the pin. That is all you need to do. I use a screw pin shackle on the end of the winch cable. I do not remember the size but it fit nicely.

Yes that is correct. I should have made that clear. Vermont vehicle inspection would only be enforced in Vermont. Prior to Vermont vehicle inspection many cars and trucks on the road were so rusty pieces would fall off while driving down the road. I know of a front wheel drive car that was...

Hello from the other side of the river.

In Vermont, If a vehicle is more than 15 years old, no title is required to register the vehicle. You only need a bill of sale to register. The bill of sale could be scribbled on a napkin. You can also get a new title if you want one, you just fill out a form and provide a bill of sale. After...

For clarity, the pin you are referring to is located in the diagram below the cable guide (7). My pin is spring mounted so I can slide the pin towards the truck frame and the cable will slip past the end of the pin. My truck differs slightly from the diagram because my pin is mounted in reverse...

This is the ice/snow test with the wrong tires on your truck.

This sounds exactly like my experience. The engine sounds terrible then it just smooths out and sounds like a different engine. Here is a link to an article that explains what is going on better than I can. https://axi-international.com/ultra-low-sulfur-diesel-ulsd/ Glad to hear it worked for you.

I am not a fan of the "all in one" tool. If you need to do some light cutting I carry something like this. https://sherrilltree.com/silky-ibuki-390-xl-teeth/ This type of saw is available in many sizes, from small folding saws you can fit in your pocket up to saws even larger than the one show...

I agree with you Wingnut13, hydraulic winches are far better than electric winches. When I was looking for my M1078 I searched the auction listings, only considering trucks with the self recovery winch. That rules out about 95% of the trucks. I eventually found one and I am very glad I did. I do...

Yeah but you got skeeters the size of small birds, snakes that will kill you and some ancient reptiles that would like to take a bite while you are swimming. :)

It depends on what your definition of "in the snow is" . If you are talking about driving the truck on a warm paved road (road temperature around 32F) with a half inch of snow, then I agree, it is not good. You can lower the tire pressure or put chains on and slow way down. Most tires are not...

I have a 1998 M1078 and the stock 3116 with the self recovery winch so I am carrying an extra 1,000 lbs and I can do 58 MPH on level ground if I push it. If your truck is unloaded and fully warmed up you should be doing more than 45 0r 50 MPH on level ground. My truck cruises very nicely at 50...

I use it every tank at the higher rate they recommend. Something like 1 or 2 ounces per 10 gallons. The first tank full my mechanic told me to use it at 4 or 5 times the highest recommended rate.

I was also skeptical about lubrication since my skid steer ran perfectly for thousands of hours. Then one day it started surging like you described. After checking for air leaks and finding none. A mechanic listened to the machine idling and told me it would be solved with Opti-Lube and he was...

I had the same symptoms on my 1998 New Holland LX885 skid steer. It turned out to be caused by a lack of lubricity due to the low sulfur diesel fuel. I added Opti Lube and it solved the problem right away. I would try that first since it is cheap, easy and won't hurt anything.

I have a 1998 M1078 LMTV and I used Grote 7" LEDs (pn# 90941-5). They are fairly inexpensive at $119.00 each, seem to produce plenty of light and are easy to install. The Grote headlight includes a H4 adapter pigtail which I soldered onto the military wires. This allows for the headlights to be...

With cool ambient air temperatures and an empty truck my truck takes a long time to warm up the engine to produce good heat. You said your engine temp gauge is not working so are you sure your coolant is really getting up to normal operating temperature? Maybe check with an IR thermometer.
