    Put the military drive line and axles on a donor truck? Hmmmmm.....

    Thoughts on the onslaught of State Laws that Pull us of the road

    On the record: I borrowed this from another member named "Hometown" post. Apparently, it has no basis in actual law, but it is interesting to see how it was spun. I will add a link to this member's posts.

    Thoughts on the onslaught of State Laws that Pull us of the road

    Thoughts on the onslaught of State Laws that Pull us off the road I am trying to wrap my head around the best leverage to change legislation when these types of things occur. One repeating concept keeps coming to mind. Climate change. More floods, fire, tornadoes, etc, and rescues of families...

    Spare Tire Cylinder

    Take the 4 bolts out of the cylinder and rotate the end to get elbows in the same plane. You may want to use that extra port on the side. If you do this you will not have to air down.

    If you put a standard commercial truck cab on a military truck how is the VIN done

    Before the flames get thrown, I know nothing about this area of the law, so I am just trying to learn. Hypothetical: Your State says that you can no longer drive your military vehicle. You own a cab for a semi truck that has been totaled (have title) and you own a military truck. You put the...

    LMTV registration in California. BUYERS BEWARE

    No doubt this thread will be moved, but I REALLY wish it wasn't. Why? Until a month ago I had no idea States were are the war path to pull us off the road. I did not follow the other areas of this site. NOW I WILL lol. We need to be proactive. No, not raising an issue where there is no...

    Spare Tire Cylinder

    I think Parker sells these if you need them. I have a suspicion these valves are the culprit when FMTV cylinders fail.

    LMTV registration in California. BUYERS BEWARE

    <br> Are they grandfathering? <br> <br> This is cancer for military trucks. Who is behind this in California? Why are they doing this? Nobody has solid reasoning from officials as to why this is happening? Find it in the legislation. We need to find out. Freedom of information act. Head in the...

    Spare Tire Cylinder

    To get clearance for the elbows, all you have to do is remove the four long bolts and rotate that end 90 degrees. This will get the elbows out of the way. See my video. I'm not sure TS still carries this cylinder unfortunately. I found a similar one. Mine was $98 from amazon...

    I used a hole saw to very carefully make more room. Very tight area. https://youtu.be/ThrkSqIeCRU

    LMTV windshield wiper controller

    OMG Yes, It's a nightmare of tiny parts crammed into a tube AND the switch has cams and tiny plastic parts and micro springs. Honestly, having just done this recently, I would just replace it. While it does have contacts, the problem will likely be a failing piece of plastic. I have not had a...

    True Cost of Ownership

    Beware of parts on Fleabay listed with vague descriptions with LMTV in title. Make sure that the military number of the part is listed and that you cross it. Most honest sellers will give you more info. People will put LMTV in the title just to attract attention and move drab green parts. Got...

    True Cost of Ownership

    Agree with previous comments. I would add the following. If a component her rubber or plastic, it will likely need to be replaced. Especially trucks used in high ambient heat areas. Heat and UV eat these components. An old radiator fan with plastic components can take out a radiator. Fans are...
