    LMTV/MV Safety Improvements

    Notice all the gussets in the above Dakar roll cage pic? Yes it's true anyone can throw together a jeep roll cage and sell them, and people buy them up thinking their all safe. Fact is engineering costs huge money, then there is testing. (Which means destroying a truck) A well placed push...

    Wheel and CTIS protection kit?

    Yes that picture is what I ordered. I didn't realize they were 25 lbs a piece. No wonder the shipping is so much. I do go off-road some with mine. There's lots of logging around here so there's lots of slash and stumps that could rip the CTIS lines off. Also my driveway at certain times of the...

    Strange sound coming from rear end

    Ive only heard of the issue they had with the front drive shafts. They would come off the front hit the ground and send soldiers through the windshield.

    M1078 brakes

    I've never heard of this happening. Then again I've never locked mine right up. I'd be more worried about the cab latch not locking and the cab flipping forward if you slammed the brakes on.

    LMTV cab front collision damage with pics

    Did you buy this truck Suprman? If so, and the doors are messed up. I'm looking for an outer and inner window sweeps for the drivers door. (Can't seem to find these anywhere)

    Fan clutch bolts

    Ouch. Did it take out the radiator? Locktight normally works well on high vibration areas. It's a must on Harley's

    Fan clutch bolts

    I had the fan and water pump come off on a E350 I had. Destroyed my radiator. Instant HP gain with a huge plume of white cloud . Thanks for the heads up.

    Warming up your transmission.

    Yes it started right up after being plugged in for 4 hours. I have it set up on a hot water heater timer. I adjust the timer according to what time I want to get up and leave.

    Warming up your transmission.

    It was -12f here yesterday morning on the mountain. Our property also faces west, so we get quite a bit of wind at times. So I'm sure the wind chill factor was probably even colder. I won't be making this same mistake again. I've even thought about modifying a oil dip stick heater. That can...

    Warming up your transmission.

    Just a friendly reminder to everyone. With the freezing temps we've been having, don't forget to let your transmission warm up. Even with a block heater. Your going to want to let your truck warm up for a while before driving. Once the motor is warm, I'd advise being easy on the transmission...

    I can roll back roads (rural routes) flat footed, topping sixty, 45 climbing hills in a 55mph zone. I could see highway gears being a useful essential..!!

    You can check the oil without tipping the cab. Drivers side, behind front tire, lift the inner engine mud flap, it should be right there.

    LMTV and Deep Water Fording

    I just shut my fan off. It would be a good idea to check your fluids after your done doing your water rescues. But I've never found any water in mine. I only go in till water is at the bottom of the doors. I've also shut the motor off sitting that deep (spaced it) didn't even faze it. The...

    Cab and spare hydraulics problems M1078 LMTV

    I almost asked yesterday if he had checked the fluid, but didn't want it to be taken badly. Mine was recently doing the same thing. (I thought my cab latch was stuck) Turned out to be a quart low on fluid. (Those dip sticks are a hard read without proper lighting)

    LMTV Adventure

    Mine was also missing the door seals, I believe it was fairly common on the earlier trucks. Mine had an edge trim with no seal attached. Seals for both doors ran me about $96. Not sure what you mean by windlass? I know I've been looking for an outer driverside window sweep (bottom seal) for...
