    special charger for AGM batteries?

    Thanks, unfortunately, you may be at the end of the useful life. My '08 1078 has original Batcore 6TAGM's. I had a parasitic drain last summer and they went dead but I was able to bring em back. I'm getting ready to write a check for a new set of ArmaSafe Plus batteries so was curious.

    special charger for AGM batteries?

    How old are your batteries, original equipment? Photo looks new, but I assume it's a pasted in web-shot. A new Hawker has an 18 month warranty and reports of a long shelf/use life. Hawker's website lists a lot of information for the use and care of the Armasafe Plus Battery...

    Changing the front cab mounts on the 1078A1

    I wanted to finalize my report on changing the cab mounts on the 1078A1. The rear center mount was very easy. Simply pull the bolt and put in a new set of mounts. It was not much more than that. The front mounts, however, are another matter. However, using suggestions from other's who...

    New LMTV

    Thanks, from the photos I thought all was in the inside of the cab. When I raise up the cab, the area under it is surprisingly clean. I looks like it should stick. I too am going to try this.

    New LMTV

    Has anyone tried to put Dynamat under the cab but on the ​outside under the hump and surrounding area? Would it stand up to weather and heat that it would be exposed to? The inside of my cab is already finished, but I would like to add additional sound deadening.

    My tires/wheels were balanced when I picked up my truck. All the wheels have nice little lead weights on the inside so it appears that it can be done.

    Bad wiring to my regulator on my 1995 M1083

    Many thanks, I don't want to hijack this thread with another topic but it pertains to the above. I will send you a quick PM.

    Bad wiring to my regulator on my 1995 M1083

    Are these 12 & 24 volt non-fused leads accessible under the passenger kick panel or do you actually have to lift the breaker panel? I guess the next question is whether or not they are easily identifiable. I'm assuming from your comment that these are direct battery contacts. Thx

    Changing the front cab mounts on the 1078A1

    First time for me trying to add attachments so if it doesn't come through properly, I'll try again. There should be 3 documents attached. 1) the parts breakdown, 2) a page from PS Magazine calling attention to the front mounts (same part #'s) and 3) a photo of my mount before I changed it. I...

    Changing the front cab mounts on the 1078A1

    Yes, those are the ones. With it stripped down like that who needs a manual :-D

    Changing the front cab mounts on the 1078A1

    Thanks, I'm thinking along those lines too. It would be nice to see the procedure described in the A1 manual, but at this point I don't have it. Access to the nut holding the resilient mount on the right is easy. On the left, I think you need to drop the front skid plate and come up from the...

    Changing the front cab mounts on the 1078A1

    Thanks for the direction. I found some reference to this procedure in TM-9-2320-365-32-2 Chapter 15. These procedures pretty much describe cab removal which would give you great access to these parts. That should not be required for the replacement, however, I may have missed something. The...

    Changing the front cab mounts on the 1078A1

    Does anyone have any experience changing the left and right front rubber cab mounts on the 1078A1. The mounts are the same part numbers as the back center cab latch which I have changed without any problems. The left and right front mounts tend to deteriorate overtime just like the the rear...

    LMTV Adventure

    The lights came with a contemporary ( or non military) connector if that's the correct word. I simply cut that off and made the connections into my truck with the standard pre-existing military style connectors.

    Taking down the spare tire

    Thanks much, yes this is my set-up. What I thought looked like an "arm" may have just been the way the drawing was done. The video made it look easy so yes, I will try it and give an after action report.
