    i need sway bar bushings, could you post a pic, and list the materials you used? please? i am also in full agreement on not needing "the" part when something else (that is cheaper) works.

    Lmtv starter

    Occasionally when I go out to start mine- ill push the button and the starter will engage for a split second, and if I continue to hold the button, a split second later it will crank normally and fire right up. The starter itself appears to have been replaced very recently.... maybe a...

    M1078 Cold Starting & Ether?

    Coachgeo- yes I do still have motor oil in the tranny. Come spring, that will be my first priority job on the lmtv. I'd imagine there should be a world of difference after the fluid flush and change. To me it seems like the motor is fighting that thick oil until it thins out when it warms up...

    M1078 Cold Starting & Ether?

    started mine today, 20 degrees, block heater plugged in- it truly started right up like it was summer time. as for the transmission- that's a different story. Its a slug until driven about 5 miles.

    block heater

    element is at 12 oclock, cant go any other way, really. i bought 3 new 5 gallon buckets (clean), and probably drained about 11-12 gallons from the petcock on the bottom of the radiator. And when i popped the freeze plug out, maybe 2-3 oz. were lost. a regular screwdriver, pliers, and a small...

    block heater

    hi guys, my m1078 has started with a touch of the button all summer. Two weeks ago (around 25 degrees) it started.....but with a good 3-4 seconds of holding the button. Typical diesel engine, i guess. So today i installed a 1000w block heater. Simple job, it took longer to drain the coolant than...

    LMTV Upgrades

    curiosity question- is the breather serviceable, or problematic? do they plug up? or is it a part that generally isn't bothered with?

    m1078 com antenna

    hi all, i finally have a passenger side com antenna mount with the spring base, i need the actual 2 piece antenna whip.

    LMTV speedometer

    i haven't worked on mine,.... but it does show a average of 5 mph slower than i am actually going. (via gps comparison) what i think is odd though, according to highway mile markers, my odometer is spot on.

    minor air leak behind cab

    this little box that the air ride frame is connected (right behind the cab) to decided to start leaking the other day. a little windex sprayed on it, clearly shows the leak coming from the 4 bolts that seal the box shut, not a major leak, and only leaks the 3rd air tank down to about 50 psi...
