    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Yes, that is what I used. Completely got rid of that rude downshift. I am about due to change it out again which should eliminate all of the remaining motor oil (or darn close to it). I changed both filters and will do so again this time as well.

    I used NAPA (Valvoline) dexron III. Here she is on her first test run last year. https://youtu.be/JU5zSfJ_U94

    Does M1082 Have CTIS? GP Says Yes, Common Sense Says No.

    I agree on how well it pulls. The height is a great advantage on pulling with the M929 because it being the same width gives me a better understanding of where I exactly am in my lane with just a glance in the mirrors. Plus the anti-lock brakes as well as the truck's anti-lock brakes make for...

    Does M1082 Have CTIS? GP Says Yes, Common Sense Says No.

    Oh you had me on that. Why do you not like them? What I like is I am actually pulling a whole LMTV behind me, minus the power unit.

    What have you done to your HEMTT/PLS/MK48 this week

    Are you able to unload the pallets of block with the truck's crane?

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Nice truck and nicer yet to see it working, yet you keep it sharp. However, I am confused at the super singles with CTIS on an M817.

    Does M1082 Have CTIS? GP Says Yes, Common Sense Says No.

    Ok. Thank you. The previous owner said that about the hollow stud too. He also was wondering how it could do anything without the hollow stud. I just assumed (we know what that leads to) that GP knew what they were saying. However, that inspector in KY also said in the auction listing that it...

    Awe man, didn't see that with Ol' Glory distracting it. Nevermind! No, jus' kiddin'. It's your truck so you might as well dress her up as you wish.

    Definitely well thought out. Stowage for ladder, side panels, posts, all of the bows. If only there were a place for the actual cover. I guess one could strap it on the tongue.

    So GP needs informed that they need to quit saying they have CTIS. Very misleading. I will inform jwade.

    M1082 LMTV trailer. I just love how the deck height of 60" is the same as the M929A2. The ABS on truck and trailer is a great combination.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Sharp looking ride. Some nice additions that add some class.

    Does M1082 Have CTIS? GP Says Yes, Common Sense Says No.

    Ok. I looked the wheels over and over, inside and out, and cannot see how air could be possibly getting to the tire. The only air hoses going near the tire are only going to (and from) the brake chambers. Is it possible the tire just has the hoses attached to the rim so that if the truck needs a...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Even when the mechanism messes up as described in the threads I linked, the inside handle will still operate normally. However, even if the forementioned links might fix the majority, you really do never know until you get the mechanism out.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    It is fairly easy to repair the door handle. Hardest part is getting the mechanism out and back in. The first link explains it better and the second one has better pictures...

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    Gotta admit I only read it when there is an issue. Mine dont light on startup, so it must be disconnected, the bulb burnt out, or the sensor absent since the previous owner put a screw on filter in.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Finally got my flat mirror painted and put on the passenger side. The convex bottom on the MRAP mirror was really hindering my seeing the load dump, or any trailer. I like to often look at a pulled trailer's tires, and backing a trailer was as bad as trying to back one up with a modern "truck"...

    There is a "water in fuel" light? Where is it located?

    But you will only get a percentage of it.
