    Problems with hydraulic manifold

    I believe it's against the rules to put those links here. Send me an email ohiobenz@gmail.com.

    Got driveshafts balanced yet? Otherwise, it's like a grenade ready to go off at any time.

    I agree completely. I consider myself a noob, at least to the LMTV.

    Problems with hydraulic manifold

    Search the big auction site for "3 Quart Double Acting Hydraulic Pump Dump Trailer Power Unit 12V Control Kit" They ship worldwide. That is similar to what I have on my cab tilt now, and will have a 2nd one for the spare.

    Problems with hydraulic manifold

    Since you're building this into a camper, you won't be using the kneeling cylinders, and the cab air ride is easily replaced with a small manual valve (I placed mine inside the cab). All that is left then is the cab tilt and tire loader. I replaced the troublesome manifold and pump with a...

    Unfortunately newbies do come here and get chastised to read the TM's and use the search function, neither of which are helpful....

    Anyone swap out their steering wheel?

    Has anyone done a steering column swap, or partial swap in order to eliminate adapters and maybe have a center horn button, other options for controls? I've been thinking about that as part of the upgrade to a less military look and function.

    A0 High Speed Gears - Speedometer Dip Switch Adjustment

    I Googled Ametek 900 speedometer calibration. There is a 20 page document that might be helpful if we have some of the numbers required to get to get to the chart. If the stock tire size is used 33.64" diameter and the 3.07 axle ratio N calculates out to 246. Then this chart is supposedly...

    A0 High Speed Gears - Speedometer Dip Switch Adjustment

    I have 2 different apps that use GPS for speed and they don't always match, so I would have to use mile markers over a longer distance to get an accurate reference. A 14x20 tire is 1.427 x the diameter of the 395/85 R20, or a 150.79" circumference vs a 105.68" circumference, or a 42.68% increase...

    Wrong replacement engine fan...

    If anyone needs a good fan and clutch, I have a like new one off my LMTV, and a viscous clutch one of a civilian OTR truck.

    Plumbing a water cooled turbo on a 3116?

    I'm about 3/4 through this upgrade and will say this.... If your level of mechanical expertise is unbolting and swapping another part on, take it to a reputable mechanic who is experienced in custom work. This is not a straight forward swap! I will post pix and a parts list when I'm done.
