    Air brake pressure gauge malfunction in LMTV

    Longer than my truck. When I got her she wouldn't a few hours. Now if daily driving I don't hear the alarm. Three weeks of sitting she down to 60#—

    Air brake pressure gauge malfunction in LMTV

    Now you all have me wondering. Our low air alarm goes on and off at about 95#. I typically still have 65# when I fire her up. I usually hold my thumb over the alarm if sitting in the cab during warm up. New goal — rarely if ever hear the low air warning—

    LMTV Passenger Seats

    Our issue is the size. We want a larger box than the 1079 and we enjoy building things. Though if I could design a 1079 to meet by better half's desires that's the way we would go. As it is, Globe Trekker appears better built and more affordable than the other boxes we have looked at for the...

    One last video on the final day to vote! My goodness Migginsbros play hard and smart. Plus who wouldn't love such a versatile rig? Well we had almost 2-1/2 inches of rain this morning so we went on our ritual rainy morning projects drive to see how the SWPPs and erosion plantings held up...

    Reinstalled the CAT 3126B'S reprogramed ECM this afternoon. The difference between 275hp and 330hp is awesome. We'll try to get a similar video to 'merging onto the interstate' for comparison, though the difference, especially uphill is noticeable. I can't recall the last time we were in 7th...

    Month after month we see beautiful examples of restored vehicles here in the monthly challenge. Some of us have retired MV's that we hope to bring to a new life. A life beyond their service military service. A service we honor [my dad served during WWII, my son serves USARMY NG today] by...

    What cool rigs to be competing with this month! We are enjoying learning more about each one. We have been replacing items like the worn out cab air suspension and removing the 2:1 wheel reduction hubs to increase the M1078A1's drivability without reducing her capability. Here is a link to...

    FMTV 3126 Engine options

    When we owned a small fleet of CAT equipment we did oil testing. I have been wondering if we should restart with this truck and the comment about the likelihood the previous owner did not maintain the engine well makes me think again, that is worth exploring–
