Water ingress?

If your CTIS is working fine, I'd leave them alone, unless they are known to be possibly quite old.

Good question. Leaks of gear oil into the CTIS system is a clue. I found this in mine. If you are in there, you might as well change them, as they are not that expensive, just a PITA is all.

Thanks! That's a very interesting document, packed with good info.

FYI You may need slightly longer wrist pin.

No, but you can borrow some ideas and weld up your own : )

Sorry, I have not yet. So many irons in the fire. Yes take at Neil's video. He does really good work. Happy to help if you have questions.

Look at how a branch from a tree sweeps across the truck front, and it will make sense. You want to keep things that sweep from connecting with the windshield with any degree of force. I show more when I make mine.

I agree with with CoachGeo. I would say this as well. When you have one fabricated, make sure that there are adequate protections for that windshield. The ones I have seen thus far do not do enough. When I build mine it will be better thought out than what I have seen. Windshield can be hard...

Yes, that WAS a joke ;)

The new A5 FMTV version has a talking version alarm called "Karen".

The ABS truck will not necessarily stop at a shorter distance, BUT it will stop straight typically. In fact, stopping distance may even be longer. All it does is pulse the brakes to stop a lock up at the wheel. Concur with comment about experienced vs inexperienced drivers. There was a very...

It is kind of stunning when you look at a HMMWV compared to even an A0 FMTV.

I do have some good news though. Some people are born with 3 kidneys.

Interesting discussion. There is another thread about why there are so few that Overland in an FMTV at this point. If it dies, it will cost you. Ideas: - Do you have a network of FMTV or military truck owners within 100 miles? There are a lot of good guys out there that might be able to help...

This is exactly what I am saying. You can do it yourself (and save thousands) , BUT you must spend hundreds of hours scanning every tid bit of information in maintenance, let alone doing the work and paying for the tools and parts. This why I outlined the failure points of the 3116.

If you can get ahold of a Meyer-Carpenter 3116 adjustment kit, they are MUCH easier than the CAT version to set up the rack.

Is that a working crane attached to that M1082? (y)
