    Lmtv ctis wheel hardware

    I believe those were only on the fronts of the A0s to easily deflate the tires but I could be mistaken. Just switch it out for a basic elbow. https://www.pgttruckparts.com/673240-Eaton-Right-Angle-Conn-p/2264-673240.htm

    CTIS and Arduino

    Agreed^^ The arduino controller (in this thread) only integrates with the (3) solenoids and pressure sensor inside the controller under the passenger dash. If you have that, you're probably good to go.

    CTIS banjo bolt seal

    Here's another source for a sealing washer: https://www.mcmaster.com/93781A035/ I'm not sure if that will work as well, based on the picture. Do you know if the rubber is thicker than the metal?

    Window treatments

    I installed ceramic 30% tint solely to insulate from heat: https://www.3m.com/3M/en_US/p/d/b5005118130/ If you want to try to DIY, all the side windows are flat and so no pre-forming with a heat gun is required. The windshield has a curve but only in 1-axis so the tint still doesn't need...

    How do you make a LMTV NOT suck in the snow?

    ^^ Exactly. I used to have a lowered 335xi, I'd take that on plowed icy road over anything I've ever owned, by far. In deeper snow you can air down and try to "float" - think Jeep on 40s. Or, you can stay aired up for clearance and use chains so the chains grab the ground. Based on my years...

    Cab stretching…. Anyone?

    How is that more than you were looking to do? That's pretty much word for word what you were asking about but 100x easier than chopping the cab in half and adding 16" custom windows. 🧐 Excap.de - The Acela of Europe (?) Pics above are better than I've ever seen! The Steyr 12M18 is manual...

    Rear Tail Lights

    They are not different, as said above. The left turn signal turns on the left light, the right turn signal turns on the right light and the brake pedal turns on both. Unfortunately, that circuit is spread out over many pages of the schematic set. CB74 12v ignition for the turn signals CB76...

    Cab Heater Fan electric modification

    I don't have motor info but it's a Bergstrom BFZ80D 24v blower.

    FMTV chassis selection for camper build

    Ooof, I think it would sacrilege to destroy a wrecker.... :cry: But, I think what you're looking for (maybe?) is in the parts manuals. TM 9-2320-366-24P-1. Section 15 has details of the frames but no dimensions. I'm guessing, if you carved up a wrecker, you would have no issue selling off...

    Tie rod and drag link dust boot part number and links

    I've done the same thing. I believe they are Spicer PN 673284 but I can't confirm. http://media.spicerparts.com/cfs/files/media/hmN7hP4Bw4vmTDczq/axip-0010.pdf?store=original...

    Tie rod and drag link dust boot part number and links

    Hey Rick, Have you actually installed those? I emailed Energy Suspension about our tie rod/drag links >a year ago and they said they didn't have anything that would work. Cheers,

    Cab Heater Fan electric modification

    Are you trying to set up an automatic temp control? I installed an electronic servo on the coolant line if that is of any use to you. I bought the whole kit but you can buy just the valve if you are making your own controls. https://www.vintageair.com/instructions_pdf/50507-VUA.pdf

    6x6 Air brake line routing help

    I'd argue that there are errors in the diagram in the TM. You can find the diagram at the back of any of the manuals, right after the electrical. You can find some hose numbers and other info in the air troubleshooting manual, starting on page 1223, TM-9-2320-366-20-2. There are charts that...

    M1083 info needed on frame rails and bed

    The stock (1083) doublers appear to have been bent from plate steel and would be difficult to duplicate without access to a very large press brake. They're about 6 1/4" tall x 2 3/4" wide x 5/16" thick. If it were me, I'd use rectangular tube but C6x13 is close-ish and I'm pretty sure the...

    Planetary trunion diameter

    The cut off hub cover is basically a window. You're essentially putting the entire hub assembly together, save for the outer most gear, and looking inside to see how much play/backlash exists. I would assume the TM errors on the low side such that with brand new spider gears, at the max...

    Suspension torque rods.......new dust boots available?

    This isn't perfect but it's the best thing I could come up with, save for casting custom parts. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/6x6-v-link-boots.200434/

    Planetary trunion diameter

    1.180-1.181" on the part that I have at the ready, measured with calipers. The problem, or possible variance, using the TM method is that the TM assumes the thickness of the gear set is XYZ for all gear sets, as @steve6x6x6 pointed out in previous posts. Gear sets ARE going to vary in...

    Identify air fitting - Alemite

    What you have pictured in the OP is the tractor protection valve. I don't know enough about how it works to tell you exactly why/what air it's supposed to vent. I'd guess it's to allow the valve to shuttle back and forth so I'd guess your leak is probably just a bad oring. Unless you're...
