    FMTV Air Conditioner Hybrid Completed Installation

    I purchased all the insulation and floor mat material from www.cabinsulation.com Check them out. The floor mat material matched the original LMTV floor mat material. I’m guessing they may be the supplier to LMTV manufacture. All the insulation is soft foam. Using the metalized mylar first again...

    FMTV Air Conditioner Hybrid Completed Installation

    My latest update involved replacing the Gen1 dash/evaporator unitwith the newer Gen2 unit. After trying everything possible to get it to blow colder air. The gen1 unit struggled to blow 60-65 degrees on a hot summer day here in Florida. Which doesn’t cut it. So in goes the Gen2 unit. Now it...

    LMTV CTIS $10 upgrade to ~75psi for Highway

    I was going to do what ronmar did, I even bought all the parts to do it but my dilemma is that my CTIS is working properly and the CTIS controller does a great job at always checking the pressure and adjusting when necessary. My only reason was so I could get higher pressures but this way I...

    LMTV CTIS $10 upgrade to ~75psi for Highway

    Thanks for the info. I just ordered the pressure sensor and I ordered a 3 circuit / 3 pole toggle switch from McMaster Carr part# 7343K861 and a 1/8" Tee so I can hook both sensors up and switch between the high and low sensors.

    Manual CTIS, electric over pneumatic.

    Great solution! Even though my system is working after replacing the ECU 2 years ago. As I start my camper build knowing I need heigher tire pressure to support the added weight I will be converting my old ECU to this method. Thanks for figuring it out.

    Swapping front 3rd via pulling hub and stub axle as a unit

    8: Remove the 10 bolts holding the hub to the steering knuckle. I had to get creative using different wrenches for loosening and removing the bolts because of the limited space, 1/2" breaker bar, 1/2" drive ratchet and 3/8" ratchet. 9: With help!!! pull the hub out and move air brake parts out...

    Swapping front 3rd via pulling hub and stub axle as a unit

    That is how I did my front axel gear swap. But not by removing the knuckle. But by removing the 10 bolts that hold the hub onto the steering knuckle. It does take two people though they are just so heavy. Step 1: after the tires are off the brake drums don’t want to come off and I wasted a lot...

    Keith's M1078A1 Project Overland

    I can’t believe no one in Florida wants the set of seats! I can possibly meet you in the middle if that helps out. I hate to see them collect dust in the corner of the garage.

    Keith's M1078A1 Project Overland

    They are ford f150 take outs of the front center seat. If I remember correctly its a few years around 2010-2015???. I'm guessing from fleet trucks and they remove them and install arm rest or something. Then I found some good quality seat covers from seat covers unlimited the tailor made ones.

    LMTV 1078 A1 Not Starting

    I own a 2003 M1078A1, so I understand your troubles. I had to chase about 10-12 different electrical problems. A few of those prevented it from starting. My point is don’t get stuck thinking it had to do with the 3x4, something else could have suddenly started to cause it. For instance I found a...

    Picture of the hole plugs on steering column?

    I ordered some from McMaster Carr, if memory serves me right they were just 1” black plastic hole plugs. They came in a pack of 50 or 100, if you were close enough I’d give you some....I have more than I’ll ever us left over.
