    Bought new LED Head Lights to put on?

    Searched here and found a newer M1078 A0 mine is a 95 numbers don't match. They still use a separate ground each head light to the Chassis Ground so that is what I am looking for. Got Dark enough for a test of new 600W LED Side Flood lights and the Front Light Bar. Very happy with all of them...

    Making the Speedometer Accurate?

    You made it sound easy now leaving it hang out of the Dash. Wish I had thought of that!! I have a lot of empty road to try this on. Ordered me 2- LED Head Lights tonight since I had a burned out low beam on one. Did not take much to get me to buy them!

    What have you done to your FMTV or LMTV today

    82,000 lumens total if all on. On Fires I used the side ones all the time to turn around at night so I could see where my front end swings to. I will take some night shots. Waiting for darkness to stand on the roof and take some pictures. But the Lights are on now and work.

    Just another alternator charging, battery thread - help for new owners?

    Had to look inside the Old Generator today just to see if anything looked out of place. I could only get the rear plate of where the smaller coils are. 2 of them looked over heated and were now loose. The rest were OK looking. On the end with the pulley under that plate are many connections...

    Stupid Question about Highway Gears??

    I put a high value on the M1078 I own seems like a real good all round truck if all goes well. I was lucky in my mind that the one I got had such low miles and little problems.

    Just another alternator charging, battery thread - help for new owners?

    OK Tested the Generator/Alternator today on a long drive in Town. Ran Great and even the Speedometer started working smooth with the proper voltage! After I shut it off I checked the pair of Batteries both 13.32-13.34 so still topped off. Before they would start dropping and I charged them each...

    Just another alternator charging, battery thread - help for new owners?

    Installed the M1078 Generator today I bought a while back off EBay. It works and is charging the Batteries OK. Total Voltage is 28.1 Volts 13.51 VDC and 14.49 VDC to the 12 Volt battery. The 12 volt one needed little more of a charge in the test? After I go for a drive leave them all hooked in...
