Yes sir I too have seen people replace non leaking seals (on just about anythng) to end up with problems. They fixed it till it was broke... Installing seals properly isn't as easy as people think. Maybe the thinking is FMTV crossfit gym for some.

Thanks! that was a week I spent on the Black Rock Dessert in Nevada. I can't wait to go back. I also like the Owens Valley of California.

I think I like camping in the dry better than wet. Heck one of those pictures above was on a dry lake bead in Nevada. Don't think you can get much drier. :) I do love the "dry" side of the state but I am on the "wet" side. Heck this year has been the wet and snowy side... Some pictures from...

Thought your name was familiar... Going to be fun to watch you folks outfit your M1079! I love the desert and the southwest! So much opportunity for good offroading, camping and photography! Some of the camping I have done in the past.

I'd go more drones myself...[thumbzup]

The glow plug system is a trap. While its a "24 volt" system you do not want more than 15 volts applied to a glow plug. The 2 dropping resistors drop the voltage to around 14 volts +/- with all 8 glow plugs in working order. If you have 3 or more burned out glow plugs your voltage will go up and...

I can't argue with your thinking. But like you said I think I may be better off with the broker with a longer haul. I am just trying to get my budget down on how much to bid vs total cost and what to kind of experience may expect. I would like to deal with the local base here but prices seem...

off topic but I have to ask. Adventure Driven??? I seem to remember that name... are you the same folks that did stuff with Jared Polin?

There is some wise info there. Saying in the maintenance industry... If it ain't broke don't fix it... Another saying... Fix it till its broke.

I am not yet an owner but I am on the wet side... Snohomish/king county area. While I haven't worked on one of these yet I am an electronic tech and good are electrical troubleshooting. If anybody needs some help i might be able to give a hand. I have worked on electrical systems on CUCVs HMMWVs...

This seems to be export controlled or ITAR. Has anybody purchased these? Also are these the 3.07 ratio?

I have been looking at a few at the usual places. I know shipping is not cheap and I am not looking for talk about that. What I would like to know is your experience. Like if one LMTV needs a jump start. Is this something the shipping company can do? Will the usual auction places give any help...

I have been looking and I am sure I missed it but is there a place that has bed dimensions? Mainly the M1078 and M1083 but other variants are also welcome. I tried to post some questions but got a message that said a mod needed to approve the post. Have I violated some rule?

I believe that it's because all of the smaller cities/counties and Indian tribes use the DRMO heavily and simple supply and demand. I always thought stuff out of Fort Lewis went for a higher price given the condition compared to places like Yermo/Barstow or Hill.

Wet side.

Govplanet is something new to me... and I am sure they are another contractor and all... Did you have your MTV shipped or did you pick it up yourself? I see a few out of my AO and was wondering how well shipping works. What about their inspection report? Would you call it fair?

Haven't got to the rules of this place... So I guess i'll IM you about price and all a bit later. The M1084 have the crane? and if I read right the A1 has the electronic engine? C7 is it?

Thank you for the link to the TMs... Even more stuff to read... I have a question... is the running gear/chassis the same between the 2.5 - 5 ton? I know there's another axe and all but are parts interchangeable? Also want to know how close the TMs are. About the only place I can inspect DRMO...

Hello there! First time posting to this forum. I hope I don't sound too strange or if I have missed something when I ask questions about the FMTVs. I think I may want to get me one of these things and have just starting to read about them. Is there a good place to start and find out what too...

First off let me say this is my first post... So if I sound like a nooby... well... I am. However, I have been working on the CUCV series since 1994 when I got my first M1008. Anyway, I am looking for the correct front seats for the M1009 blazer D3. I have M1010 front seats in there now. Does...
