    Max forestry tool …. Are they any good?

    You mean the MaxAx? Basically a cute tool. If you need to cut wood, grab your Stihl.

    Red winch light?

    Ah, like most stuff on FB, that is a load of crap. The Army did not mount red lights on winches. Red lights facing forward are illegal almost everywhere.

    LMTV Cargo Cover install questions

    Yuck she has the first gen setup. No spring loaded nubs. Assembling this would be difficult if you had 8 arms. The tubes go between the uprights, and at the same time through the wrapped ends of the leaf spring looking pieces. Check the TM for a procedure.

    LBCD replacement due to loose studs. CARNAGE!!

    Help me understand this folks: Alternators have been able to protect themselves from overloads since the first Delco back in the 60's. Why all of a sudden do these Niehoffs need this external device with all the "limp home" isolation silliness? No other vehicle has this thing.

    Operation: Ethel. Kendelrios M37 (re)build thread

    Chances are the 100 amp system has been replaced with the 25 amp system. The 100 amp system was not very reliable, especially the rectifier in the grille. The star is supposed to point forward. The heater under the dash is aftermarket. Can't wait to see you fix it up like the 5 ton. This...

    Operation: Ethel. Kendelrios M37 (re)build thread

    Truck was restored to include sandblast and paint at some point, then they left it in the weather for 20 years. Sad. Got some cowl rust, fixable. See the off center device behind the front grille? That is the selenium rectifier, part of the 100 amp charging system, which was installed on...

    The battery disconnect is internal to the LBCD or the solenoid pair over by the batteries?

    The colors in that washrack photo are absolutely perfect. That is 24087 perfection.

    2003 M1078A1 12v Help!

    Yes the cooling fins box is the POS LBCD. With your voltmeter, see if 24 and 12 volts are going into and out of that thing. Seach in the FMTV forum using key words “LBCD” or “LOAD BATTERY CONTROL DEVICE” etc.

    2003 M1078A1 12v Help!

    Where the battery box disconnect switch is, remove the cover, inside there are two solenoid relays, one for 12 volts and one for 24 volts. Start by checking to see if the relays are powering up and if 12 volts are going in and out of the terminals. If all is good there, next area to inspect...

    1952 M37

    M37s are great trucks, mainstay light cargo truck for all 4 branches from ‘51 until late 70’s. Top speed around 50 against the governor.

    M38A1 fuel line to pick-up

    The in-tank filter was some kind of porous cylinder that is no longer available. Suggest eliminate it and install a commercial in-line filter before the fuel pump.

    RFID tag. Big Brother thing. Same as the tags on clothes they have to remove when you buy lest the alarm goes off. For tracking equipment.

    LBCD replacement due to loose studs. CARNAGE!!

    I thought these had diodes inside? Someone explain what capacitors are doing in there? Sorry CE Niehoff, this thing is not one of your better ideas.

    Emergency lmtv brake help

    Most likely the purge valve under the dryer. Super easy to disassemble in place and clean ice and gook out.

    Torque rod stud doesn't fit all the way into new rear trunnion opening

    I would say that if the taper dimensions on the new trunnion holes do not match your old trunnion, the new part was machined wrong! Honing it would take forever and a day.
