    !CLOSED! Cab Mount Group Buy. NEW OEM FMTV LMTV M1078, M1079, etc

    I just found this post because I've done nothing on my truck due to a back injury, so haven't been looking at things I couldn't work on. With that said "if" you do opt for additional sets I would be interested in a A0 set. If you don't, well my loss, really cool you were able to do this though.

    FMTV door handle/Lock How to make Keys or have the proper ones made.

    As a follow up I forgot to mention that as others have noted, the older Volvo key is a good blank for the original locks. Mine would have been too, but as I stated the keyways were flipped and made that blank unusable. While talking to the tech I told him a smaller locksmith said the same about...

    FMTV door handle/Lock How to make Keys or have the proper ones made.

    So perhaps just an FYI for those considering a re-key. I pulled mine and took them to one of our bigger locksmiths to have done. When I pulled them I found one of them wasn't an original, but a replacement. Now here's where things got difficult. The original lock had a key code stamped into the...

    painting over carc

    I watched a few videos of the Raptor Lining being shot outside. Certainly doesn't have the thickness of say Rhino, but if you're painting over CARC, seems like thinner would be better. I'll be curious to see how it works for you because I wanted to try this over my bumpers and a few other parts.

    painting over carc

    I'm over in the FMTV forum, but noticed your Lizard Skin usage. Are you happy with the results and did it make a big difference. Lizard skin is what I had intended on using in the 1st place, but started to get lazy and thought about just using Dyna Mat. Now I'm kinda leaning back toward the...

    Air Dryer

    As for everyone else who reads my posted reply, I apologize. My intent was not to be a jerk, especially since I can be quite sarcastic and always up for a good jab. I just don't find it necessary or in good taste to insinuate someone's not too bright due to a comment. We're all adults and should...

    Air Dryer

    Yeah, unfortunately wasn't one of my better decisions. Trying to avoid an accident on I-5, I thought it might be wise to exit and go a way I've driven many times in the past. It became very apparent, very quickly I'm not very wise. 😳

    Air Dryer

    As I drive a Kenworth daily and have been CDL licensed for 32 years, 17 years with FedEx Freight (no accidents) I'm pretty much up on the consequences of no brakes and the function of the dryer system. My point was if they can be serviced and there's nothing the newer dryers do that's beyond the...

    Air Dryer

    Great reply, I had originally thought about changing it out, but kept coming back to why. I've never heard of, or experienced a problem with the stock one. If the original one is doing the job, I cant see spending the money to have something else do the same job. I'll just pull mine apart and...

    Air Dryer

    So if the stock air dryer is easily serviced, why change and go with a dryer that takes replacement cartridges? Was or is there an issue because I haven't experienced one.

    Aftermarket gauges

    I was thinking the same thing. I also agree with preferring the mechanical as I've always liked the full sweep of the dial on mechanical. I currently use Autometer in my 1 ton and have used them in miscellaneous Mopars, but unfortunatly they aren't going to have some of the gauges. I don't think...

    Aftermarket gauges

    Has anyone on here switched out their gauges for an aftermarket like Autometer or VDO. I'm curious as to how they were wired. Did you make adapters and use original harness or did you bypass the factory and rewire. I'm really not sold on the originals, plus I'd like to add some like boost, trans...

    Cool, just need to set a time where I can pull things out.
