I was just looking at parts for the M1078 and the Universals if I saw right are also used in many other trucks and around $79.00 each??
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
LMTVs use 5-279x joints. Common 1610 joints. Fairly cheap at truck parts placesI was just looking at parts for the M1078 and the Universals if I saw right are also used in many other trucks and around $79.00 each??
Yes.So the lug nuts on the left side of the truck loosen by turning to the right?
In all seriousness, just look at the threads closely. You can see the direction they will push the lug nut if you take a moment and think about it.How can I tell which ones loosen which direction?
You just saved me hours of replacing studs. I definitely would have made that mistake. Thank you.Yes.

This is what one looks like when you don't look closely enough before apply 1600 ft-lb's by hanging off the end of an 8' breaker bar and really yarding on it, and then finding out the whole left hand thread thing afterward:
You can see a slight tilt in the threads which remain, with the left side of a given thread slanting closer toward the stud head. Left hand thread.

Thankfully I only allowed myself to work on one at a time. Happy to prevent a headache for someone else!You just saved me hours of replacing studs. I definitely would have made that mistake. Thank you.
as in you put fingernail in between threads and run the thread to see which way it goes orrr...... is there something else your referring too??Sounds funny but I use a fingernail to check the thread direction.
Yes follow the thread at the end with my finger nail. My old eyes are not as good as they used to be.as in you put fingernail in between threads and run the thread to see which way it goes orrr...... is there something else your referring too??
here is video of info too. Of course it would be opposite for what is shown in below video for the stud because you would be looking at stud in different orientation than what is being shown in video
someone asked.... so here it is
