M1078 LMTV New Tires, thanks PCTRANS

[hcso2332]

This morning, I drove down to PCTRANS' shop in Palmetto to replace my Michelin/Goodyear mismatch tires. Pete was able to hook me up with two 95% Goodyear 395/85 R20s, so now I have four matching tires. The truck ran great down the interstate to his place. Pete was great, we only ran into a couple minor snags with the CTIS hoses/adapters.

I was also able to pick up a spare for the truck. This was the first time using the spare tire hydraulic lift system, which worked great.

I still have not any any major issues with the LMTV. I did have a problem with none of the lights working, it turned out to be a bad relay. The voltage regulator was also putting out low volts, but after I tinkered with the connectors it jumped back to normal.

Thanks again for your help Pete.

Any chance of you bringing it to the 2012 GA Rally?

It would be a big hit.

The GA Rally will be held the second week(end) in Oct. (I think).

It will be posted well in advance and there are always a bunch of FL folks attending...you should be able to covoy up with some others if you can connect up with them.
