First off love the thread keep it up, I look forward to your updates. Your fabrication skills continually impress me and i really like the ease of fill of that fresh water fill port. Would be cool if the air bags in the rear could individually and possibly automatically adjust to the 1600 pounds...

I have been following this thread for sometime now and I still think you have the best looking lmtv. Keep up the great work and I can't wait to see more progress pics. FYI I am copying a lot of your details and design on the cab interior. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

What type of padding are you using in that picture under your carpet?

No not yet but I have plans to reinforce it soon. Just going to be a simple metal backing plate with nuts welded onto it. This was just a test fit to check for height. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Looks like great minds think alike. We started working on installing some electric heated mirrors off a MRAP. Also had to insert an EZ LOK into the transmission pan since one of the test ports was stripped out and it was steadily dripping out oil. This week we will be doing one of a few oil...

Yea that makes sense to me. I guess that would explain the melted grounding bolt that I had to replace and the tcm that was smoking when it got any power. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

That is a ground. I had it off to clean it and replace the bolt and washer that was holding it down. I don't know if this jumper wire is what did all the damage to my truck but something blew up the transmission controller and took 2 solenoids in the transmission with it. Sent from my iPhone...

After a year of electrical tracing, leaking fuel hoses, terminal cleaning, transmission work and replacing various parts I finally got my m1078 to start for the first time. Final issue was that someone had put a jumper on the 24v load and the 24v battery terminals on the load battery control...

If I was in Florida I would have picked them up the day you posted this but TN is just too far. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

I think you are talking about the eyes that are on the ends of the cables and they are the factory wires and eyes.

I used terminals that were the Military style from Grainer. The cables that had to be replaced were all off other LMTVs. https://www.grainger.com/product/QUICK-CABLE-Military-Terminal-5LMP5?findingMethod=orderHistory

The battery terminals have all been cleaned and replaced where needed. I will check the main ground to the starter tomorrow night. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

I am currently working on a 1997 m1078 with a cat 3116 and a wtec II transmission controller. When I flip on the master power switch, the lights illuminate as they should but when I press the starter button it sounds like the starter begins to turn over but then all of the lights/power go out...

When will more of these be posted for sale? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Yes I would be interested. My truck still doesn’t have door handles and this kit is much cheaper than getting the parts direct from styer. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
