    FMTV Rear Tire Travel

    I'm running the shipping container directly on top of the frame rails (with 3/8 of an inch plastic rub rail). Truck is just over 30,000 lb, have never been able to get the tires to rub on the habitat, and I've tried flexing it out. This is with the five leaf spring pack, so keep that in mind.

    Just won an auction - M1088A1

    Abs are press fit and can be removed with pliers. Often antisoeze is used for easier removal

    Just won an auction - M1088A1

    If you use the brakes a lot, you will drop pressure but the compressor should build the pressure back up pretty quickly. Fuel lines are supply, return, and vent. Just a service item but the fuel hoses in these things rot easily, my 2007 return line was falling apart. They can be replaced by...

    What have you done to your FMTV or LMTV today

    I just got a egt derate code on stock turbo ..but also had a boost sensor error as well as injector 5 current error. Haven't done the 370 tune but with the hills here and my weight over 30k making me a little nervous. May have a bad boost sensor (atmospheric failed recently) and that may have...

    CTIS pressure settings increase - no programming, transducer, or module required.

    That all sounds normal. I can't recall if HWY ever drops pressure....not that you would ever really need to as it's the highest pressure setting. The over speed light will appear when in a lower mode and traveling too fast for the pressure. After a little while (I don't recall how long but its...

    From fire truck to MTV

    Haven't been doing any modifications to the truck, except added an exterior fresh water tank connection. Been going on lots of adventures though so it's photo dump time.

    So the MTVR adventure begins

    Haven't spent a ton of time on the truck lately with the kids being out of school for the summer and going on lots of trips with the FMTV camper. Did get the cab taken apart a bit to get all the needed measurements and have modeled up the design a little. Going with a cabover setup, with an...

    M1078A1R Offroad Behavior/Question

    That does sound more significant than any noises I've gotten, I'm A1R as well. I'm on a m1096 chassis though, so I have a high pinion diff(I think that was 2007 and later for the lmtvs) and probably a longer rear driveshaft.

    M1078A1R Offroad Behavior/Question

    I get a clunking from the front under sharp turns/high load, it's from the front leaves shifting around a little. I usually only does it once in a turn as the springs "seat" in their new location. Have had this on many leaf spring vehicles. I can get this when not in mode - although mode will...
