I had the same problem on my P22. Different engine but the fuel lines rot from the inside out and swell on the inside causing flow restriction and eventual blockage. Hope this helps.

Do these dump trucks come with this type of brake? Read about fitting a replacement in one of the TM's but haven't noticed any of the ones for sale have a switch for this????

Forget the emissions requirements, can you register these for road use in CA? Has anyone here done that yet or at least inquired?

I would think that a Detroit Diesel shop would be able to work on the engine if needed. Are you going to use this on public roads? Have you tried registering it yet? I think CA has truck emissions regulations that a MK48 won't pass. Where are you going to get spares form? Oshkosh won't sell to...

How many did you buy? Some went for two grand ish.......Lots of supply, not much demand...econ 101.

Has anyone here bought an LVS FPU from Gl that actually works and isn't a large paperweight? I'm interested in the next auction but don't want to do a complete engine rebuild and spend the next 2 years buying new parts at new part prices.

Over 1000 of the LVS 's were delivered to the Marines........wonder how many will end up on GL?

I'm sure there are, only problem is, why would you want one if you don't have the trailer...they're pretty much useless without one. Most of the trailers that were sold in the Socal area ended up as scrap metal. From reading the posts here it looks like the few that are left aren't up for sale...

at least 60 more coming thru......think 5g's should be max for these

So how much for the real deal towbars?

I ended up making my own hitches. TIG welded and mighty fine. Looked for the real deal for a long time ....no luck.

PM sent

If you can measure the end plate size, the hole spacing on the end plates (centre to centre) and then the hole spacing between the end plates (centre to centre) I can fabricate some stout A arm towbars in my shop, might even make 2 and only charge you materials cost.........it's a lot cheaper...

probably went cheap because they have no front hitches and are therefore very expensive to move. If they had a front hitch...... anyone selling front hitches???
