Biggest advantage with manual CTIS is unlimited variable tire pressures, vs. pre-set... Second? Reliability of full mechanical operation vs. computer interface. Pointman

No problems with my set up. I will be changing to smaller gate valves for the setup to improve the aesthetics. Pointman

We have an active National Guard facility in Carson City that has 30+ trucks, and most are LMTV's. I'm thinking of going on the community forum and doing an advert for 'Help Wanted-3116 project' and see if I can snag a mechanic, if it gets to that point... Pointman

Smike740, Thanks for replying. The cam gear appears to be a press on arrangement. I may try and use a gear puller and heat to remove it to avoid without pulling the radiator, and all the valve gear. I do not have the special tools required to reset the fuel timing and that is scary just...

I just printed out all the TM's required to do the repair and it is daunting to say the least. I wonder if anyone has direct experience in replacing the gear case with the engine in the truck, feel free to chime in. Pulling the cam gear while leaving the cam in place would be a huge plus. TM...

Crank vs. Batteries... So, how does Tesla, Volt, etc. get it done? Pointman

I puled the nut off of my compressor today and meticulously cleaned it and the shaft with acetone before reassembling it with Red Loc-Tite. A couple of shots with the air impact and I feel good about the prospects of it staying put. Should have the beast back one the road this week. Next...

Awsomeness, Yes, well there is no one more sorry than me that I did not read those posts before setting off on our latest 'trek' to OE18'... Lets be clear, 'I' did not break it. These trucks are perfectly capable of self-breaking. I could have caught this but didn't, so my bad. aua I did get...

Yes, I had both front and rear driveshafts rebuilt and re-balanced. Now looking forward to installing my 3.07 gears. Darn house remodel has gotten in the way of any forward movement on the 1078... Pointman

After returning from OE18, I gave the beast a through wash down. On a short trip to the local dump, I noticed a small oil leak that was found to be loose flange fittings on the small oil 'pipe' between the head and the fuel governor. Closer inspection revealed this... a cracked front gear...

Chapter 5: Time to Bail... After spending the entire day Friday visiting with vendors and other LMTV folks, we back to the camping area. We had eaten lunch, and were ready for a break. Back at camp, there were still new folks being directed into the already crowded 'dispersed' camping area. I...

Remember, I said 'almost'... Fact is, that It came with two 12 v 'starter' batteries rigged in the box. We drove it home from Pennsylvania to Nevada that way. Just added the 24's to balance things out so to speak. Once I pretty up the wiring in there, I will post up pics. Pointman

I'm almost embarrassed to say I am running 4 group 24's in my rig. Two years of no issues and they are relatively inexpensive. I will add Deep Cycle units to the Hab when built. Pointman

Judging by the amount laid out on the build table, I would guess 10" total for all three lines. We used the newer Parker push-loc fittings. The whole setup is just so much nicer than the old crusty lines that were there before, and I'd swear the truck runs better... Mys total cost for...

VICTORY! Last evening (thank God the sun stays out until 9:00 pm) I installed my new priming pump/fuel-water separator and three new fuel likes (Thanks Parker Hoses in Reno!). After pumping the primer until I felt increased resistance, the truck fired up instantly. This evening I will repair...

NEVADA and Insurance. I also had to get my LMTV insured as a commercial vehicle at $1,000 per year. Thought about hauling firewood just to pay for it. I then found coverage as a classic military with the folks at Hagerty. I'm set until the hab is installed, then its a RV.. Pointman

After speaking last week on the phone with Duckworthe, we shared a few ideas as to the issues we were having with fueling. At first I thought the metal swarf in the water/fuel separator bowl may have come from the hand priming pump. (I determined this was not working last week, and ordered a new...

This was discovered through the process of elimination. TL28 and TL29 were clearly labeled. TL66 was the only lead left. It could have been an update done after the TM was printed. It works, so I went with it. If anyone has an updated schematic page, please share, thanks. Pointman

Ok folks, I found it.. In the schematic for the Solenoid wiring, lead TL28 and TL66 are 'hot', and attach to one post. The other post is ground and TL29 attaches to that. This is on an A0 model, your truck may vary. Pointman

Awesomeness, Sorry If I was not clear on this. In the 3116, fuel comes up from the tank to the Fuel/Water separator on its way to the governor. The bracket which holds the spin-on filter and drain bowl includes a 'hand pump' for priming the system. The part, as described on the popular on-line...
