It looks like we are leaving Tuesday, and will be there on Wednesday in the Dispersed Camping Area, north of the Vendor Area. Pointman

We've had tickets since February. Purpose for going is to learn and catch up with our ADV friends on the 2 wheel side. Want to absorb as much as possible, before we begin our Hab build. Probably getting there Wednesday, so look for us! Pointman

Wow, nothing for sale on FMTV Trucks parts site... How about a simple steering wheel adapter? Pointman

I've always thought it would be great to have the 'wind wing' in the front doors for added ventilation. I would imagine these would need to be sourced from MAN in Europe though.. Pointman

Guess I better get back to the gym, eh? Pointman

I am nearly finished with my steering wheel upgrade. We are going with a Forever Sharp 18". I used a stock hub removed from a BTS stock steering wheel. The new adapter is being machined to mate up to the new steering wheel. I'll post up some pics when done. Pointman

Can anyone tell me where in the TM it covers replacement of the front third member? I must be 1078 TM challenged, but am not having much luck locating it.. Pointman

We're headed to Overland Expo in May. Venue is just north of Flagstaff, so it should be cool at night. Pointman

We've got our tickets, and wondered who else may be headed to OE, West in May? We re heading down the Wednesday before from Gardnerville, Nevada in our M-1078.:clinto: Pointman https://www.overlandexpo.com/tickets-west/#experience

Thanks Snowtrac. I looked up Blaylock Turbos and just had a pleasant conversation with Jim Blaylock, the owner. I gave him my engine number (3116) and he promised to follow up with additional information on their proprietary technology, the 'switch blade' turbo. This is a boost limiting device...

Can we ask who helped you with the turbo? Any overheating issues so far? Pointman

Those are not fuses, they are circuit breakers.. Pointman

50 foot/lbs, per Spicer...Use loctite red... Pointman

Works perfectly, airs up , airs down. Very happy with the computer-less setup. Infinite pressure variations and works every time! Pointman

Front Drive Shaft - Epilogue More positive news. I received the front prop-shaft back last Wednesday and installed it before we got a bit of snow. It was verified by the shop that it was not only out-of-time, but also out of balance! My co-pilot and I put 40 miles on the newly installed setup...

I was asked to leave a link to a post showing my set up for this: https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?162326-LMTV-CTIS-Question&p=2109087&viewfull=1#post2109087 I will up date this setup later with the more flexible 3/8 DOT tubing and the 3/8" push-on fittings. Pointman

Manual CTIS I've been running my CTIS in manual mode for over a year and would never go back to the computer setup. I did this primarily for reliability in the field, and flexibility in what pressures I can select. Be careful with using too small a fitting as it will limit your fill times. I...

One of the best improvements we have made to the cab. I would say yes before any long trip. Pointman

Made a huge difference. Between the bottom of the cab and inside, I installed around 40 sq/ft. I can almost carry on a conversation inside while driving. Thinking about adding music now. Pointman

Front Prop Shaft, Finale.. Luckily I had some meetings in Reno this morning, so I dropped off the front prop shaft at Drive Line & Gear around 11:30 am. It was ready by 2:30 pm! Per the attached photo, this is what an 'out-of-time' shaft looks like. The yokes must be timed to cross over each...
