    Dual fuel tanks on M1078?

    I would agree.. Even air brake control valves are going composite, so AC either has done their job in designing this, or they have really high limits on their product liability.. Pointman

    Dual fuel tanks on M1078?

    I just found the other thread you mentioned, thanks. It appears that cutting and welding one of these would be no problem to make one fit next to the stock tank. I recall my old Chevy K-10 pickup having an electric valve switch that would let me select between tanks. I'll have to see if that...

    M1078 camper in the Glamis dunes Thanksgiving 2016

    PM me for my Facebook page info. I love driving this around. New Years day we headed down towards Bodie to check out the recent Earthquake damage. It works well on trails. I did a manual conversion on the CTIS and it works like a charm all the time now. I bought this from a private party in...

    How do you convert the 11 digit VIN to 17 ? on FMTV

    DMV in Carson City Nevada (Headquarters) had no problem with the short VIN. They freaked out when I told them that the MSRP was $106,000 or thereabouts. After two consultations, I had it registered at the lowest amount they have on the chart, so it was pretty cheap. Pointman

I have had it up in some gnarly sierra trails and...

    LMTV cab latch

    I had trouble with mine not fully latching. I replaced the 'O' ring on the cab latch piston to eliminate that as an issue. Then, I made sure the cab was seated fully on the saddle then adjusted the bracket on the back of the cab, making sure everything was fully seated on the latch. Works like a...
