    Lmtv starter

    Well, that's one I've never heard of. Ive never seen anything like this happen before, so I was hoping on an lmtv particular issue. Maybe i can check. It's in a field with flat tires. The cab doesn't tilt and I can't get under it.

    I have both filters. I got about 9mpg when the truck was a virgin. Now that I have added 10,000 lbs of weight to it, it has dropped.

    m-925 transport Syracuse to San Antonio

    Thanks for the offers. My main concern is a breakdown on the way. I'm welding another pulley to my boom this week, to mount a T-bar to the rear of the truck. I will use my load line as a tow truck, and tow my GMC behind me. 2,000 miles, is a long way, and anything can happen. My girl's aunt...

    CTIS change over

    Well, the buttons don't always work, and I thought that if I put a pressure gauge in the dash and a 3-position switch; it would be better. I'm not at all familiar with the wiring on these, but I'm learning.

    I haven't seen an article regarding changing the CTIS system over to manual. Has it ever been done?

    Remote AC

    The problem I see, is that it is only 6,600BTU. The average ceiling mounted a/c unit is about 16,000btu.

    I have all of the TPS parts coming. I believe that it's better to do it right, and not need it; then to need it , and not have it! I bought the crane, as a whole operating truck back in 07 when the market was busy, and there weren't many for sale; now there are many for sale, and no work!

    almost done

    Thanks men. I plan on taking it to Texas to work in the oil fields, or on ranches, where others fear to tread. I have 66 ft. on main boom, and 27 ft. on jib, for a total of 93' hook height. Having a second shoulder surgery next week, so I will be out of commission till I take my cdl test in it...

    Hmmwv overheating...sort of...

    Like I said. I don't know squat about the military versions, but the coolant won't circulate in a civilian version of a 6.5 without the cap installed. They only circulate under pressure. I had problems with mine, overheating till the day it died.

    Hmmwv overheating...sort of...

    In GM trucks, the coolant system was upgraded in 1996 to a larger water pump and dual thermostats. This set up made a difference in the pickups, and there is a kit to convert to a duramax fan and clutch, as well. The 6.5's in trucks, always ran hot. The engineers determined that the radiator had...

    Insurance

    I just purchased an m925a2. I'm trying to get insurance for it and am having a hard time getting an affordable policy. I searched here a bit, but didn't find a post on this subject.
