    Finding LMTV part numbers?

    thank you. This is exactly what I was looking for. I went over to the TM section and downloaded everything listed. I had no idea there were piles more. :goodjob:

    LMTV SRW intended use

    Doing some reading it looks like a 3 or 4 to one puly system using a snatch block would generate enough pulling force to get the truck moving even in neutral. I need to look into strength of the steel rope. there are some clever tricks to use 5 pullies to generate 12:1 pull. It's used for rock...

    Water/Methanol Injection, anyone??

    Posts on the 3126 people are reporting 30-35 psi at max load uphill. Cat can read your engine serial and tell you what boost it's set to.

    LMTV SRW intended use

    I have just discovered the Self Recovery Winch is rated at 11k lb max pull and the LMTV weighs 22k without any cargo. Even more striking it's called a Self Recovery Winch which suggests you use it to recover yourself (not another vehicle). This seems unlikely because the vehicle must be in...

    Is there any kind of exploded parts diagram that list the NSN for parts on the LMTV. What is the procedure for finding this kind of information?

    LMTV Def tank?

    I've just searched all the TM I have and none of them cover operating the winch itself. How do I find the correct TM?

    LMTV Def tank?

    I do plan on retaining the winch functionality. From my Internet reading it looks like you can deploy it front or rear which is very unique and desirable feature. It's also PTO powered not electrical which makes long winching safe (no melting your synthetic rope). The methanol system can use...

    LMTV Def tank?

    Looking at auction sites I see tanks in the $300-$500 range. I'm assuming there is a pump and other equipment in the tank because I see multi pin connectors in them. Not entirely sure if I need/want all that stuff. I'll do more digging. It does look like a conventional tank is most likely a very...

    LMTV Def tank?

    I think that might be a safe bet. Truck I bought has the optional winch and I see the tank in the photos. (I haven't gotten my truck yet) :) As far as using a modern DEF tank. I think that's a great idea. The idea of using the factory tank is that it already has mounting hardware and who knows...

    LMTV Def tank?

    Looking at photos of newer LMTV I see on the driver's side a tank just in front of the battery box. It looks like a Def tank for modern diesels. Is that what it is? I'm looking into methanol/water injection. I think that might make a great tank for that. Can anyone help me find one? Sent from...

    Water/Methanol Injection, anyone??

    I just contacted banks. They recommend their kit. Looks like Snowperformance also has a kit. Also found videos and links to GMC topkick tuners that run these systems. From all that research it looks pretty common. It also looks fairly safe because it does not change the timing at all. If you...

    FMTV High Speed Gears

    I'm very interested in doing the high speed gear upgrade. What is the best way for me to get these gears? Is buying a complete axle assembly and getting it shipped/delivered still the only option?

    This post has peaked my interest. I want some kind of restocked and high speed gears for certain. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using Tapatalk

    Roll Cage for Cab

    I see the protection in your profile picture. That makes sense how it works. It's good to here others are thinking about the issues. I agree that if you want some kind of Exo armor it would both need to be very strong and likely very heavy. Can you tell me more about how ambulance boxes are...
