    102664A Air dryer desiccant cartridge...anyone know commercial part #?

    Has anyone found a source for an air dryer rebuild kit for the first generation air dryers on the lmtv? Mine leaks and I'd prefer to replace the gaskets in it over buying a complete new one even if it is an upgrade. I may be taking mine apart and taking it into a place to see if I can find...

    LMTV Transmission won't engage

    Haha that would be the problem. I put it in high then into drive check the front drive line to see if it was turning and sure enough it was definitely turning so I guessed if one drive shaft is not attached he sends all the power to it. I thought that might be the problem that's what I get for...

    LMTV Transmission won't engage

    I can push the mode button so that the mode is on which means it's in low gear and it will drive just fine through all five gears in low. If I then push the mode button to put it into high gear whether it's already in law or a neutral then the truck won't do anything I can hear the transmission...

    LMTV Transmission won't engage

    My lmtv M1078 will not go into high. I can drive in lo just fine but when switched into high the truck won't move. I can hear the transmission shift into great and the engine rpms will go up but the truck won't move. Any solutions on what to do to fix it? Thanks!

    LMTV Transmission Issues

    To remove the caps on my U-joint I popped the top caps off breaking the weld and use a steering wheel puller to press out the U joint. The bolts that come with a steering wheel puller thread perfectly into the holes on the shaft. Make sure you thread them in all the way cuz you don't want to...

    driveshaft removal

    Thanks guys! Looks like Autozone has them so if an emergency situation occurred you could go there to get one but at nearly $400 ouch I'll pop the top part of the caps off and use a steering wheel puller. The link provided is a much better option when comparing it to what Autozone wants. Thanks...

    driveshaft removal

    One thing that I did when removing my drive shaft was purchase a steering wheel puller kit. I did this because the caps busted off on the U-joints so I had no way of getting it out other than trying to pound them out with a hammer which I didn't want to do cuz I didn't want to damage the gears...

    shifting and blinkers

    I'm on my way there to fix the hole I've tried JB Weld already and it doesn't stick for nothing I clean the surface really good but the JB Weld likes to lift off once the transmission warms up. Thanks for the info on the shifting/ key pad issue.

    shifting and blinkers

    So I just picked up an lmtv and when I push the D button to put it into drive the highest gear it shows it can go into is 5th gear. I'm not sure what's going on with it. I push the up Arrow to see if I could increase it to be able to go into a higher gear but it does nothing. I press the mode...

    Lmtv starter

    I have a 97 m1078 that has starter issues. The problem I have is when I push the starter button all I hear is a small click and the starter does absolutely nothing. I can jump the starter and it will fire right up. The clicking sound is the sound that you would hear from a relay clicking on and...
