10-4 on parts availability. So far, I have been able to find most of the things I've needed. As DSD277 said, Google has found a few things and there are actually some commercial/industry websites that will search and cross-reference part numbers and then solicit prices for you. I found most...

No black plastic box that says Allison. So I guess it is a III. I've seen some of the negatives as well. I guess some people just can't accept change. It's like muscle car guys vs. super cars, NASCAR vs. F1, etc. I like and respect it all. I want to learn as much about the MTV series...

Thanks for the info! I will definitely review your project. As for the batteries, I didn't do 6tl because of the cost. I couldn't find anyone locally with any 6tl blems. I thought of trying two, but being my first crack at an MTV I could just see something driving me crazy because of a wacky...

Ok. So, I went to the starter relay and checked the supply side. Got 25V. Then I switched my connections to the starter side, went to hit the start button and got nothing. Rechecked my connections, still nothing. Thought I'd try once more for clarity, my alligator clip slipped, shorted, and...

Just a quick picking of the brains before I start any unnecessary troubleshooting. I am resurrecting an M1078. Installed four new 31 series batteries, all new circuit breakers, semiconductors, and relays. She's breathing, but won't even try to crank. All four batteries show 12 volts, volt...

Really? Interesting. I wonder what the difference in tire size and pressures is? Must be really close. I just found a brand new M1078 unit for $200. So, it won't be an issue on this truck, but its still good info for the future.

No luck cross-referencing. Thoughts, sources? Thanks.

OK folks, I'm gonna throw something out here that I already believe I know the answer too, but since this is the first time I've needed one I want some verification. Are the Eaton CTIS ECU units interchangeable. I need one for an M1078, but have had no joy locating one for anywhere less than...

FMTV's are still harder to come by, but a few do show up through the government auction sites. I've seen three over the past few months. One tractor (M1088), one 5 ton transport (M1084, that's the one with the crane lift on the back, very cool), and one dump truck (M1090). The dumper and the...

So sgtinf, if I get you my key code, can you make me a key? What would be the cost?

Just purchased my first LMTV. Not running (no batteries), but tires up. Need it brought from the GL yard on Moreland AVE. to just outside Decatur off of E. Ponce De Leon. Thanks.

Thanks for the feedback guys! Wreckerman893, I actually know Clinto. In fact, I need to go see him as I have a part of his. He is a wealth of knowledge and has shared a lot with me. That said, I always like a variety of perspectives and experiences. Doesn't mean I'll listen, but at least...

I'm new here and to these vehicles. However, I'm not new to cars; Restored my first car at age 17 and worked in the automotive business for a few years. I also worked on Navy planes for eight years and am currently restoring an M715. My point is that I have some mechanical skills (some - wife...
