Thanks

Batteries aren't getting charged and I don't have 28 volts (18-19) coming off the alternator. 2600 hours on the Hobbs and it looks like original from the rebuild in 2012 when it had 2.4 hours. on the Hobbs

I may be looking at a falling alternator. Has anyone found an aftermarket that works? I will probably get mine rebuilt, but thinking it may be worthwhile to have a spare (or put the new one on and rebuild the other for a spare)

Nice.....cant wait to see it installed! One of those mods you hope you never have to use

They are very noisy and noticeable when they come on. I believe they are air activated if I remember correctly. Ronmar??

I will be at Plymouth with an M1078 (Find the kitchen trailer). I agree with all that has been said above. Don't rush in yet, talk to the folks that have been building, repairing and driving these MV's for years. I have learned much from these pages, but even more in person. The greatest thing...

WWRD99...do you have a link or name for the tool as I would like to get one too.

And full of sharks if you're not careful!!

And just so you know, a post about an M1078 should be under FMTV present day conflict vehicles. Especially if you have more questions pertaining to an M1078.

Browsing the interweb tonight I ran across this........ The Black Rifle Coffee LMTV: The Most Insane Food Truck in America (freerangeamerican.us) (69) Black Rifle Coffee LMTV: Coming To A City Near You - YouTube

Yes, Technical Manuals (TM's). They are located free on this website for most vehicles. Private party was a collector, not a business that rebuilds and repairs them. Just a guy who took care of his truck

Well, I am nowhere near the expert here but have enjoyed owning a M1078 for about a year now. I am in no way an expert mechanic, but I can follow a TM to troubleshoot some of the common problems I have found so far. I got lucky in that I bought a truck from a private party that was well taken...

And don't forget to download the TM's so people won't need to remind you. (Not naming any names here LOL)

Welcome.....there are also a few members here who have done some excellent YouTube build videos for repairs and modifications. I am sure they will chime in at some point with links of their stuff, but they do some great work and have helped explain and show some common fixes.

Well, to be honest I didn't keep digging. I will check later this week when I get back out there.

So, I recently acquired a trailer mounted MEP 803A. I haven't even had time yet to change out all the fluids and do my checks, but it seems to run strong (2500 hours). With another big weather system rolling in this weekend, and the weather being nice today, I decided to go look through a couple...

Hello from northern California! LMTV owner here as well

I had one of these but have never seen that hitch on a military trailer. Switching back to the military will probably shave a few pounds off that tongue weight LOL. Good luck, I wish I never sold mine now as I really have a use for one at my new property.

Did you take any pictures of the aux fuel line and its connection? I am a visual guy and would like to see what I might be trying to hunt down. Thanks

Doesn't look like that one even saw service, the paint in the bed is not all rubbed off. Alo looks like a complete cargo cover to boot. How did that escape for only 650 LOL. Nice catch on that one. I was up at Doyle a few weeks ago, they have a ton of these up there.
