    Looking for picts or video of FMTVs moving through deep snow : )

    We havent had any deep snow here since I have had lmtvs unfortunately. The m923a2 plows thru deep snow on xc tire pressure setting.

    FMTV Battery hook up diagram

    Closest to the bus looks like the ground cable, would have to see a better pic of the 3rd though, next one in is the 12v that bridges the batts.

    M1088 - Can antilock brakes be added ?

    You will want to drive slow and cautiously in the snow. ABS or not its a big heavy truck. Dropping tire pressure will help in the snow. Not much helps on ice unless you have studs or chains.

    Windshield replacement M1088

    You might try cleaning it with clay bar and then possibly polishing it. I have seen them scuffed from lousy wiper blades. On a nice warm day you can push the old one out. You will want to reuse the seal so be careful. The new one will push in and you can use a string to go around and work it all...

    FMTV Battery hook up diagram

    24v positive is towards the back, 12v lead goes left to right between the 2 battery rows and the lead at the outer end of the batt box is the negative.

    Tow bar foot for LMTV ?

    They should work with the lower hole on the front shackle mounts. I have used the older style m939 shackles in the lower holes.

    M1088 - Can antilock brakes be added ?

    I think it would be cheaper to sell yours and put that money and a bit more towards an A1 truck if abs is important to you.

    A few mods done to my 1078

    I can reach under the drivers wheel well with a screwdriver and jump the aux solenoid. It's easier than jumping the start relay.

    What does the start / inhibit switch do in the electric box?

    It inhibits starting. I don't know why that feature is there.

    LMTV tires

    I wonder if the all wheel drive on the Lmtv contributes to faster on road wear.

    A few mods done to my 1078

    The keyed ign is nice you can park and drain the air and the average meddling hands cant start the truck and build air. If someone knows the truck thats a different story.

    A few mods done to my 1078

    You can use any momentary switch. Its just 2 spade contacts.

    LMTV tires

    Best to find tires close to you. Freight gets expensive.

    New guy with questions here!

    I can title it. In CT you dont need one. I can do like the title services do and just title it in the buyers name. Easy to do.

    LMTV tires

    Paved road use will eat up tires fast. The Goodyears seem to last a bit longer. I have found Michelins dont age as well as the Goodyears. The Michelins are known to be a bit more aggressive offroad. I dont do much offroading here in CT I would end up stuck between 2 trees. Will

    New guy with questions here!

    I have one here in CT that runs and drives well. The bed is a bit high for quads you would need a long ramp it sits at around 5 feet. I drive around with my kids they love the trucks. LMTVs have bucket style seats with lap and shoulder belt.

    Anybody install a tach that is driven be the Alt. ?

    The factory signal should be set to work with a factory tach. You would have to calibrate a universal tach yourself. They usually come with instructions. I have some Datcon universal tachs just havent gotten around to trying one yet.
