    FMTV LMTV Tire balancing?

    The set of wheels that came with my truck had concrete hard caked on mud on the inner surface that I couldnt see till I took them off. The newer clean set drives smooth at 55 but shimmys a little at 57 but I think its more the truck than the wheels. First thing to to is put front wheels straight...

    Theft deterrence of LMTV

    Interesting. Hard to believe much air could find its way back in. I still say a fuel solenoid kill relay does the job.

    Drash/GET Perkins 20KW no fuel problem

    Break free works pretty well. I have a bunch of those gens they are nice. Beware bad crimp connections in the control box.

    Theft deterrence of LMTV

    The start button is just a simple momentary switch and can be replaced with a keyed momentary one. That being said, anyone with knowledge of the truck can go to the panel and with a paperclip jump the starter relay. You can make a kill setup with a relay that takes out the fuel solenoid power...

    Why cant I use a 12V charger on the MEP's?

    Civilian Dodge dual batts are a pair of 12 volt batteries in parallel for higher current at 12 volts. Military generator pair of 12 volt batteries are in series to get 24 volts. So you could use your charger on one battery at a time but not across both. Get a 24 volt charger.

    MEP-016B Tripping DC Control Circuit Breaker

    Drash

    Drash has great customer service even once an item is in civilian hands. They will send you pretty much any manual you ask for.

    Battery Load Controller, can it be bypassed?

    Fuel solenoid is on the fuel pump. All Diesel engines have a fuel solenoid of sort.

    98 LMTV registration in TX????

    I find the least amount of info given the better. It's a Stewart M1078 pickup truck. Same with those other AMG M998 pickup.

    Battery Load Controller, can it be bypassed?

    Come off the fuel solenoid 24 volt and come around the front of the engine to the regulator 24v post. Remove and tape up the original regulator wire.

    M1078A1, small extra cables come from the battery... Why?

    Is it a coiled wire? Could be the battery tester. Sits in the center battery hold down. I usually remove them.

    Hurricane and LMTV

    The trans control is decently seals against splash and drip but submerged for any period I think water would make its way in and cause issues. None of the dash wiring is truly mil spec waterproof. In an emergency it is what it is you can get another truck. I would be comfortable taking my truck...

    M1078 inspections needed

    You would have to pay to have a non runner hauled. Even a runner you would want to go thru all fluids and full safety check before trying to drive it any distance.

    You never know. Gotta be brave and buy one at auction.

    Engine tearing itself apart!

    At this point you should change your fan clutch and check your entire driveline for excess play.
