    Operation "URGENT RESTORATION"

    Painting is the easy part. It's the amazing work that got to it ready to paint which is impressive.

    I have joined the club ! And yes I have lost my mine !

    Even with having to pay shipping those are a pretty good find. I would have loved those when I was doing my '57 F100.

    ROLL CALL: "West Texas Detachment" Identify Yourselves, Please.

    Ft Bliss? That would be great for the Big Bend get togethers! Also it'd let me shop for vehicles out there (it's all about me you know :) )

    LMTV Air Conditioner AC Main Unit Gen1 and Gen2 Details

    It likely will at the vent. Unfortunately you'll be sitting about 3' from the vent and by the time it hits you it'll kind of coolish. At least that's the way mine is.

    LMTV Air Conditioner AC Main Unit Gen1 and Gen2 Details

    Mine is a gen 1 unit so not sure if there is a difference. We wired the condenser fans to run full time when the unit was on. Not sure why your compressor isn't cycling on though.

    Working on the M1078 LMTV

    Guess what I posted was the NSN not the p/n. The pic I posted was still attached to the fan clutch at an Army installation earlier this year.

    Working on the M1078 LMTV

    Here's a pic with the fan clutch p/n. I got my new fan blade off eBay but don't see any there currently. The parts TM (as well as all others) are available under the Technical Manual section at the top of the site page.

    Big Bend NP Get Together?

    We're planning another trip this Oct. No MV is necessary if you just want to come and hang out.

    Registering my deuce in Texas

    This would be correct. I did the same thing with a '57 Ford pickup with an AL BOS and registration. Walked into the TX DMV and provided paperwork and an application for a TX title and had the title 6 weeks later. It was actually much easier than dealing with an SF-97.

    Working on the M1078 LMTV

    Ok got it all reinstalled and working like it should. Thanks to Coffey1 and Andyrv6av8r for all the assistance. My next problem is I went to start the deuce for it's monthly warm up and when I hit the power and the low air buzzer came on I had a swarm of wasps fly out from under the dash...

    Adventure Driven's photos and videos of their M1079

    I've found it helpful to have an engine hoist on hand when changing those in the event you drop it flat on the ground :). Also a couple of short pieces of 1" OD pipe helps lift them onto the hubs. Line the wheels up, stick the pipe through the lug holes and over the lugs, pick up and slide the...

    Working on the M1078 LMTV

    I think the LMTV is 55psi highway but I've been wrong before. I like the higher psi as it keeps tire temps down. Cold max on these tires is 95psi so I'm well below that. Last mpg I calculated I was at about 6.7 and haven't bothered checking since.

    Working on the M1078 LMTV

    You should come down and join in the fun! However, if this new unit doesn't do the trick the CTIS is staying unplugged. It's not that important to me as I rarely drive off road and if I do I can always air down manually. It's actually a little better that way as I normally run 70psi in my...

    Working on the M1078 LMTV

    So I got a replacement PCU for the CTIS hoping it would resolve my issues with the air dumping. I got it last week but didn't try swapping it out knowing that there's ALWAYS issues when you do something like this and I didn't want it down for the USAA event. Today I started on it and whaddaya...

    Working on the M1078 LMTV

    Food was great but I restrained myself for the most part. Had a grilled chicken kabob and some corn on the cob (they dipped it in a vat of melted butter state fair style) and finished it off with a s'mores brownie. We had 4 trucks set up, mine a M35A2, a MB, and a M37. Lots of nice folks to talk...

    Operation "URGENT RESTORATION"

    Looks great! Glad you were able to find everything you needed. Every time I think I miss mine I go drive the M1078 and just think about climbing in/out, shifting, and steering the Goat. I'm generally smiling about then :)

    Stewart & Stevenson M1083 MTV 6x6 Bed Height?

    I got my M923A2 from a Guard unit through GovPlanet. The question is how quickly the NG is offloading FMTVs. They might not be in as big a hurry as Active units. Are you planning on transport back to AK to finish it out or have it done beforehand?

    Working on the M1078 LMTV

    I was at What-A-Burger. In and out before anyone could bother me (not that I think they would). Oh, and a lot of LEOs on here so, even though he was a wannabe cop, maybe a little more respectful to those in Blue. We're doing an event at USAA Headquarters for their Employee Family Day on...

    Working on the M1078 LMTV

    My F250 is in the shop so took the LMTV to lunch today. Actually easier to park than the Ford.
