Keith_J was by this afternoon and may have figured the issue on the fan. His hypothesis is that the coolant was too low causing an air pocket at the sensor so the fan didn't know to come on. After it had cooled and I added distilled water everything started working again. Now the question is why...

Every time you tilt the cab give the fan a shake and make sure it's secure. The original style fan has an aluminum hub and mine sheared off at about 2500rpm sending the fan through the radiator. If it's loose, check to see if it's the bolts (and add thread locker to them) or if the hub is...

Coming home from the Floresville Peanut Festival parade yesterday I had an overheating issue with the M1078 because the fan was not cycling on. After a couple of hours sidelined in a parking lot I got back on the road and the fan mysteriously started working again. Until I figure out what is...

I've put about 1000 miles on the truck since I got it and this is the 1st time this has happened. Obviously I've had fan problems before :) I half expected to see the air line had come loose when I tilted the cab but it was fine. The other thing I think might be a factor is this is the 1st...

Good guess. Fan was not kicking on so the truck was overheating. Stop light came on but I was on a section of 8 lane highway with no shoulder so had to keep going. By the time I could get off the road the tranny and transfer case lights had come on as well. The temp was sitting just under...

Never a good sign when coming home from an event.

You have to have more than just an enclosure to qualify as a motorhome. If he wants to add a bathroom and permanent cooking fixtures then that might be the way to go.

Ok here's an odd problem, ever since I picked up my truck the tail lights wouldn't work if the cover was on the fuse panel. I'm assuming something is shorting out when it's on but have no idea what it might be or even how to test for it. As for now I just drive around with the cover off.

You need to find a different tax office or a different gopher in Austin. Easiest way is to register it as a FMV but you're restricted on when you can drive it. Otherwise you simply get it weighed and register it as a 17k pound truck.

Great. Then you should probably go into those threads and say, "I've changed directions" and continue that thread. Now someone who is searching about Expo builds on M1078s is going to open multiple threads instead of having the information in one. How about a "This is my truck and what I want...

Not to be a smarta$$ or anything but, how many of these threads have you got started on pretty much the same subject?

He's talking about a LMTV not HMMWV.

See you there.

When and where?

Any plans for this Saturday?

From what I understand GP tries to slave off any non-running vehicle and attempts minor things to try and get them started. You never know the real condition until you get one home and start going through it. If you want to buy one at auction just factor in the cost of having it shipped. If...

The trucks have a separate compartment for the poles. The older style bows don't break down so you're stuck stacking them at the front of the bed but the newer style should fit in the compartment once disassembled.

Pulled out the Dutch ovens today and I'm guessing the last time I used them was 2010. The seasoning has basically varnished so looks like I'll be re-seasoning them tomorrow. It's not a fun job but necessary since I've let them sit for so long. This is actually the first time I've been...

Yeh come on guys. I might have a chance if we split the vote enough ways. If it's just me and PB I might as well throw in the towel now.

Good luck getting them to let you do that. It's hard enough scheduling a simple inspection let alone a complete review of the vehicle. If GP can't get it started then likely there is more wrong than the batteries being dead and someone casually looking over the vehicle isn't likely to find the...
