    Working on the M1078 LMTV

    Well they are making the hoses by hand but I'll get the info on the new dryer.

    Working on the M1078 LMTV

    Well bad news and worse news on the AC. The bad news is it's still not done. They're hoping to have it finished by tomorrow but having wiring issues. I emailed them the Red Dot schematic that I have in the hopes they can figure it out. The worse news is the cost. Over $1k at this point and...

    Did you ever replace the turn signal stalk? If so what did you pay for it?

    Military vehicles at car shows

    There were 4 of us at the Audey L Murphy VA Hospital "Ride A Crooked Trail" show in June - a Land Rover, M151, M923A2 and my M1078. They parked us away from the shiny stuff but we had better shade.

    LMTV Air Conditioner

    Hopefully we'll have a standard setup to measure next week. I have a temp probe from when I bought my M1010 and got the AC working in it so should be able to gauge temps right at the vent. I still haven't heard back from the shop yet. I'll head down in the morning to rattle their cage if no...

    LMTV Air Conditioner

    Same problem we have. No connection from the wiring kit to the dryer. I have mine at the AC shop right now and I believe they're just going to change the switch out.

    Operation "URGENT RESTORATION"

    Can't wait to see how it turns out. Mine was a cake walk compared to what you've been through with yours.

    LMTV Air Conditioner

    Unfortunately down here it's almost a requirement if you want to use your truck in the summer. Heat indexes around San Antonio for the next 10 days are going to be in the 110-115° range. I'm really going to have to insulate the roof also. During the day you can barely touch the roof on the...

    Will this be a good battery?

    Then actually I wouldn't say that's a very great deal. You can get new, still in the box 6TAGMs for $145. That's a much better (in my opinion) battery than the older style. Up to you but if I could save $30 per unit and get a battery that wasn't 1950s technology I'd go for the AGMs.

    Will this be a good battery?

    The ones that are on eBay are New - never used 6TAGMs still in the original box for $145 each (never used but out of the 36 month warranty) so if you got 6 used ones for $175 (as long as they still have some life left) then that's a good deal. They're probably worth about $20 each scrap so...

    Item 13 I can't help with but Item 4 and 8 are available.

    Will this be a good battery?

    There are currently some 6TAGMs on a certain civilian auction site for a good price with free shipping.

    Working on the M1078 LMTV

    Dropped the truck off at the AC shop this morning. Once they have everything put together I'll have the coolest LMTV in town.

    Working on the M1078 LMTV

    Thanks to Motorcar I have 3 new to me 6ATGM batteries. I have 1 dead one in the 1078 so this was a great deal for me. I brought them home and hooked them up to the Genius G7200 just to check the charge. All 3 are holding better voltage than the 3 in the truck although 2 of them drop pretty...

    LMTV Air Conditioner

    R12 was being phased out by the early 90s so doubt they were set up for that. My compressor specifically states it's for R134a.

    So your thinking Expo FMTV .. Max height ??

    I'd like to know he plans to do with that spare out in the middle of no where. You might get it down with a couple of guys but you're not getting it back up there. With all the modifications you guys dream up I'd think it'd be a lot easier just to go buy a vehicle and be done with it. Chop...

    Try PMing member Country. They do a lot of overseas sales and might be able to answer your question.

    Working on the M1078 LMTV

    Well it seems like I continue to find minor things to fix. The only time I really needed the back up light was leaving for the car show a couple of weeks ago at 0-dark-30 and thought it was pretty poor. Turns out I was really only using the tail lights to back with. Checked the bulbs and...

    Working on the M1078 LMTV

    We both know there likely isn't anyone else that would put up with either of us so we're set for life :D. One week from today will mark 24 years. Not too bad seeing as we only knew each other for 2 months when we got married.
