    A0 High Speed Gears - Speedometer Dip Switch Adjustment

    This is something I've been wondering too so I just Googled it and found this https://www.thetruckersreport.com/truckingindustryforum/threads/04-379-pete-deciphering-the-switches-on-the-back-of-the-speedo.162567/ If you try it first let me know what you figured out and I'll do the same.

    53's on an LMTV

    I saw this truck at an offroad park this weekend. The owner wasn't around so I couldn't ask him about it but I did take a few pics.....

    M1078 Won't Start

    The numbers are on the blade side of the relay. 30 is the top one and 87 is the bottom one. The electrical schematics are near the end of the TM m1078_TM 9-2320-365-20-2 . They're a bit intimidating at first but well worth the time to learn how to read them. To clarify.... to start the truck...

    LMTV Frame twist

    I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not but if you read it why did you ask the question again? If you're expecting an engineer from S&S to chime in I think you'll be disappointed.

    LMTV Frame twist

    I cut the top channels off my 1078 frame. There's a thread in here somewhere discussing it and the conclusion was that the top channels are there for the box and not for the truck. Expect more twist without them obviously. I personally think airbags would be too much extra work for what you...

    M1078 Won't Start

    If you do want to bypass the neutral switch jump F to G in the VIM box which is under the dash on the passenger side.

    M1078 Won't Start

    This is what I had to do when I had issues with my starting circuit. Remove the K1 Starter Relay, turn the main switch on and check for 24volts at terminal 30. If you have 24 volts you can jump 30 to 87 and it should start the truck. Doing this bypasses all the other relays in the starting...

    M1083 Dimensions request..... pretty please!?!?

    This should be pretty close. I scaled it up based on the known dimensions and then measured the unknown. Should be enough to get you started anyway.

    FMTV High Speed Gears

    Had to get a bigger chisel but it came apart. The other side came apart no problem.

    FMTV High Speed Gears

    Hey guys... I'm working on the gear change right now and it's going great except this last part on the front. What's the trick to removing it? I tried knocking it around with a wood block and hammer but it's not moving. Bigger hammer?

    LMTV aftermarket shocks

    I could see them not getting it right the first time because "ride like a BMW" is open to interpretation but if you're saying they wouldn't work with you to make it right then that's a problem. I assume they're rebuildable so new valving shouldn't be that big of a deal.

    Interior door panel material?

    Mine are green Haircell (textured) ABS plastic. They're flat so they can be made of just about anything I suppose.

    Blew oil line engine now toast! Cat 3116 getting replaced

    I've been following your adventures on Instagram. Could it just be a top end rebuild? I'm far from an expert but it might be worth checking out.

    What the diodes on circuit breaker panel for?

    I'm guessing it's the 3 on the left side of the power distribution panel. I know the top one is part of the starting circuit but I'm not sure about the other two. I attached the PDF page from (m1078_TM 9-2320-365-20-1) page 1653.
