I'm not sure what's available right now but when I got mine from http://premiermetalbuyers.com I just bought the center sections. From what I hear they're sold out right now though.
No big updates... I've been working on the truck more than the camper. Mainly building a flatbed with a slide out deck for the camper and prepping the cab for paint. Once that's done I'll be concentrating on getting the camper done.
For anyone looking here's an option for a new sending unit. I got the 15" version and it bolted right in. Only thing I had to do was solder on the connector. They do make a shrouded version like the original but I went with this one because it was available. I bought mine off Amazon but it...
Yep, the issue I found was the G connection to the board is fried and there's no continuity back to terminal 86 of the starter relay. I jumped the two to verify there weren't any other issues with the wires from the TB1 #34 terminal to the 86 terminal on the starter relay. By the time my truck...
This might not apply to the OP's problem but it may help someone else coming here with the problem I had. My truck began to make a clunk, clunk noise and then start and eventually didn't clunk or start. After a lot of trouble shooting I found that power was getting to the TCM but it wasn't...
Check the air solenoid behind the kick panel on the passenger side. If it sticks it doesn't allow the air to escape so the fan won't engage. Test it by getting it up to the temp the fan should engage and tap it with a wrench. This happened to me and even when I took it apart and cleaned it it...
Something to keep in mind for those thinking about removing the upper rails is that the trans/transfer case also sticks up above the main frame rails so even if you moved the battery box, as mentioned above, you'd still have that to deal with.
I can't comment on whether it's a good idea or not because I'm still building but I cut mine off because my camper is removable and the rails interfered with the waste water tanks which hang below the box. The camper is mounted with two hitch balls in front and a 5th wheel hitch in the back. I...
There's room for a pass thru without moving the tire and air intake. It would be more of a tunnel but there's room. and regarding RV passengers.... http://blog.rvshare.com/things-need-know-rv-seat-belt-laws/
Not sure if this adds anything to the conversation or just muddies the waters but I had a few back and forth messages with LMTV772 and he signed them ~michael. Seems odd that he would use different names.
NDT mentioned it above but BAE put a 6.7l Cummins in the civilian version of the LMTV (SD BRAZOS). Looks like they used the Allison transmission and transfer case too. http://globalxvehicles.com/gxv-sd-brazos-specifications/ . I had this same idea when I was bidding on an LMTV with a cracked...
I don't want to get this thread too far off topic so feel free to message me if you have any questions. I bought mine from a private party with a title so it was really easy. They even let me get a collector plate.
The problem with Gov Planet auctions is they're rarely available in our area so...
I'm in St Bonifacius. Oddly enough (considering the rarity statement above) there's one for sale just West of me on Hwy 7. It's pretty rough but might be worth checking out. Check Craigslist.
