I have the optional Tachometer in my truck. When I start the truck it goes from 0-max then back. It works find for a while then sometimes it goes zero and back on. Today it worked for like 10 min then back to zero to stay there. My Volts gage also does not work so I know I will be into my dash...

I noticed the engine mounts to the frame with hard mounts. In passenger cars the engine is often mounted on shocks or bushings to avoid putting vibrations into the frame. Can anyone explain why the hard mount? Would it be possible/advisable to add hydro mounts?

I picked up a couple of batteries and realized I don't carry and straps or nets. What kind of load retaining stuff are you using? I did go look at military cargo nets but the variety blew my mind. :)

My wife and I took our first freeway drive in our new LMTV. It involved climbing into the local hills to our favorite burger joint at Alice's Restaurant. If you are the only one driving the truck it's a bit bumpy and loud. When my wife is in the truck and we are trying to talk to talk with...

I am looking for a solar powered battery tender to keep my batteries topped up. Another member mentioned there are 24V solar panels (products) for keeping your batteries topped up. When I did my initial search I was able to find a company called PulseTech who makes some products. Are there others?

Is it just me or do the Dakar T4 Kamaz have nearly identical suspension to the LMTV M1078 vehicles? From the vehicles it looks like leaf sprung solid axles front and rear. The race trucks get newer modern shocks and some better bump stops.

I tried google. I think there is supposed to be a serial on the passenger side where the oil pan meets the engine casting. I didn't find one on my engine. Where should I look?

Is there a remote start/stop somewhere or do open the door and use the main master switch?

I've just returned from my 1st of many trips to the DMV. There were some stale threads on this topic I didn't want to resurrect. Here is the current information for anyone looking to transfer a vehicle here. My LMTV was previously registered in Florida so I have a title in hand for it. The...

Forgive me if this is somewhere else on the forum. I could not locate it doing a search. Just got our LMTV so we are green and still learning the systems. When I drive the truck on surface streets it seems that I must give the truck full throttle to get the RPMs to rise enough for the truck to...

Got stuck at a censored stop light this morning. Is there a simple way to make the vehicle trip the sensors? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using Tapatalk

Still very new to the LMTV and discovering things every day. What kind of interior dome light or courtesy lights have you added to your vehicles to make them easier to use at night?

It looks like my truck was reassembled with random fasteners in the dash and doors. Has anyone found a good bolt with a captive washer or a large head? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using Tapatalk

I just got my truck it's a M1078. I'm noticing all these little details which I'm not sure about. Where rear leaf springs connect to the spring shackles. Is there a bushing (rubber) that goes in there?

Anybody jump their truck?

There is a mirror set to look down. It looks like it's to view the front tires. Can anyone tell me more? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using Tapatalk

I have long been an admirer of the Unimog products but alas I can't afford one and have purchased a M1078 LMTV. I believe for my use (off road camping) it should be perfect. I have a lot of new questions about why the US military chose the LMTV and it's design features. Also how those compare...

When I got to see a M1078 for the first time I noticed below the windshield is another area that looked covered in plexiglass. I was wondering if there is a manual vent cover for that area?

I'm getting deep into the TMs. I found out there is a BDAR kit that comes with every vehicle to make field repairs and limp to somewhere to get repaired. I have found one on an auction site and it's a bit over priced. I was hoping folks could help me identify all the items so I could build a...

I have just discovered the Self Recovery Winch is rated at 11k lb max pull and the LMTV weighs 22k without any cargo. Even more striking it's called a Self Recovery Winch which suggests you use it to recover yourself (not another vehicle). This seems unlikely because the vehicle must be in...
