The Alternator on my 5 Ton failed on Sunday so I ordered a Delco replacement and a bracket to make it fit correctly. It’s killing me to have them both not able to be driven at the moment I hate relying on my civilian pickup.

I did purchase some Volvo handles and they do fit very well. I also found a vendor that’s parting a truck out and I purchased the stock interior door handles from them. I have extras now but I don’t think this will be my last FMTV so I like having spares. I’ve been working on her (My wife calls...

So I've got a small treasure trove of parts ordered. I have ordered the following. Front drive-line Interior door panel Two sets of interior door handles 5 drive shaft u-joints so I'll have spares 1 Cab Air Bag Upgraded metal exterior door handle replacements Tiger Tool U-joint puller Torque...

Did this info ever get posted? I could use some new shocks.

At some point there was a change to the rear differential, I believe that the rear differential is now the same as the intermediate axle on the MTVs. This has greatly reduced the drive line angle.

I live in Wasilla I daily drive my M923A2 when I’m not at work. I just picked up an LMTV I plan to try and split my time between the two for my daily driving. I’m always interested in talking and looking at Military vehicals, feel free to P.M. me and we can get together sometime.

I'd also love more info on these shocks.

My kids love the truck.

Being as this is my first LMTV are all the bed side sections interchangeable including the tailgate? I have a couple sections that have three hinges and a few that only have two. I’m getting the impression I have a miss match of bed sides and tail gate.

I had a set of LED headlights I’d originally purchased for my 5 Ton they were off brand units from Amazon they’ll except voltage from 10vdc-30vdc. Before I got them installed in the 5 Ton my wife surprised me with a set of Truck-lite Military LED headlights so I still had the Amazon set in my...

I’m making a list of items that I need to get the truck totally road worthy. If you guys have any of the following items let me know. I may pull the front driveline and get it rebuilt it has a little slop in the slip yoke. My goal for this truck is making it one of my daily drivers. I’ll use...

I have the Hawkers in my garage charging right now so far they have all taken a charge and they appear to be fine. I agree about putting them back in. I won’t have to fabricate new battery hold downs if I run the Hawkers and they are probably much better batteries.

For comparison sake I find the LMTV to be a bit bouncy like almost excessively so. My M923A2 is a completely different animal. The LMTV interior is much more modern than my 5 Ton. I’m pretty excited to have the LMTV running and driving. I payed $4000 for it and I put about $550 into getting it...

I bought a non runner.... 1998 M1078 So I took a gamble and I bid on a 1998 M1078 that was listed as non running. I could see from the pictures it needed work on the drivers door and it had some minor cosmetic issues. I called and asked if the GovPlanet rep would please cage the brakes so the...

Thanks for the advice. I bought a NAPA Part# ST88 and installed it. The truck started on the first push of the button.

I bought a 1998 M1078 that’s a non-runner I replaced the batteries I’ve check all the fluids and replaced all the circuit breakers with fuses. I get a click from the relay in the fuse panel but I got nothing from the starter. I used the hand jack and I got the cab tilted forward and I’ve found...

Hi from Wasilla.

Okay, good advice thanks. Pictures to come.

I haven’t closed the deal on the second 5 Ton yet but I’m still working on it. I won another M1102 at a local GovPlanet auction so I only have a 50 or so miles round trip to pick it up. I think I’ll take my 5 Ton this time so I can plug it right in. That makes two M1102 trailers they look a...

Mine is Camo, and yes I’m showing those symptoms. My wife and I went on our last daynight in the 5 Ton, Christmas shopping was done in the 5 Ton, Christmas Eve church service was attended in the 5 Ton my kids have been dropped off and picked up at school numerous times in the 5 Ton. To be clear...
