This RV conversion titling thread pre-dated this forum... it started in the FMTV forum. Here is link. Some may find it helpful. Remember though as well that it is old thread. Your states info may have changed...

they make coolant battery warmers.... or simple tiny car heater core plumbed into battery area

can you point me to some terms to use to find a post where you've mentioned (think you have already) how your doing the alternator excite etc now that you removed the sender.

did you remove oil pressure sender and thusly bypass the solenoids that operate from that sender or add the mechanical one as secondary thing orre?

If your going to add 24v winches then yeah for sure go back to 4 batts.. (and appropriate alternator). If not doing 24v. winches (or 12) then spend cost of two more batts on a diesel fired coolant heater system. That would more roundly serve your needs IMHO

for future reference- captured spring vendor(s) / Part numbers used on M1079 is in the yellow spread parts sheet linked to a top of the FMTV forum. Rubber looked to me like it should work good while ago. My ambo box that came off of a Freighlinter uses rubber isolators. Sadly not really...

what do you see as this being superior over typical captured metal springs... or captured pair of metal springs?

Wonder if that truck was a test bed truck. hence why so many variations of parts included.

people report that issue a lot. Both my breaks (go figure) is not that but the actual part your grab. On two different handles, same issue actually. One leg of it broke off .. eventually followed by the other side. Inside is still all intact and fine. Doors open easy. Had adjusted them...

sorry no one replied. bumping this up for you.

does this help with one of your questions?

ahhh... two good threads and a good post https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/essential-tools-to-have-for-an-fmtv-add-your-02.152218/ https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/dont-leave-home-without-it.196133/ https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/power-distribution-panel-repair.195947/post-2287638

another thread that might be helpful is the tools to carry thread if you do end up driving one home. WIll come back with link on that one.. think I have it in my book marks

PS- this question gets asked once or twice a year.... and answered once / twice a year.. Suggest you consider search thru the old threads... your going to find some answers.. and come up with new questions in your head you didn't even think to ask yet... then pop in here ask those...

as other's hinted at.... not worth getting OEM alternator. Get a 24v alt. 140+amps (200 + if your going to charge camper batts too) and 24v-12v convertor to run the 12v side. You will need to fabricate a alternator bracket. see recent post on how folk have done that by carving out their...

ok.. so it is an MD3070. that is the original trans to the 3116... it mayyyy have got internal wire harness updated..... may not. See https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/md3070-vs-3700sp-allison-7speed-tranny-in-these-trucks.154061/ not real familiar with the M1078 A1R or A1Rp2 to know if...

if it can complete the Dakar..... then its not stupid for sure. Think this did the Dakar two or three times. If recall right they did this cause it was easiest way to do a twin engine setup.

@Schmirgel think it is only 5 post though. (same for posting pics or links) You may be there now though

duhh.. sorry didn't use my brain. should have just searched for an image. Found one

nope.... the schematics are inside software now... and software for that not released by govt.. Closet you will get is what his Guard mechanic can get for you thru their software or the older version for A1 (maybe better said A0.5) that can be found in TM section of S.Soliders. it is a...
