    Door Opening Attachments That Limit Door Overtravel

    was able to modify my A0 door limiter to work good again. Issue on mine seemed to be that one end could slide up over head of bolt (something like that. dont recall exactly).. allowing arm to come out of slide.... and even if not come "all" the way out... still open to far and hit cab...

    Expedition engine?

    not sure why your even making something of that.... never said he was.... only said with two trucks now.... he has that option to consider now; more so than he did previously. He is always updating/improving stuff.

    absolutely and fairly easily. Just copy M1079.... 99% of the parts are already under the bed.

    Expedition engine?

    no cracked frames to see.... they were built properly and boxes put on them with this in mind. There is I think only four or five solid boxes on LMTV's out there right now... but only about 4 years?? at most of minimal use..... time will tell... Id expect damage not to show up till 10+ years...

    Expedition engine?

    Expedition engine?

    @87cr250r they don't make Cardian joints for rigs this big unless they are specialized..... which is anti the plan for military trucks to be mostly off the shelf commercial parts.. Think the high pinion axle..... was how they compensated for that reality.

    Expedition engine?

    will see if he changes bed route. Think he has two trucks now so he does not HAVE to keep the bed. In past he had too remove it cause truck was also used for business. (plowing)

    First Post - new to me M1078 MD3070PT with Shifting Problems

    check your batteries...... as in you must have solid good 24v into bats AND back out or your transmission will do odd things. Also it may need to re-learn shifting. oh... and thanks for searching first...... That is the right thing to do though TomTime has a point on quoting someone in an...

    @Xengineguy ..... am I correct that Waterloo's compressor mount also go on Driver side? I have one.... just not at stage to mount AC. If so....... does make me wonder if your Idea could be used to mount a second alternator. My concern is would it have enough belt wrap and if it would/would...

    Another wheel cover thread

    My understanding is 14:00s are just being made less (made less available in US? ) cause US military no longer specs them for any vehicles. Some European still does.

    Complete A/C KIT FMTV 1997 Cat 3116

    Ava8or is not a member here anymore. (or it is bad name spelling?) am curious of his bracket for compressor could instead by used to mount a second alternator. particularly if went to more stock alternator w/ CAT bracket... instead of military one.
