    The search function here can be...lacking at times. It could have been 20 pages back, but manually surfing thru forum pages not how one seeks information these days. Thanks for finding him the link, though... ;)

    M1079 runs hot and shuts down

    ^This Only other option is to replace the rad, which will be silly-stupid-expensive because..."surplus junk from the military is meant to be sold for silly-stupid-expensive prices" LOL

    I have the passenger side antenna mount with spring intact. I've encountered a number of antennas for sale that list a for "LMTV", but they list a wide range of vehicles and vary considerably. 1) Does anyone know the antenna designation that goes with our trucks (I guess assuming just the...

    LMTV CTIS $10 upgrade to ~75psi for Highway

    Cool. If you think about it, three more and a rotary and you'd replace the CTIS ECU. Well....sorta. LOL :)

    What have you done to your FMTV or LMTV today

    LMTV CTIS $10 upgrade to ~75psi for Highway

    I've been running the mod since I did it (about 1000 miles). 75 psi and happy. I honestly think my front tire wear has been noticeably reduced.

    Steering box failure / cracking

    I love the concept of his AC (was new from a crane cab). Seems that he's fixed it all up in his latest video. He re-did the plumbing and added a few new components. He covers the changes and fix in this video: https://youtu.be/bmsVA83vBRI

    Anyone put on a steering stabilizer / shock?
