Thats exactly where I was planning on mounting the license plate. Did you have to open the wire loom to find the unused circuit (going to nothing), or did it terminate outside of the loom? Its dark here, so my curiosity can't wait until the morning.

I havent yet checked for codes in the transmission; and the alternator is charging at 27V. This weekend is already shot changing the oil pan gasket and filters, I'll try to address the trans shifting issue in the upcoming weeks. Does the truck have to be running to pull codes, or can I do it...

Let me preface my question with "I havent yet flushed the transmission as outlined previously, from 15w40 to ATF." that being stated, When driving around the neighborhood, my m1081 has a distinct hesitation/delay when trying to shift from 4th to 5th gear. 2nd to 3rd is abrupt and crisp...

there is a military guy that makes 12/24volt LED license plate frame, just plug in series with your tail-lights, and youre good to go... $31... you can find it in the vendor section if interested... My question to you is "has anyone installed this on their LMTV, and what are/were your...

Read the TM's, they just say "pour diesel in new filters, install, and restart engine." Any issues with priming, air bubbles getting into injectors, etc? I have an old JD tractor and they are very picky about air in the lines/injector body. How are the CAT 3116? Any words of advice/wisdom are...

Where did you source the replacement, and cost?

I was recently looking for drivers side door glass and that is very hard to find and extremely expensive. In my search, Eastern Surplus in Philly stated that they had several brand new passenger side door glass in stock. Give them a shout. They are a vendor on the site. (I am in no way...

Has anyone changed the oil pan gasket on the 3116 in your lmtv? TM states that you have to remove the transmission cooler, but it looks like you might be able to slide the pan out without removing the trans cooler. Can anyone advise if this is indeed the case? Thanks in advance.

Agreed...nothing is theft proof, just like you can't stop anyone/anything from doing what they want, if they are motivated enough. I am mostly trying to stop buddies who aren't familiar with the truck from starting it up and driving it to a new location, unbeknownst to me, of course. Prank...

Aside from the chain around the steering wheel to the hand rail, what other options are there to deter the casual theft or your buddies moving your truck w/o consent. If I read it correctly, the starter push button is 12v going to a 24v relay, so a 12v keyed ignition in series with the push...

I've read the TM's, so please dont harp on me for circumventing those and asking about motor oil on the forum. I would like to know what motor oil brand/specs you use in your LMTV, and if you'vd had any adverse effects. The reason I ask is because I've read that the CAT 3116 and 3126 are very...

Update on trucks condition after daylight walk around: PM's JWade about the missing door latch, he was very quick to call me back and say he would get me a replacement latch within a few days. He said that GP would get me a latch one way or another, and wanted to make good on the issue. So far...

Bummer. Any good leads on where to get drivers door glass?

It appears to be flat on the passenger side, and based on the pile of glass bits in the door, it's tempered, not laminated. Does anyone have the dimensions/template from a previous encounter with the same issue?

Is lmtv772 still on Steel Soldiers? I am in need of the driver's side door glass but I am unable to send him a PM.

If the above glass for sale has already been sold, does anyone have another driver's side door glass for sale? If LMTV772 still has the glass available, please PM me... mine is shattered and I too need a replacement.

Went outside after the sun came and the door latch itself is missing. They left me the screws. Good call on changing the screws to bolts. Does anyone have a good lead on where to get the latch only? I have the inside and outside door handles and the components that are inside the door shell.

While waiting for delivery I've been reading through TMs and studying up on my new purchase. After many headaches with trucking companies, namely brokers brokering deals with several downstream brokers, the M1081 I won on GP two weeks ago was loaded onto the trailer out of Ft., Bragg yesterday...

This is just my curiosity of the deployment of the LMTVs currently being surplussed out of Ft. Bragg and other facilities. A handful are desert tan, most are OD camo... does that mean that few of the 1081s were used in the (until-recently) current campaign (those that are still desert tan), or...

Just bought a 1997 LMTV off GP, and the state of Maryland is a bit of a headache with respect to registration. Is anyone on the forum in MD, and if you have a vehicle too new (not old enough) to be registered historic, which route did you take? I believe a FL title will be mailed to be within...
