    M-1078 power steering fluid type

    OK guys, I have been going through my TM's trying to find the type of fluid to use in the system of my LMTV. I find the amount but can't find the type. I thought Navy TM's are a pain but these Army TM's just pure **** in paper. Thanks all.

    Just picked up my first m1078! Air Compressor broke on way home!

    Great to hear from you bubbleHead. I should have my truck in San Diego by 10 Feb, God willing. I love to hear when others are getting into the trucks themselves. Good to hear another sailor is on the sight. I was a Damage Controlmen/Hull Tech. then went over to the SPECWARFARE world.

    M1078 frame flex question/compared to Unimog frame flex

    Oh yes. I did help build a box on a 404 Unimog. I never got to see the finished camper. But i know the guy had big plans and sure that he finished the build. It wasn't posted that i know of. I believe he lived in the high desert in Ca.

    M1082 trailer

    Great trailer! I want the M1095. I know it is tall but my 99 H1 hummer will fit in it. Might look like a bit of over kill pulling the trailer with my H1 in it, behind my M1078!!! HAHA I am jealous! Have fun with it.

    Just picked up my first m1078! Air Compressor broke on way home!

    So the shop is back to working on my truck today to remove the compressor and steering pump to locate the problem and cause of the issue (I am in no real hurry). While they are working I have been trying to source the compressor in either a new or remanufactured condition. The TM states that it...

    Need m1078 hauled from GA to San diego CA

    It is in the shop now getting a new compressor installed. And then trying to get it registered in GA for the first go around at least as it will be way cheaper than here in CA. So i am not sure when it will be ready to hit the road.

    M1078 frame flex question/compared to Unimog frame flex

    I am designing my custom camper box to mount on my M1078. Here is my question. Just how flexy is the chassis as compared to a Unimog? I have build a camper on a Unimog and retained the basic Unimog 3 point mount system. Should I mount my new camper box straight to the M1078 chassis or use a 3...
