I was curious if anyone has tried lifting just the frontend of a M1078 with a 2 post vehicle lift? (I know an M1078 weighs 17,000+) I'm looking to put an Atlas 2 post lift in my garage. I was originally going to get the 12,000 lb lift knowing this will lift my 1 ton work truck. But for $400...

I'm looking for opinions on running tire chains on my M1078. (I've also thought of studding my tires with 3/4 inch sheet metal screws, like they do on ice racing vehicles) My biggest concern is the Allison md3070pt transmission. With 30% front axle 70% rear axle power or in mode 50/50 power...

Has anyone installed these on thier truck? I just recently ordered a set of these and was wondering what they looked like when installed. So if anyone's got any pictures please feel free to share.

Just a friendly reminder to everyone. With the freezing temps we've been having, don't forget to let your transmission warm up. Even with a block heater. Your going to want to let your truck warm up for a while before driving. Once the motor is warm, I'd advise being easy on the transmission...

M1078 No heat (fixed with pictures) My blower works and my heat lever is pulled out but I'm getting no heat. At the moment I can't lift my cab to check if there is a gate valve closed, that would prevent coolant from reaching my heater core. (I did however find some great info on here on how...

So I decided to fix a few sections of my driveway that got washed out. Without thinking of weight, I went to a local construction Co and had them load me up with 4yrds of 1 1/2" crushed stone. The trucked handled the weight well. On my 3rd trip they loaded me with a different loader (3yrd...

I've had my 95 M1078 for a few months now. Only had a couple issues when I got it. Heater panel was missing some bolts, which was easily fixed. Besides the passenger side door not opening, the truck runs great and passed a full commercial inspection with the inspecting mechanic saying the truck...

Recently took my M1078 to (United Bikers of Maine) State Wide. The wife and I threw a spare double bed in the back and a crankin stereo sytem. (Also took a tarp so we could pull the bed out for rides) We had a blast...

Still haven't gotten my SF97 so I haven't been driving my truck. So today I crawled under the truck to grease everything and change my transmission filters and fluid. Thats when I noticed what looks like an inspection plate hanging by one of four bolts. The plate has one hole in the center...

I'm looking for a trailer to haul my excavator behind my M1078. My excavator is 15,000 lbs. The 3 trailers I've looked at are. M1061a1 with a 15,850 lb GVWR. I don't believe this trailer would be heavy enough for my excavator, or I'd be pushing its limit. XM1073 with a 21,620 lb GVWR. This...

So I noticed the day I picked up my truck that there was a vibration that started around 45 mph. I hadn't mentioned it because People would have said its from driving it in the water. I believe it's coming from the slip joint on the front drive shaft. All the U joints feel good and the back...

The truck is super nice, but the smiles it brings to friends and family's faces is priceless..!!

Thanks Bikeman for lining up a loading ramp for my truck to be loaded on a drop deck. Driving it to the loading ramp, packing up the troop cover, noticing the drivers mirror was loose, taking the mirror off and packing it in the cab. Also for providing 2 front shackles so my drivers chains...
