    LMTV registration in Texas

    Just an FYI... Texas no longer recognizes the Florida dealer reassignment form sent by GovPlanet when titling an LMTV with an SF97. One either has to produce a title or get a bonded title to title these trucks in TX.

    M1088A1 with VW parts

    I was servicing my M1088A1 and noticed that the Aux transmission cooler fans looked somewhat familiar. S&S used the connector from a 1982 VW rabbit and might also use the same fans!

    Loose Flex Plate Bolts

    So from now on all LMTV's that come through my shop will get the flex plate bolts replaced torqued and lock-tighted. The US army must not own torque wrenches as this has happened with great frequency.

    Another helpful LMTV tip regarding the air governor

    I was having an issue with compressors on my A1, one broke a rod and the replacement was extra "Rattly". I also noticed the air pressure guages were pegged to the right and there was a constant bleed of air at the rear of the truck.. Well I replaced the air governor and all of the above went...

    So here beings my quest to install A/C into my 95 LMTV. Today I got the crank pulley nearly installed. However the existing bolts were about 5mm too short so tomorrow I plan to get the proper bolts and finish the install. It's also a great time to clean up and re lube the fan clutch.
