    Part number for U-Joint in the front axle shaft ???

    by all means, if I'm wrong, please say so, but I was under the impression that since Spicer invented the u-joint in the early 1900's, any and all U-joints in the market have a spicer series and part number. Easily determined by measuring the cup diameter and the overall width across the +...

    So you just got an FMTV and you need help fixing it...

    "The FMTV forum is relatively short compared to others (51 pages of threads, not 1,000s like other older military vehicles). READ ALL THE THREADS, get familiar with the TM's, and then when you have a problem you'll think "Oh, I think I read this somewhere in the thread about air/hydraulic...

    So you just got an FMTV and you need help fixing it...

    This forum is a gold mine of information; people are willing to help and will point you in the right direction, tell you how they fixed it after spinning their wheels for only God knows how long, sell you parts at a good price, etc. etc. etc. I have learned A LOT from this forum, old posts and...

    Ask Longerange4u about a Roadtrip in an LmTV. He bought one and drove it 2000 mile from MD to FL and back to VA....towing a 1082 nonetheless. He survived and lived to tell the tale.

    M1078 transmission hesitating shifting

    Make sure you checked all the codes...it will store up to 5. D1...D2...D3...etc. The TPS can be sourced from your local ALLISON dealer. It cost me somewhere between $300-400 for a new one; installation took all of 5 minutes, and then you have to follow the TM to set the 0% and 100% throttle...

    Any Other LVAD Truckers Need Cab Glass?

    Fair point. My apologies for oversimplification to the point of possibly misleading. It wasnt the purpose of my post. Longrange4u.... DSD277 is likely a great resource for you to use if/when you need glass cut for your front windshield.

    Any Other LVAD Truckers Need Cab Glass?

    You know what I meant (all automotive windshields are laminated). The point of my post was to inform a member that the LVAD doesnt need hard-to-find glass other than the doors, which plagues the entire LMTV community. Just a competent glass shop is needed for the majority of LVAD glass...

    Any Other LVAD Truckers Need Cab Glass?

    All depends on the size of the stock material the glass company has on hand, from which your square will be cut. You can likely get two squares cut for both sides of the front windshield at one time, presumably for twice the price of buying just one; might be a little discount. The beauty of...

    Any Other LVAD Truckers Need Cab Glass?

    M1081 windshield glass is just a flate piece, square. Easiest and cheapest way is to have a local glass company cut you a piece from tempered glass. The glass behind doors are also flat, on all LMTVs. Only curved glass is in the door (same used by all LMTVs) and the windshield in m1078/79...

    Looks Like M-1081 LVAD "Animal Mother" 19SFG Mothership Is Going to Happen! Parts #s?

    Driver's side door glass is almost always broken on LMTVs from raising the cab with door not fully latched. The problem is compounded with the M1081 door folding over on itself, if you do so with the glass in the UP position. I bought my truck at auction and it had driver's side window glass...

    Farewell to LMTV

    During conversation with the buyer, as we were doing the paperwork and finalizing the transaction, he asked what prompted me to purchase the vehicle in the first place. I told him it was destined to be a 'living legacy' for my cousin, USMC 1st LT Ryan McGlothlin, who was killed in combat in...

    Farewell to LMTV

    I just sold my LMTV to a Veteran's non-profit; they bought my M1081 and a local M35A3 to load up with gear, supplies, fuel, etc. in a quest to go help the imminent relief effort in Florida after IRMA. I'm sad to see it go, but I'm glad to see it go to a good group, put to a good use, and get...

    Compressor being loose and the front cover being cracked are directly related, namely: Cause and effect.

    Looks Like M-1081 LVAD "Animal Mother" 19SFG Mothership Is Going to Happen! Parts #s?

    Door glass is the same for all vehicles in the FMTV/LMTV class of vehicles. Door glass is just much easier to install into a M1081 since you can fold the top half of door out of the way to insert new glass. Slight curve (1/4") in class prevents use of a flat piece if glass, plexiglass isn't...
