    Coolant heater addition. 1997 1078

    Was wondering if anybody has added one to their truck? Would like to heat water for the camper as well as have the motor in the loop as well. And if you have added a heater where did you tie into the motor cooling loop. Thanks, Blair

    1078 driver door window install.

    Anybody have experience doing it? Went through the Tm/s to see if it was covered but couldn't find it. Window was very easy to get out after I broke it accidentally. I was a moron. Blair

    M1078 rear tail light conversion.

    Was wondering if anybody had converted to civilian tail lights on their truck? I realize the brake light and turnsignal are on the same circuit and am hoping to have separate the turn signals from the stop lights. Blair

    M1078 camper progress.

    Been making progress on the truck slowly over the last few months. Indecision, pandemic and busy people had kept this thing moving slowly. Once I made the command decision to use the shot box and have it adapted things went fairly well. Measured 50 times and cut a few times. Fortunately had...

    PDP power tap thread size?

    Trying to figure out the thread size on the PDP to tap onto the 12v and negative circuits for aux power. Negative appears to be m6-1.0 .

Upon reinstalling the lower retracting portion I am having issue with how the roller mounts back up to the wall while capturing the other end of the belt. Roller has...

    Driveline question...

    2.87 gears installed.

    Stars finally aligned and got the 2.87 gears installed (Stock 1078 with Goodyears at 70psi). Since I picked up the truck last Thursday I have put around 50 miles with the new gears. Initial reaction is that it makes the truck much more usable. Combined with the soundproofing makes for a quiet...

    LMTV question

    SO, I have bought an LMTV last year. Got it finally to California and its been sitting in the shop waiting for the transmission pan to be dropped. Busy shop with good people so I am fine waiting. Not having the truck has given me plenty of time to read the TM's, read Steel soldiers, and cruise...
