It's an M1078 LMTV, probably the worst one to own because of the single rear axle and the weaker engine. M1083 has 6X6 and more power. LMTV's aren't so cool once the cab heats up after sitting or driving for long periods of time.

I like watching these videos and seeing Andrew work. Doing things how he sees fit without interruptions. You know, there's so many times that I go to do a thing. Either at work, or just about anywhere it seems. And there's always someone who will butt in, saying, "that's wrong," or "Mustn't do it like that", or any of a dozen different, but negative comments. So it's always great when I can just do something and just get on with it, and get it done. Without having to tell someone to shut-up or get-lost. Not just for ambitious projects, even just for getting out a lawnmower to tidy up outside the front. Or trimming trees, you name it someone will stick their nose it. So I'm envious of Andrew being able to work just how he sees fit!

[@ht3oldnavy]

It may not mean much to some but I appreciate the fact that you clean off your trailer before driving. I have had many a windshield taken out because of contractors with dirt and rock filled trailers going down the road turning them into backdoor rock launchers.

[@gungadinn]

Andrew, those plastic electrical connectors are called Scotchlok's, invented by 3M. They only work if you use rubber splicing tape to seal over the entire connector area, otherwise, just like you said they develop corrosion inside and intermittent electrical issues. The green military truck has been "Bobbed", shortened. Looks like the tan one is a M1078 LM/FM TV truck manufactured by Stewart and Stevenson. The downside is the Cat liner-less engine. Cat's all yellow until it comes times for replacement parts, then they're all about the "Green". You might check with your local Allison dealer and see if it's worth switching the truck over to transmission fluid instead of engine oil. The Allison shifts so much better using the designed fluid instead of meeting a military specification for commonality.

[@haroldphipps3457]

The "newer" Allison transmissions are designed to use engine oil. Compared to engine oil, ATF specs really suck. If you get good ATF you will be fine, but the actual "spec" is very loose.

[@ben94cobra]

excellent advice on the vampire taps. The only "safe" place for them and that's a stretch, is the interior of a newer vehicle where everything is very well sealed. And even still, they are dicey at best. A tip from someone who does high end motorsports electronics, we never solder connections. Only mechanical crimps. With good quality adhesive-lined heat shrink over the crimpted joint (be it a terminal end or a splice), it will be weatherproofed and no solder is required.

[@mikeyadrick5154]

I had over 40yrs in in large motors and Generators. Our major customers like the Navy, Coast Guard, Wash State Ferries--required their connections to be mechanical crimp AND solder--just as you recommended. Those other type of connectors as you say are for very temporary or emergency situations and will definitely lead to electrical problems down the road. For your supplies you can purchase lugs and splices that do not come with that plastic collar on them-----Mikey

Well I WAS about to get to work! Guess I'm watching a Camarata video first! 😁

[@SKC640]

Hey Andrew I like what you where saying about the only good way to make electrical connections are with solder and heat shrink tubing. You definitely have to try the new heat shrink connecters it's heat shrink tubing with its own solder built in the tube right in the middle so all you have to do is strip s half inch on each wire them slide the wire in each end of of the tubing then do the same with the other wire andske sure the two wires are touching with good connection ( which is really easy to tell because the heat shrink tubing is clear so there's no guessing wether or not you did it properly) then all you have to do is take your heat gun to shrink the tubing and while you do this the solder in the middle melts securing the two wires together and making and solid connection between the two and it's completely water proof because the tubing shrinks down! They are absolutely awesome because it does the same think as soldering and using heat shrink seperately but it's all in one step since the solder is built in and it saves so much time. I always would just use crimp connect since it takes slot of time to do it properly and solder them then putting heat shrink on each one bit now since it's all one step and all you have to do is slide them on then hit them with the heat gun! They are absolutely a game changer and I will never use anl different connector or solder again

Great video. You’re absolutely right about those blade wire joiners corroding and failing if used as is. However, for light applications (or if you are really tight for time), if you totally fill them with dielectric grease before closing/clamping, and then spray them with a rust preventative now and then, they will give good service for many years. If they are going to be enclosed in trailer tubing or other places where you can’t occasionally oil spray them, don’t use them.
