    Our MTVR camper:

    Is there an example anywhere of a box with air bags and torque rods? I'm curious how that would look and work.

    Which design is better for the non-rock climber as an Overlanding Vehicle, the 4x4 or 6x6? An expert weighed in

    The 4X4 is better. It is shorter and more maneuverable along switchbacks :D.

    Cat 3116 max altitude questions

    Sounds like serious consequences, not just a lack of power. If they reset the injectors and whatever to live at that altitude, driving at sea level would result in less fuel for the given oxygen level. It would be critical to understand the impact in that scenario if you are thinking about...

    Cat 3116 max altitude questions

    I'd call Cat and ask before buying since it would be operating well above the max altitude. Post back what you find.

    Need help with unhooked hose

    A C-12 doc I found has a tube coming from where you pointed (I think) and it routs differently, but the tube connects to a filter before being routed to the air intake. Maybe the military just dumped the breather to below the truck. Just guessing. See page 72...

    7 Ton transmission oil change

    On an RV forum a fluid tech that worked for decades at Allison had an Ask Me Anything thread. He said Transynd is the best you can get for it.

    Fan and brake fluid questions

    Looking at the pic on the lower right (near the Gov Planet logo) it looks like a serpentine pulley. Near the fan it looks like another pulley. Maybe a belt is missing from the fan?

    Only had it a couple weeks and I'm hooked

    For so much weight and hardly any sag, that is impressive. What is the wood going to be used for? I bet that is some expensive cargo.

    Using FOIA to get truck info

    You can't beat free. Would that documentation have an entry if the engine has been overheated?

    Trading up, nervous though. Stewart Stevenson M1078 LMTV Camper Build....

    How much do they want for their DIY cargo box kit?

    Anyone put a camper on the back of a 7T MTVR?

    Not sure about the squat for 10k lbs. If I did the math right, the container would be 1" too high. Would removing a leaf spring from each side lower it enough? If you wanted anything on top of the container that may be a problem. For air-conditioning a split-systems would allow mounting on a...

    M939 Camper Build

    Check it out camper fans. BTW, it is not mine.

    My 7 ton is lost somewhere

    Bummer deal, Jon. Maybe they could help off-set the impact by waving a fee or giving you a discount on the next purchase to compensate you. It was a big f-up on their part. Follow-up with them and ask. The worst that could happen is they say no.

    Fire extinguisher?

    If you have expensive electronics in the house part of your rig and this extinguisher could be used for it, the common ABC type spray will ruin whatever equipment you spray it on. Get a clean agent kind of extinguisher. Halon is what I carry. It costs a lot more, but totally worth it. Halotron...
