    M1078 AC install

    I don’t think an alternator would fit in that location. I had to tip the ac compressor at an angle to make the clearance needed. and the charge air tube has just enough clearance after some modification.

    M1078 AC install

    I’m working on an alternative to the stock Lmtv ac compressor mount and location. Also a different way to mount the ac condenser.. I don’t know how it will work but willing to try something different. A few photos for fun.

    ECO Hubs Who needs 3:07 gears?

    I think one of the parameters in the design of the trucks is the speed limit of 57 MPH. Keep young soldiers alive and out of trouble.

    ECO Hubs Who needs 3:07 gears?

    Thank you for your feedback especially since you have 3:07 and a 3116. A lot of people keep asking about that combo and are concerned they will not have the power to pull the 3:07 with Eco Hubs too. (y) :) Glad they worked out!

    ECO Hubs Who needs 3:07 gears?

    Hi, there shouldn’t be any problem getting the hub kits to New England, I think shipping would still be 50.00 for the 4x4 and 60.00 for the 6x6. He may have been referring to my offer to install a set for free labor if you can get the truck to North east Indiana. One set only.

    The outer bolts are 3/8” 16. NC. Be very careful with a tap, you don’t want to break it. Go slow take your time.

    Nice job! I can’t stress enough how important it is to clean the threaded holes. Nice idea on the plastic Press n seal.

    Hi Chucky. Yes the hub is designed to allow the axle to be removed just like before. Remove 4 Allen’s in the aluminium cap remove cap, the axle will pull thru.

    You could easily adjust the wheel bearing while you’re there. I would jack the tire up that you’re working on.

    ECO Hubs Who needs 3:07 gears?

    I think you’re still misunderstanding what the reduction is and how the mod works. The reduction 2/1 is placed between the axle and the wheel hub. We remove the reduction and make the hub spin the same speed as the axle. No heat is generated with this coupling of components. With the...

    Hi Chucky, there is a drain/fill hole on the adapter plates. You can fill just like a stock reduction unit.

    Eco Hubs and 3.07's - in a 2000 M1088 with a 3126 (~24k pounds)

    Thanks Chris for the update. Sounds good. Also thanks for trying something untested on a heavier rig with the 3:07. We really didn’t know how that would work out. So glad it worked for you!
