I was also wondering about that. There are other parts that are very rusty too and there is plenty of evidence of the truck being an east coast truck where chemicals are used on the roads, but the condition of the few really rusty parts like the rear driveshaft seems to indicate those parts not...
So, I committed to buying the truck yesterday so I’ve reached out to Mike to order the hubs. I am a little concerned about the tires for the trip home though. One of the tires is a 2017 date code, so not worried about it, but the other three appear to be the original tires with 2008 date codes...
I’m reluctant to ask this here, but from what searching I’ve done, it seems this thread has the most info about running the 370hp tune on a C7. Earlier in this thread it was said the only difference in the C7’s delivered with the 370hp tune is the water cooled turbo. Talking with the guy I’m...
The truck I hope to be buying, will no for sure when I inspect it this Saturday, is a 2008 M1078A1R and from what I understand we’re delivered with a 275hp tune. Are all the parts the same as the 330/370 motors? I’m more interested in longevity since I’ll be building it into an expedition...
Thinking about it now, I think my previous post was incorrect. If you engage the PTO while in neutral, it just won't let you shift into gear but doesn't disengage the PTO. If you engage the PTO while in gear, you can drive while operating the winch, but if you then shift back into neutral, you...
Thanks, since I have no experience with the CTIS system yet, I'm a little in the dark in understanding what you posted. I assume the filters are inboard of the pipe you mention and not on the end where it would prevent anything from entering it?
Okay, so another newbie here. Going to look at a truck this weekend that has the factory winch. I also feel it's in the way of a larger fuel tank, but after reading this thread I'll figure out a work around for that. Now relative to the comments about you can't be in gear when the PTO is...
I would imagine it would be difficult to find a shop with a tire lathe large enough to handle these tires, but I could be wrong, and yes, I can attest to the fact that no amount of beads will fix an out of round tire. This is why I now run the MPT *1's on my Ram. Too many 40" LT tires that just...
Dyna Beads are ceramic, and the larger beads don't require filtered valve stems, but that doesn't mean they'll be safe with the CTIS system. Do you know the size of the orifice they need to stay out of? I'm assuming smaller that a airsoft ball, which I think is larger than the large Dyna Beads.
Thanks just checked your other post. I don’t abuse my vehicles, so the 370hp tune sounds very interesting. My only concern would be if it then had engine or trans heat issues when pulling steep winding high mountain passes in hot weather. Sounds like that tune won’t be in the CAT ET software by...
doh! Makes sense, and I feel stupid now. I knew there was a 2:1 reduction at the hub, so I should have figured that out. I assume correcting the Speedo also addresses the ABS? Thanks for this, it’s exactly what I was looking for. If the truck checked out this weekend, it’s going to feel like...
