I don't think there is TC lockup on 1st or 2nd, so no exhaust brake functionality. There is a setting in the ECM for the max RPM the trans should try to maintain on downshifts. By default it set at 2800. Yes, the trans will aggressively shift to the target gear.

Yes the default is 3rd. I want to change it to 5th or 6th. You can always downshift with the key pad if you want a lower gear and the trans isn't yet wanting to downshift.

I know this is the Eco Hubs thread, but since we had some lengthy discussion here about my feelings that an exhaust brake was critical for mountain driving when you have Eco Hubs installed I thought I would post a follow up. So, back to the exhaust brake conversation. Since I have now installed...

Guess I'm waiting to remove and reinstall the other 3 hubs until I can get my hands on the new lock setup. How much for a set of 4?

Okay, installed the new braided stainless line and vent hose yesterday. Keep in mind that the air line listed here is being used with the most current PacBrake part# C10382 which has the 1/8" MPT threaded inlet on the bottom rather than on the side like the original unit. This configuration uses...

Yes, it's for the Pacbrake and the factory air line was braided stainless.

Already did, will post a photo and part numbers once installed.

Okay, had the truck weighted today. As it sits currently it weighs 18,540 lbs. Given that this weight is less all the interior storage, center seat/seat belt, the roughly 50lbs decrease per aluminum wheel, troop seating and canvass cover/ bows/hardware, the curb weight as delivered from BAE...

Those are the same ones in my wheels. I was told the rubber beadlocks were standard with the aluminum wheels, but from this thread it sounds like they are an older style that has been replaced with the metal one that bolts together.

I wasn't trying to say my truck as it sits with the aluminum wheels weighs what the plate on the door says, just what BAE says it weighed as built.

I'm willing to bet the high pinion rear diff easily adds 200-300 lbs, maybe more. There is a lot of iron in that housing. Anyway, at some point I'll get it on the scales. I have removed a fair amount of weight too. All the cab interior storage, middle seat, troop seats etc.

No, just giving the info off of the plate on the door, but it has to be pretty close or they would be creating a situation where the truck could be overloaded since it states what the GVWR is. If the curb weight is actually only 17,500 and someone loads it to it rated max, you would be putting...

The curb weight of my 2008 M1078 A1R is 19,598, GVWR is 24,598, rear axle is rated at 11,158, so I would guess the rear springs in an M1078 A1R are the same as a 1079.

Anyone have a line on a supplier for the braided stainless air line to the actuator on the Pacbrake? I'm not aware of anyone locally to make one for me so, I'll be searching the web for a generic replacement, but hoping someone has already found the part. Thanks

No, the O-ring on the back of the wheel and the O-ring under the CTI lug nut are all there is. My CTIS system works perfectly and I have had zero issues…knock on wood.

Yes, this is why I was hoping someone knew the compressed length of the A1R coilover. The only feasible way to figure that out if you don’t know what it is, is to compress the shock and measure it. That’s an undertaking on an A1R coilover for obvious reasons. It seems from the lengths of the...

Kinda, but not really, there is upward and downward travel, so you have to get the truck in a situation that will fully extend the shock, which might not even be possible with an unloaded truck, but would think the coil spring will help in that regard.

Yes, I understand about the weights, but it will be several years before I could get final weights since I'm building the truck in an adventure rig. If the performance series shocks are available with adjustable damping, that will significantly help in terms of getting the valving right. I ran...

No I didn't, but I have no interest in an extended wait to get the shocks. Spoke with King today, interesting, they have zero knowledge of ever having built shocks for these trucks. Anyway, if I do a 3" body performance series king, they can ship in 6 weeks.

So it sounds like fox stopped making the LMTV specific shock, and it seemed like they were marketing on shock for both the front and rear. Aren't the A0 and A1 front and rear different? I have an A1R so the front is obviously different. Getting rid of the overly stiff, and noisy, front coilovers...
