I've never heard of this technique before but I'm a fan of this YouTube channel project farm. I highly suggest watching them especially before you consider buying it any kind of new tool. Using a cheap welder he successfully restored several batteries some of them to near new condition. Maybe...

CAT filter 1R-1807

6 gallons and 1 quart is what it took for the oil to be at the normal level. That matches up with the 25 quarts that I read. My streets at an angle and my driveway is at an angle so I had to park at at a certain angle on my driveway with blocks under two of the wheels to level it out.

Doing an early oil change on my 3126 since somebody tampered with my oil fill plug by yanking it out in the middle of the night and possibly putting something in but I don't know for sure. Caterpillar dealer had the CAT filter for $27, NAPA Auto parts down the street had the wix filter for $66...

I just happened to find online this interesting article regarding an efficiency study for the fmtv with different transmissions I thought it would be very useful information. FMTV Transmission Fuel Economy Study - Evaluation of AMT Performance Using ...

This may be a dumb question but I can't recall having seen this information. What is the stock gearing that fmtv A1 (3126) comes with? I had previously assumed that the 2.87 was the stock gearing.

Where can I find the information how to do the transmission relearning sequence for the A1? Not that I need it at the moment because I can't afford this upgrade yet but when I do...

That's one of the first things I did. Got a really high quality american-made locking diesel cap.

Yeah they didn't even unscrew it they just yanked it out really hard

I walked up to my truck today to put some tools in it and I found it while a party was happening at a problem house down the street last night somebody tampered with my oil fill! I have no idea what, if anything they may have poured into it. It wasn't quite due for an oil change yet but I...

You can use citrus strip but don't leave it on for very long. It will remove the carc after a while

I made a stencil and a graphic. You can use a cricut cutter or laser cut to make it. Apply it inside the storage doors.

Yeah I've had a hard time getting a panel in anything but the middle slot. I might try again today and see if I can get a panel in each slot. But I don't think the panel storage was either designed very well or had very good quality control or both. Ideally the center c-channel would be...

I'm thinking this is not going to work. Pretty sure they will end up coming off of one tire, becoming a dangerous flail and quickly destroy your truck! If you can lock the rear axles together, use on only one of the rear axles. I suggest test this out in RC, of you know someone with a 6x6 RC...

I like that fuse extender. I might modify the grill next to the fuse and use this plus a 3D printed part, it will look factory when it's done!

Yes as default the victron just has a jumper so you can put a switch on there or a relay controlled by your ignition. So I think then I will power from the power panel and put it inline fuse on it as well. One failing of the victron design is that it's internal fuse is not accessible from the...

I picked up this victron Phoenix 24 volt inverter with 250 Watts for a really good deal on eBay and plan to install it in the cab of my FMTV to run some power outlets for laptops, etc from. The question is where would be the good place to source the 24 volts and also it has a switch that can be...

I know BAE systems briefly sold a civilian version of the fmtv called the SD brazo. Apparently it used a Cummins ISB engine. https://expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/new-6x6-bae-systems-sd-brazos-truck-with-subframe-for-bliss-mobile-99-999.212222/

It would be nice if there could be a comparison between a stock truck, the one with the 3.07 gears, and the hub spider gear delete. A variety of terrains and speeds and loads.
