I’m gonna go get my popcorn…. This is gonna be cool!

I’d like to see a thread dedicated to this. It seems so many problems come from the batteries and associated components that could be eliminated as you state above. Going to a battery bank and step down to run the 12v side seems like it would be the way to go.

What products did you use to insulate the doghouse?

Great post, good refresher before winter ops set in here in NH.

My 2003 M1078A1 has an ether momentary switch on the dash as pictured above.

I recall watching an old video, like WWI style where the subject was unstucking a truck with a winch. The anchor they used was brilliantly simple to me. It was a chain rated for the pull it was laid on the ground and every few links they drove a stake through the chain probably 4’ deep or so...

Very nice update. I like the extra blinkers, and yes it’s my experience too that nobody can see the stock units flashing. I was working lights yesterday as well. I added bed work lights and reverse lights too. Both are a big help!

Errr, From what I recall reading about the transmission…. When the PTO is engaged the trans controller locks up the converter clutch to cut the converter to eliminate slipping and heating the trans.

I came across a two post lift recently for short money. It was a 12k Mohawk, old school unit. They are as overbuilt as a brick outhouse….. would have no issue lifting the M1078A1 with a pressure regulator adjustment. But it would have required a truckload of concrete and outdoors to boot…. I...

🤦‍♂️ Forgot about that style…..

From past experience….. and not necessarily on these trucks. But as control knobs go, if it has an Allen set screw, loosen it. If a knob doesn’t have a set screw it’s friction fit and you just pry it off. Just be gentle! They’ve been there for a long time.

Ahhh great, now I’ve got to go find where my drivers side cab lift cylinder went off to…. And just when I thought I was getting this truck sorted.

Shamefully, I haven’t wired my winch ever though it’s been on the truck for over a year.

Sounds like a bad connection in one of the heavy wires, ground or power. I had a similar issue.

I’m hoping to pick up a bender here in a bit. The plan is to make brush guards etc. probably won’t happen until next year, but we will see.

Sounds like a good place to repurpose an old school rotary switch to enable functionality between programs. That way it would break power before restoration to the selected circuit. I’m sure someone will come up with a much cooler solution.

Is there a write-up somewhere that covers replacement and updating to JIC? Sizes, fittings etc? I don’t have problems yet, but would like to start collecting the parts to have on hand for when it does.

Yep, common name is rim guard. I’ve had that in my Kubota tires for ten years or more.

I had no idea they were ever self canceling!🤯 Mine should be tonight though!
