No I haven't. I am in the beginning of my build, so have a few other items to buy for now. I am planning to do them over this winter. Unfortunately I won't have anything to compare them to as I haven't had the chance to take it to elevation since I purchased the truck. I'm going to take a...

Ok. I am just outside of Buena Vista and have a spare that you may use. Let me know

i am on top of trout creek pass if you still need a spare to borrow.

I don't have a set yet, but I like to be prepared. I'm guessing really the only part that may have an issue would be the splined hub. It was by no means an indication that I thought parts would break, but if it can, it usually will happen to me. 😁

Ok, I have to ask, I would assume you will continue to make these available as long as there is a need/demand? I am very interested, but also in the beginning of building the habitat box. Would like to get a set, but will not be ready until July or August. Also, will you be selling spares? We...

As anyone is installing and testing these, it would be great to have a video or pics of the process as well as testing the difference between original and new. I am excited to see how these go together, perform and the reliability.

Ok, I'm game. Throwing my hat in.

Thanks. Engine seems fine on the temps, fan kicks on at 205 as it should be. Pointed laser thermometer at transmission and its showing 237. That is the casing, which will retain heat. Just thought it was a little warmer than I should have been. That was after pulling up a mountain pass for 30...

I just got a IR laser thermometer, (which I probably shouldn't have because now I'm running all over checking temps). I was curious what the temperature of the transmission and transfer case should be running at? 2002 M1078a1. So far truck is empty/stock, but pulling mountain passes in...

They look awesome. I am interested but need to build my habitat box first. I would like to get a set for my 1078 later this year. Great job on these!

I am sorry if you have already posted before, but aluminum or steel for the hub caps?

Sorry, M1078a1. Fat fingered it!

Yes, just purchased in January. 2002 M1017a1. I have started the build. Once the snow melts, in July at altitude, I will be testing to see how it preforms pretty much stock and then go from there. I understand the size weight and other limitations of these vehicles and do not plan to push it...

Thanks for the response. I just posted below about the area/conditions that we are typically in and I know it's not the normal for most. I am very intrigued by what you are doing and will be following along. Awesome work that you are doing and I look forward to seeing your continued testing...

I appreciate the insight. A couple of my thoughts were by losing the 2:1 how much would that effect the power or ability at 10-12k in elevation? I would be losing about 15-20% of the engine just with the elevation and then losing the 2:1 as well. I'm guessing that how I am wanting to use the...

Have you done any testing at low off road conditions? I am in Colorado and will be using our truck as a expedition/rv vehicle. We explore at 10-12k elevation mountain roads/trails. I hate to lose to much of the low end and especially at elevation, but would also like the hwy side of it. I...

Sooooo, re-installed the starter and it works just fine. As I was originally removing the starter, I had noticed a broken wire. I figured I had done it as I was removing the starter. Well, that wire was the reason for the starter not working. Extra work, cleaned up the starter, and learned...

Thanks to everyone for all the info. I will look at the voltage drop at the starter/solenoid as well as the contact and the cables/ground when I get home next weekend. I appreciate all the responses. Awesome community to be a part of. Thanks again

Finally got it out. Best tool working on these is the biggest tool, (hammer)! Thank you all for the help. Tested the starter and it seems to work fine not under load. Spins fine and pinion gear pops out/engages. Going to be in the big city this week, so I'm hoping to find somewhere to have it...

I have not. I will try that today. It's just weird how solid the starter still is with everything disconnected and un-bolted. Must be binding somewhere. I'll try turning over the engine a bit to see if that helps.
