    My cruise works perfectly and make long distance travel a pleasure. Along with the hi speed gears, AC, and tinted widows. My cost because I do all the research and work is minimal. ECM pins $19, ECM diagram and pin locations free with lots of research, wire from ECM to dash shielded 18 gauge 6...

    Adding Cruise Control to C7

    I just did this on my CAT 3126 last year and I did wire it up to a brake light switch. If the ECM has a brake input I never came across it doing all of my research and it would Not turn off the cruise when I hit the brakes prior to hooking up to the brake light switch. Also here is a ”Warning”...

    FMTV Steering Wheel center Cap

    I do still have a few left and after they are gone I don’t plan to make any more.

    I guess it is about time I introduced myself and a couple questions.

    LOL!!! That’s my foot in the picture! And it works great! The aluminum tubing fits over the studs and fits through the wheel holes then lift a little and it slides perfectly in place all by yourself.

    LMTV strobe Light connector

    I tried editing my original post and added Convoy and Beacon to the thread title but it didn't work. Does any one know a way to change the title of this thread to include Convoy and Beacon? In hopes others can find it when they don't know the proper name of it. And if there are other names that...

    LMTV strobe Light connector

    The connector arrived and it worked perfectly. Be careful the light is polarity sensitive and hooking it up incorrectly blew a 5amp fuse inside the light. This is how mine need to be wired, but check and test yours before soldering and doing final installation of the plug.

    LMTV strobe Light connector

    Thanks Wandering Neurons, the ITT/Cannon part # CA3106E10SL-4P-B-02 seems to be correct looking at a 2-D drawing on ITT/Cannon site. So I ordered one from Newark. After I receive it and test it I'll update this thread. FYI the link to the other post had the same part number BUT missing an"E" in...

    3126 ECU mystery box

    Pope is correct. Mine had a harness, by passing it. When I had to replace my ECM/ECU I removed that EMP box.

    Newbie Considering LTMV: Must I Buy A2?

    Another advantage to the 3126 and c7 models is that you can add cruise control to it. My favorite Mods to my 2003 LMTV are, gear change, power boost to 330hp, A/C, and the Cruise control finishes it off making for a very pleasant short and long distant driving vehicle.

    Wehring - Continental AC70 chevron tires and locker

    I seen a set at a local tire store, they were asking $100 each. All the measurements are correct and I like how the CTIS is mounted. To make it work from what I can tell would require a cross hole drilled in the large wheel stud that supplies air to the CTIS an o ring behind the wheel on that...

    FMTV steel grilles

    I have joined the club ! And yes I have lost my mine !

    I used a right angle grinder with a cut off wheel to cut the Huck bolts off. Warning the Huck bolts have a lot of tension so sometimes just before you cut all the way through the bolt, the tension causes it to pop off in an explosive way and they go flying at a high rate of speed.
