That sucks! I'm not too far from selling the whole mess and leaving the city/suburb also. Too many yuppies sipping wine at the "food" (diarrhea) carts literally around the corner. Not my scene.

Funny enough - I live in a very wealthy suburban area (wasn't when my family moved here with a VA loan in 1978 but 45 years and a lot of luck picking the right place - plus urban/suburban sprawl.....) and all my neighbors love my truck. They see it as a crime deterrent for our neighborhood and...

Not the best video. He doesn't clean the threads in the hub and clearly a bunch of them needed it. Doesn't torque anything (not that this is absolutely necessary for those with enough experience), and doesn't have the wheel off the ground to check the bearing pre-load before slapping on the...

Does your voltage regulator have LED's?

You really should start a new post - your issue is likely that you are losing pressure in the wet tank and the compressor is cycling on and then purging. A reasonable sized leak will dump enough pressure to load the compressor every 30 seconds or so. It only has to drop below 95 psi to cycle the...

I wired my backup and blind spot cameras to running light power so they don't work unless I turn on the parking lights or driving lights. Keeps me from driving away without any lights on.

On my truck the front parking lights only work if you select the Park mode. In service drive they are off and only function as turn signals. In park they illuminate as parking lights with the headlights off and blink brighter with the turn signals. I was under the impression this is how they are...

Two of the installs I have done (mine, and the 3.07 truck belonging to @ckouba) we have done full hub services including replacing the CTIS and wheel hub seals, repacking the inner bearings, and adjusting the bearing pre-load. On @Lostchain's truck we did only the ECO hubs but we did check the...

If the EGT's were higher with the ECO hubs that would manifest as more heat being dumped into the coolant and we would see the cooling system working harder. What we see with the ECO hubs is the cooling system working significantly less. My radiator fan rarely kicks on now. We also are seeing...

The axles still slide out the end of the hub. You just remove the cap and slide them out.

What is to misunderstand exactly? Do you understand the stock reduction hubs? They provide the 2:1 and in conjunction with the 3.90:1 ring and pinion used by all FMTV's this results in a final drive of 7.80:1,,,,, do you understand this? OK. The ECO hubs remove the 2:1 reductions so the final...

Wow. The "kit" from MRO was only $95 a year ago when I ordered one, Wild. Did the trick though for me.

The 3126b and the C7 are almost the same engine. They use essentially the same turbocharger (same size, etc) for both the 275 HP and 330 HP variants. Indeed even the 370 HP C7 used in the M-ATV is the same size - it just has a water cooled CHRA to prevent engine oil coking under extreme...

With computerized fuel injection the ECM is the gatekeeper to all potential upgrades. It regulates boost pressure and supplies the correct amount of fuel to go along with the additional air being delivered - and since these engines have no closed loop fuel control the engine computer has ZERO...

Is there something under your drain plug? My C7 I just stick a 5 gallon bucket under the drain plug and have a second one handy for when the first one is about 2/3 full..... 🤷‍♂️

Awesome! Glad you got it sorted. Now you know how easy it is too!

You should look through my 8 months of troubleshooting to find the source of a similar problem. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/2008-a1r-with-260a-charging-questions.206182/

That's nice and all. But wrong. The arm on the motor just swings around in a circle. It can't set any end limits. It just spins continuously or rotates one 360 and stops (in intermittent mode). Where it stops is where your wipers "park" or "pause" and that location is set by the orientation of...

Proud of the paint job too. $45k...... guess you are buying the paint job for $35k and getting a clapped A0 with over 13k on it rolling on Michelin maypops for $10k? I don't get it - John Deer doesn't make a single piece on these trucks. :shrugs:

That's a hidden wiper parking mechanism. Our trucks do not have a hidden (below the hood line) park position and don't have any of that mechanism. They simply stop or pause at their home position and all of that is internal to the transmission. The issue when they stop/pause in the wrong...
