Helps with the indicator lamps in the annunciator panel as they tend to wash out in bright sun.

If you make the curved channel you could use the front rubber edging like the original but leave gaps for the air to blow directly through to the glass. Just cut the weatherstrip into like 6" segments and leave gaps for the air to flow through.

I don't think so because that doesn't seem to be a thing on the 4x4 trucks without the aux cooling system. If it was a databus thing then the ECU would be doing it on all of them since they all use the same ECU programing other than HP/TQ and they definitely all use the same TCU with no changes...

Hhhhmmm need to review the schematics. Maybe there's some trans temp over-ride on the later MTV.....

Radiator fan ECU temp is 205. Thermostats are 190 though I have seen some 180's as well. And I don't have any rhyme or reason to that other than were all CAT branded. I don't believe the engine computer knows or cares what gear you are in. I have not seen any indication (that I can recall) that...

One of the small reasons the newer trucks are SO much better. The A1R uses the plexi-glass defrost channel. Visibility was improved since accidents due to poor visibility and lack of a ground guide are the some of the most common and most unfortunate accidents that occur in the military and they...

Ah excellent all you need is boots and grease. (y) OP said "bushing" thus my usual reply for unobtainium bushings.

Sadly no. The official way to fix that is to replace the rods. Some people have used various methods to "fix" them. If I were going to do it, I would burn out what's in them, and use pour-able urethane. Smooth-on makes a whole range of products...

Not to mention the losses due to driving above ~50-55 mph which become overwhelmingly significant the faster you go.

Are you running the aux trans cooler? I doubt it would matter.

It makes a HUGE difference in cooling - it might as well be doubling your cooling system. Read through the ECO hubs thread. When I installed the first set (besides Mike's prototype) in my 2008 M1079 A1R and did a mileage test run my radiator fan literally never turned on while the lighter...

How heavy you planning on being? Especially if you are going to ECO hubs and your cooling system is now twice the size it needs to be and your engine/transmission is turning half its RPM and making significantly less heat....... All that is to say you can simply delete the whole mess and just...

A reverse polarity situation such as accidentally hooking a ground to a 28v power source or something shorting but not causing a fuse or breaker to disconnect can cause the buzzer to sound continuously.

Yeah the check ball seats act as orifices and can be removed. The plugs on the opposite side of the cylinder from the ports appear welded or pressed or something but are actually threaded and can be removed with a left hand drill bit and extractor to reveal the check valves that prevent fluid...

I had my cab cylinder lock out once in the up position. Had to wait for a bit and it eventually unlocked on it's own. That was before I changed out the cylinder for the cab lift ram upgrade kit. I'm of the opinion that the check valves in the tire crane ram are silly and I'm in favor of...

FWIW I have the 260A / 300A HIMARS style brackets for $250. I had 15 of them made. The HIMARS bracket fits the 260A but was designed for the larger and heavier 300A. They nixed the welded spring-board design in favor of a bracket that is bent from 3/8" plate and the only weld is for the pivot...

At that price? Chinese knock off for sure. $170 retail means it cost $20 to build it. Maybe $15. Non-Chinese alternators are in the $600 to $800 range retail for your average passenger car/truck from the dealership. Not low volume stuff - but like a Honda Accord or a Ford F150. Maybe upwards of...

MIL-PRF-5606H Aviation "red" fluid. It has better thermals, better moisture resistance and is better filtered and lighter in weight than normal tractor fluid. If you are going to swap it out though, it's not particularly easy to flush the various components without removing them. 5606 is RED...

Used tanks with brackets and straps typically run $200 to $400. Guys be parting that stuff out in favor of larger tanks many times.

Longer than you might think. Still see them from time to time. The investment was in figuring out the part number and what it fits. The HIMARS technical manuals aren't obtainable and Niehoff recently nuked their online support so figuring out what even to look for took some effort. Then it's all...
