I certainly hope you are correct and it runs down the freeway smooth as a baby’s bottom because it’s a long way from Maryland to California:)

The truck I hope to be buying, will no for sure when I inspect it this Saturday, is a 2008 M1078A1R and from what I understand we’re delivered with a 275hp tune. Are all the parts the same as the 330/370 motors? I’m more interested in longevity since I’ll be building it into an expedition...

Thinking about it now, I think my previous post was incorrect. If you engage the PTO while in neutral, it just won't let you shift into gear but doesn't disengage the PTO. If you engage the PTO while in gear, you can drive while operating the winch, but if you then shift back into neutral, you...

Thanks, since I have no experience with the CTIS system yet, I'm a little in the dark in understanding what you posted. I assume the filters are inboard of the pipe you mention and not on the end where it would prevent anything from entering it?

Interesting, still probably hard to come by in my area:)

Okay, so another newbie here. Going to look at a truck this weekend that has the factory winch. I also feel it's in the way of a larger fuel tank, but after reading this thread I'll figure out a work around for that. Now relative to the comments about you can't be in gear when the PTO is...

I would imagine it would be difficult to find a shop with a tire lathe large enough to handle these tires, but I could be wrong, and yes, I can attest to the fact that no amount of beads will fix an out of round tire. This is why I now run the MPT *1's on my Ram. Too many 40" LT tires that just...

Dyna Beads are ceramic, and the larger beads don't require filtered valve stems, but that doesn't mean they'll be safe with the CTIS system. Do you know the size of the orifice they need to stay out of? I'm assuming smaller that a airsoft ball, which I think is larger than the large Dyna Beads.

Cool, thanks.

Thanks just checked your other post. I don’t abuse my vehicles, so the 370hp tune sounds very interesting. My only concern would be if it then had engine or trans heat issues when pulling steep winding high mountain passes in hot weather. Sounds like that tune won’t be in the CAT ET software by...

doh! Makes sense, and I feel stupid now. I knew there was a 2:1 reduction at the hub, so I should have figured that out. I assume correcting the Speedo also addresses the ABS? Thanks for this, it’s exactly what I was looking for. If the truck checked out this weekend, it’s going to feel like...

Yes, I’m aware of that, was just hoping someone who has already done could share the setting for the speedo as a starting point.

So, I'm flying out to the east coast to look at a truck to purchase friday evening. If i buy the truck, I'll be flying back out in late September to drive it home. The truck will have Eco Hubs installed prior to the trip home, Maryland to California, but I'm expecting the cruising speed to be...

I run Dyna Beads and just installed new tires. When the old tires came off, the beads were in perfect shape and completely free and rolling around. In fact, I plan to vacuum them out next time I change tires and reuse them.

I have been running Dynabeads in my 335 80 R20 MPT 81's on my Ram for years. When I spoke to the owner of Dynabeads he asked me how much the tires weighed, not tire and rim. The Conti's are 115 lbs and he said for that weight the chart called for a little over 14oz's, so I bought 16oz bags. They...

Reluctant to post this here, don't want to redirect the thread again, but my question is somewhat related to Eco Hubs. Is the 370/931 tune safe on a C7?

Okay, I have agreed on a purchase price for a 2008 M1078A1R, flying out to the east coast to inspect and hopefully commit to buying the truck Friday evening. If all goes well, I'll be flying out and driving the truck back across the country in late september. The truck will have Eco Hubs...

T Thanks guys! All good info, and now I feel like I have hijacked the Eco Hubs thread:) On the bright side, I’m getting close to the 10 posts I need to be able to PM the OP about a set of hubs. I do also need to make a decision on 3 axles vs 2 as well. A recent acquaintance, whose is on...

You’re the third person to mention that, so I guess I should look into it:)

Truck will be registered in South Dakota for now. I’m currently looking to buy a home in a state that I can register the truck in easily so reg will be moved once I find the right property. And for what it’s worth, you actually still can register an LMTV/FMTV in CA. Thanks
