    ECO Hubs Who needs 3:07 gears?

    Our Bluefire Instant Fuel Economy text gauge works, though Average Fuel Economy does not. I haven't figured out how to get useful Trip readings either. I haven't researched how as yet, though I would prefer to configure my own gauges, or at least be able to see what data they are actually...

    Top 5 fixes to your LMTV

    Grew up in Utah, I know what you mean. I have assumed we would need chains for snowy conditions. Too bad we can't repurpose our old rubber into studded snow tires—

    Top 5 fixes to your LMTV

    We have front and rear lockers in our Wrangler and have only used them while 'wheeling' with others. Hauling our offroad trailer to boondocking sites we are in 4wheel high and some times 4wheel low, though we have never needed the lockers on the way in or out pulling the trailer. When we have...

    Clunking in drivers dash, foot area or under the floor – M1078A1?

    An M9. Our son would like that souvenir. I'll suggest it to him. Thumping with a mallet I have not tried. Thank you. I think the pivots are good. Though other than rocking the cab about and watching how it raises and lowers I haven't inspected them—

    Clunking in drivers dash, foot area or under the floor – M1078A1?

    1— Shackles, front and rear, are in a recovery gear bag; 2— Replaced cab air bags with NOS months ago. We appreciate all suggestions. So far @Mullaney @GeneralDisorder and @Ronmar have the best suggestions and hardest to locate or silence—

    Clunking in drivers dash, foot area or under the floor – M1078A1?

    We have a clunky noise that I am yet to locate on the drivers side. It almost sounds like something is able to slide/swing side to side, though will also clunk over certain terrain variations. We can make it sound while driving down a county road and steering side to side. And it clunks going...

    Caterpillar 3126B oil cooler problems

    The IFS is the high pressure filter on the HEUI output? Since I haven't kept up on this issue: filtering after the HEUI pump is better than before? or simply the best place to add a secondary filter? Next question is for the time and money, isn't replacing the oil filter housing gasket best...

    Thank you @Keith Knight, and everyone else for thoughts and questions. While I would prefer not to do this you have pointed out that for some time and a couple hundred dollars this is a maintenance task level project. Where did you find torque specifications and such? I recall having books...
