Is there a market for the outer hubs, I installed eco hubs and now the gears are just taking up space in my shop for me to trip on.

Have I thanked you yet for all your help? If not, thank you in advance. You are one very smart man. People like you on this site that gives me the encouragement to do this on my own. It seems very daunting but with help from someone like you it’s easy.

Keeping my fingers crossed I hope this is the reason why I’ve been having alternator issues. This is the 12 V positive from battery to the PPD. Looks like somewhere in the past it might’ve been cut on accident, possibly by somebody changing a battery. It was behind the batteries in the battery...
Since I have you tuning in right now, can you help me out and tell me what this device is next to the polarity protection device that I’m pointing to? Is it important or can I delete it?

Thanks for the link, it’ll be tough but I feel like I can buy the connector and splice to the existing harness.
Like I said, the rest of the wiring on the truck is in great shape just that last section maybe only four or 5 inches of the harness is cracked like that everything else on the truck...
Oh man…I have a Frankenstein truck from the military because when I got the truck from Gov Planet, I found that the transmission had a date stamp of 2012 and the truck is a ‘98. There is signs the truck was once picked up with a forklift and both driver-shafts along with the transmission and...
I live in El Paso and my truck came from Fort Bliss. I have checked behind the dash and the only spot that the wires are doing this is right at the connection point to the grey block not sure what to call that thing. I hate that I found it because what I didn’t know didn’t hurt but now I do...
Wire integrity issue, I removed the kick panel to start the install of the Victron 24v to 12v converter under the fuse panel and here is what I found. Everything is working as it should but how can I repair them without replacing the wire assembly. I was thinking to use “liquid electrical tape.”...
I had a feeling you couldn’t be stumped lol. I’m excited to tell you that I’m finally going do the conversion that you have on your YouTube video stay tuned.

Ronmar I believe I have a question that just might stump you but I would be surprised. I have a ‘98 M1078 with ECO hubs. I was driving it down the highway in seventh gear going 73MPH. The alternator in 7th gear was only given 26.2 V on the 24V gauge and on the 12V gauge I was getting 13.4V...
It can be done, it just takes a little work. I had a local glass shop cut a piece of glass and glue it in place. Endless Adventures had great DIY YouTube

Oh man…this makes perfect sense! Two days ago I capped off the front glad hands, just because I never dreamed of needing them. I will definitely try this first, thank you.
I did a thing tonight and I’m not sure if what I did was bad or did something mess up. After working on my M1078 A0 changing the passenger mirror, I released the parking brake and let the truck roll back against a wheel chalk about ten feet away, my driveway is relatively flat but I didn’t want...
Make sure to pack the bearings good on the "dry" side of the hub, other wise the inside bearings and the outside bearings will be wet from the gear oil.
I took my brake shoes off, maybe they are in the way and stiff springs are making it difficult to remove the hub. Hey, if what you did works, then run with it.
Glad to see you figured it out, now lets talk about the long list of toys you have listed. I like the pic you posted of your LMTV, where did you find such a clean ride?
