    Wade into your rebuild of your truck slowly. Ask lots of questions. The diaphragms in the air brake cans can be replaced, BUT doing them without working knowledge can kill you. The springs inside are so powerful they can easily crush a face. Better to replace. There are miles of air lines on...

    Your second priority is to expound on SS how much you love your 3116 mechanical engine and thoroughly annoy C7 owners :ROFLMAO: Some C7 owners disconnect their transmission and tuck in their engines every night before bed rofl Wait for it!......... T minus 5,4,3,2,1..... Here comes member GD 😆

    Your very first project is to replace the "Oil Line of Death", per FM AKA Sean and Willow's videos.

    If you purchased any auto fuses for your FMTV on AMAZON, you better watch this fire safety warning!

    I have bought replacement circuit breakers for mine too. Not cheap. Plastic shells seem to break over time.

    New ongoing opportunity upcoming to move my Expedition Campers across US

    Hello, I will be opening my company quite soon, supplying Composite Expedition Campers for trucks. These campers range from slide-in F150 size campers up to about 30'x8'x8'. Some mount on military trucks, etc. I am only looking for professional acting people who treat my customers well. I limit...

    Standard Test Equipment port (A0's and?... why/why not utilize this more than we are doing now.

    An interesting discussion would be "what are the possible engine swaps for an LMTV?" C7's are pretty plentiful, thus you can get one fairly cheap, but it would be interesting to hear what else might fit. Like the larger Cummins, or an older L series, big cam, etc. That kind of thing. If someone...

    I get a bit nervous when I hear "Scope on a rope". I definitely will not be bending over to pick up my phone 🤣

    Cat C7 Life Expectancy Engines are measured by a two-category system called the B10 and the B50. The first category indicates how many engines will fail at a certain mileage mark. The 10 stands for 10% of the engines will fail prior to reaching the B50 mile mark. The 50 in the B50 stands for...

    AdeptApe has a youtube channel where he talks about the pros and cons of each CAT engine. Maybe a hyper maintenance program would allow it to run longer. He would be the guy to ask. FYI New FMTV's made by BAE had a Cummins.

    Just to be clear, a Powerprobe should never be used on the outputs on an ECM / ECU/ electronic brain like on a 3126. The Picoscope is pretty much safe. Then again, come to think of it, you don't have to worry about the 3126, since they are best used on the bottom of the ocean keeping ships from...

    I tried one of those yellow multi-meters once. I couldn't get it to work right. Maybe it was just a Fluke. :ROFLMAO:

    For the basic 12 and 24 volt stuff on my truck, I use the PowerProbe 3. Not expensive. A used Picoscope pretty affordable. Check Ebay. Accessories for Picoscope are WAY cheaper from Hantek. Hantek has a pretty good scope too. Practical for FMTV owners? LOL Is a 2.5 or 5 ton military truck...

    I would agree that an AO at first glance, would not provide much electrical data. This is where the scope World has really grown. It is a long way from the original Sun and Snap-on automotive scopes. Lets face it, most of us don't need a scope can hear that something is off. We can diagnose the...
