Hi im located in Redlands Ca 92373. Looking for a good CAT mechanic that can install a 290HP OEM turbo and governor in 3116 and re-adjust the rack. I tried my local CAT dealer and they are not that excited to work on non OEM stuff. Especially an ex military truck converted to an RV. I have turbo...

Thanks for the intel. I did watch the video his is WTEC III. He did a great job on the video.

Hi I just purchased an air activated PacBrake specifically for 3116 CAT, as I have a 1997 LMTV M1078. However this was for the Kodiak top kick. I'm trying to figure out what do I have to do for the WTEC II trans 3070SP? Is there any special pin-out to tie into the trans controller to let the...

I do know from my line of work as an auto dealer I too own an m1078 and have already confirmed Vehicle inspection will be needed but if you keep your truck "as is" the weight fees will kill you annually. $1000 bucks. If you convert to a RV it has to be already done and permanent in nature. And...

Well we officially have brakes now on my truck. It was a heck of a time to figure out. It was a combination of three things. Lines were crossed in dash and switched there as well as they were hooked up wrong in rear and a regulator was bad in the rear. Had to compare these to another rig to...

Got the new brake chambers in today. It looks like they just thread into the axle housing. Sent from my SM-G928P using Tapatalk

Doghead. Thanks for help. Maybe you could elaborate on attaching pictures using tapatalk. It only allows picture link. Obviously a full blown desktop computer version probably will have the options you mention. Please advise. Sent from my SM-G928P using Tapatalk

You think I will have any issues with these newer cages since my rig has 2009 front and rear axles. Sent from my SM-G928P using Tapatalk

Ok we spent some time at my shop messing with my truck. It appears that right rear forward brake chamber is leaking air. You can hear it bleeding out with park brake enabled. Also some genius appears to have broken the key on the inside of the brake chamber probably in an attempt to release the...

NDT thanks for intel. Im having truck towed back to my shop I never usually let people work on my things but figured that this may have been over our head. Now I see I can't trust anyone but myself. I will get the truck back and then I can succinctly document what is and isn't working and what...

Diesel you are correct I think it may be both. Parking brakes not engaging and rear shoes are stuck. They are not stuck so bad the truck wont move they are obviously dragging. I'm learning these systems and wonder if that air valve in front behind bumper has anything to do with these issues...

Here are pics from today Sent from my SM-G928P using Tapatalk

Ok guys just got done driving my truck for the first time. Unfortunately it's not good news. These knuckleheads said they fixed everything. They obviously don't know what they are doing. My parking brakes still are not working. I tried draining all the air and truck is still hard to move. With...
