Good point. I forgot that hole is larger. Probably not too many out there...

Found the NSN (2530-01-360-5954) and Meritor (Meritor 3219-W-4833) numbers, but does anyone have cross-reference part number for a civilian option? I don't currently have view access to the parts spreadsheet. Hope to soon though... Thanks in advance, Chris

+1 I'm as cheap as the next guy, but was very happy to have the diag kit and laptop when I had my HEUI issue. Is the kit + laptop expensive? Depends. In the one time I needed to use it on the road, it saved me on both the shop bill and waiting for time in their schedule to work me in. I...

I know it's legit coverage if it's set up correctly, but the "thing" with them is they need it to be 20 years old. It was clearly explained to me when I tried to insure my M1088 through them before it was 20 years old. That's why I ended up going with Progressive. I would be extremely...

Nope, that's a thing with them. I wouldn't want to be left holding the bag for a claim if things went south even if you secured coverage from an underinformed minion on their phone line. I know it's a different platform, but I am covered through Progessive as a commercial vehicle for private...

My experience starts with a PSA of "Don't do it this way", and then a way that works: https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/m1088-camper-conversion.193622/page-24#post-2529609 I selected a line which I thought was actively pushing fluid, but I was wrong. Actually traced back the plumbing...

That's why I financially support this forum- it and its members (at least the ones I've interacted with) are awesome! I want to see this place live forever!

Did you end up using the Allison part or the Ronmar brand?

So a donut 0.335" thick with an ID of 1.992" and OD of 2.920" of "soft-ish" alu or plastic is all that's needed?

Getting out into the hills.

Can confirm, 3.07's and ECO hubs, but done as Rick says "by circumstance" and not choice. I have 3.07's because they were in the truck when I got it, and I have ECO hubs because "half the drivetrain speed." I will go back to the 3.90's when the opportunity arises. The truck is certainly...

It's a cell checker or something like that. Not a functionality-critical accessory.

Hah! Small world indeed!

While out on the road this spring, I met a very pleasant Austrian overlanding couple in Utah with a Steyr. They are presently in Alaska and emailed that they are looking for Michelins as stated, and aside from a Google search, I don't have any strong leads to offer. Anyone here have a source...

I am in Oregon and carried through Progressive, insured as a commercial vehicle for private use. It is extremely reasonable through them, but you will have to work to find an agent who actually wants to deal with you. I also had many "No's" before the agent I'm with said, "Sure, no problem!"
