I am still wondering, which fan?

We looked at those and agree they look good. Getting deeper into our situation we found that someone had installed the MME knock off handles: passenger paddle upside down on driver's side and vice a versa. Doing so also meant they moved the interior latch at the strike to the opposite side...

We finished building the last of the linkages this morning for our new Trimark's. What an improvement over the MME versions: which had been installed reversed (passenger on driver; driver on passenger) and upside down, including the door catches, internals and a jury-rigged interior lock...

Isn't the path between an axle's quick release valve (qrv) and hub made up of two lines and their connectors? One from qrv to frame rail; next from frame rail to hub? A leak venting at the qrv affecting one wheel (that has good a wheel valve) must be a restriction in that path? A kink in a...

We monitor transmission temperature using Bluefire. We don't recall seeing a transfer case temperature opportunity in our J1939/J1508 diagnostic softwares and Bluefire does not have a gauge set up for transfer case temperature—

On our 2003 M1078A1 with the 3126 the tee fitting @Ronmar is mentioning is aside the primary fuel filter to the rear under the rear cab support arch. If I recall correctly it is a 3/8 ORB fitting (9/16-18 with an o-ring), which appears consistent with the diagram in CAT's SIS2GO app. For...

Here is a link tp a post with the spin ratios at certain rpm's with and without EcoHubs on 3.07 and 3.90 differentials. My thought is both are unnecessary. Though, I think @ckouba has both 3.07's and EcoHubs on his—

Keith here did cut the bumper connecting directly to the frame rails— https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/keiths-m1078a1-project-overland.157294/post-2502141

We are still working on final fit and finish, though four 31's fit without cutting out the tops, just the bottoms cut out. The tops help hold everything in place. A working, running concept proof of fit for two 2 - 31 in series battery banks in the box with a standard lid—

In SIS2GO using your serial number the 194-6722 is a part of the Sensor Group 239-2395 (which includes the o-ring). A silly question: are you sure you are returning to the correct hole? I seem to recall adding this sensor when we uprated the engine to 330hp by replacing a plug. Not sure where...

The past couple of weeks we have seen signs of a radiator leak. First, we left the truck running while dropping off something at our son's home. When we came out there was a drip under the radiator near the curb, though no sign of a leak on the radiator faces. During the following week we...

Likely sent to deaf ears, though I appreciate it—
