    ECO DIRECT DRIVE HUBS

    I cannot for the life of me figure out why literally every single person who "knows" what the actual code for the speedo back responds with "do calculus" instead of "the number is 101010xwhatever".

    Post Eco-Hub Speedometer Adjust

    There are many, many eco-hubs discussions. I don't know which one you mean and i'm still finding new ones. You said 123. Did you mean #1, #2, and #3? And if so, is that from the left or from the right? From the mess of posts and threads i can't find where people have even come to a consensus...

    Post Eco-Hub Speedometer Adjust

    Who knows the correct dip switch settings for the A0 speedometer once Eco-Hubs are installed?

    LMTV Frame twist

    I don't see any "panel rippling" in that picture my man. I do see a lens flare artifact. Is that what you're seeing and thinking it's a physical defect on the truck or am i mistaken?

    Huge mistake. I won a GP auction…. Cali FMTV Project “ ‘Merica”

    Do NOT rush when installing your eco hubs because you think "it's technically possible to do in 4 hours" that "you should be able to". The people who brag about how quickly they got it done are the one's who end up having to re-do every single hub and spend 3 times as much time because they...

    LMTV Frame twist

    Then you're a tougher man than I my friend :ROFLMAO: I've also been having some crazy thoughts about the possible ramifications of slinging the axles above the leafs instead of below... Keep the same sized tires but the frame, the cab, and the whle truck just dropped what... 7 inches or...

    LMTV Frame twist

    Dope! Makes my day to hear someone I follow for advice has a similar thinking. Yup... The problem is we have these 47" tires and etc. And i say "problem" because "I cannot physically bring myself to put smaller tires on something that had 47"ers lol. You just "can't go smaller" once you have had...

    LMTV Frame twist

    Hey Ron! I just finished watching your video about resetting idle with the on/off and accelerator-press method actually. So I've thought about the axle load front/back a lot. First and foremost because, as almost impossibly unlikely it is to occur, i am TERRIFIED of hitting the brakes too hard...

    LMTV Frame twist

    I'm necro'ing this thread because, since lots of people are now buying these trucks to build a camper on the back and they will no doubt eventually find this thread as i did, a critical point still remains missing from it. Someone even went so far as to say that with the bed removed "there will...

    Extremely heavy throttle pedal on 1996 A0 1078 - A1 electronic pedal swappable?

    AH so you're saying there's a lubrication... anything.. behind the dash panel near the hand throttle? Wish i could get in there right now but no fancy workshop with interior lighting so i can monkey around with trucks indoors at night lol. Will definitely check it out in the light of day...

    Extremely heavy throttle pedal on 1996 A0 1078 - A1 electronic pedal swappable?

    I'm already missing the electronic gas pedal on my previous Mitsubishi Fuso. I read that apparently the A1 trucks did have an electronic throttle but I have found zero results when looking for the actual parts online considering swapping them. I also looked for the same thing but from the...

    Air Rupture In Cab - What Is This And How Did It Happen?

    Just getting stranger. So i think i can safely claim to be certain "why" it happened but that just leads me even further down the rabbit hole. So, that black air line directly comes in contact with the brake pedal. Not only that, it's DIRECTLY in the path, meaning every time you press the brake...

    Air Rupture In Cab - What Is This And How Did It Happen?

    Yeah it's that black hose (Maybe 1/4 in?) that's extremely rigid that "popped out of" the brass fitting. In the (blurry) photo i "jammed it back in there to get me home before the cops fined me for improper parking at the UPS store LMAO". It doesn't appear like it broke, more than it just popped...

    Cost for a 1078 Bed?

    That's actually not a bad idea now I think about it! Still, i'd need an axel/suspension system but something to think about.
