Thanks. That will make it easier to hear the air leaks. I will still use the soapy water trick. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using Tapatalk

I just got my truck it's a M1078. I'm noticing all these little details which I'm not sure about. Where rear leaf springs connect to the spring shackles. Is there a bushing (rubber) that goes in there?

Will the cab air level with the engine off?

Can any of that hardware be revived with some oil and cleaning?

Yes for certain. Today was a bit busy. First I'll be able to get back to is likely on monday.

It looks like my drivers door handle is also having issues. I took the door panel off and and see some kind of epoxy repair involving some rubber tubing and a nut. It looks like the rod that connects the external handle to the latch is destroyed. In addition the internal lock switch is hanging...

Thanks for the posts. This makes sense why some people say the wheels with tires on them are 350lbs and others say they are 450lbs. I'm certain the run flat insert would add a bunch of weight.

I'm in the early phases of designing a box for the back of M1078. Has anyone looked into the webasto electro or diesel based heaters? This may be a bit complex for your use but here are my current (crazy/rough) ideas: Webasto Diesel powered block heater (with water pump). It preheats the...

Excellent thread. This is giving me great ideas. [thumbzup]

Ok thanks for clarifying. I've seen information suggesting there is a run flat insert in some tires. I guess I have more research to do.

do you have any photos if the inserts that make the tires run flats?

Anybody jump their truck?

I have been watching some Canadian big wrecker shows. They are using a new product that is a giant air bag. They are using like 4-5 of them to help lift the trailer and using a rotator to pick it the rest of the way. The bags don't have good traction on snow but they seem to be able to lift a...

DriveDarrel: That's solid advice. I would like a EGT gage to see how much it climbs when the truck is going uphill and use it as a barometer of workload. I do plan on doing water/methanol injection in the hopes of getting some improved fuel economy with no change to the fuel injection system...

I have an ear mark on a rear soft locker. If the ARB becomes available I may move it to the front and get a rear solid locker. Depends on offroad experience. Maybe I will just go full front and rear.

Snowtrac nome: if you did have any kind of winch is there anything to attach them to? What got you so stuck?

Deep mud: I think deep enough both vehicles will get mired. The extra ground clearance gives the Mog a huge leg up in this race. Steep Slope: the max slope looks to be a function of how low gearing do you have. I know the mog has a whole basement of low range working gears. Absent of having...

With any luck someone will make a kit with usable instructions. :wink:

DSD277 excellent find. Even better. They are cheap! :)
