Does bobbing mean cutting one or two axles off the back? The Brits already use a one axle bobbed M1070 (3 axles as opposed to 4) and It actually does have taller and way wider tires, R24x21 tires. then the usual 16x20s. And the tow ratings appear to be the same as the 4 axle HET. Of course...

A C15 with a 13 spd can pull upwards to 120K or more, compared to the 8.3/Allison which can barely pull itself. But the gearing would overall be pretty low compared to an over the road truck. But the 13 spd would have an overdrive.

I dont see why you couldn't run the CTIS. The tire pressure for the CTIS system should be fine. The load rating on a 16 is 5k more then a 14 (if I remember correctly) so even if the pressure is less then some applications running a 16 it will have at least the same and really more capacity at...

Really! What does the instructions say about the install as regards to sensors? I assume it must come in a kit form, can you give me an idea what steps and what is required to do the install? I am disabled for a while right now but I did talk someone into taking a picture at the speedo cable to...

It must be a typo (meaning 5.09) or just wrong as .509 wouldn't make any sense.

I know this is an old thread but as I was interested in 3070 transmissions I came across it. I may have found the ratios as well:http://www.allisontransmission.com/docs/default-source/specification-sheets/int3700_sa5343(201306)blk.pdf?sfvrsn=2 Does anyone know of a source for wiring harness and...

My M1070 has the original design older one piece combination speedo/tach gauge w/out hour meter, instead of the more typical and updated separate speedo tach gauges. Well, I came across a new panel with the separate gauges and would like to use it in mine. But when I got it and was able to see...

Thats a nice setup. Did you nail the right length belt the first time? I was just going through how the M1070 system works and wonder if it would be a good choice for you. Probably not since you added an additional 2 batteries. Since the M1070 only uses the normal 4 it needs to be set up the way...

Thanks! I know it can be confusing for some who are not familiar whats going on. Old news to most. I have found the M1070 system to be even more challenging. Along with the system above it is also sourcing 12v power from two of the four 12 volt batteries and charging them both with a...

The body module I was looking to use is a 12 or 14 yard ( i have heard them called both) dump module. I know I can adapt this to fit with what I am thinking of doing, but one thing I was trying to figure out was how long the modules are so I have a rough idea how much frame I need to have to...

You can hook the Solargizer up to the batteries directly if thats more convenient. I know this is known by most people but for those confused, The 4 battery system works as follows. The first 2 of the 4 batteries are wired in series to make one 24V "battery" made up of 2 of the 12v batteries...

I have an idea floating around in my head, but right now I need to confirm from someone in the know, wether the Military's PLS loading system vehicle's cargo locks are of the same design and at the same dimensional locations as a typical 20 foot sea container. In other words can a...

EBAY has a few belt driven pumps like the ones mentioned above. Do a Muncie search and you will see them. They are around $400. But like said previously you will need to fab mounts. A portable gas unit would need to be at least a 11-13 hp Honda to provide a decent flow. It would still be much...

Get the model number of your 13 speed, you can usually find out the torque rating online with the model number of the trans.

Actually I went back and read the info that came with my inverters and at the same time I was thinking about how you mentioned to use an equalizer. I never paid much attention to the difference between an equalizer and an inverter, but now I see how by wiring the "inverter" slightly different it...

Thanks for the clarification on the 24v plug. So if the 12V alt charges 2 batteries(not one) then it must charge one of the batteries on each side of the pairs that are wired in series. I have some nice 100 amp Cooper Bussman inverters but I was thinking I didnt need one for this application but...

I am still trying to get a hold of a wiring diagram for the M1070 that I can actually read, and one I could print and read afterward would even be better. I had posted earlier that my M1070 doesn't have a battery disconnect, and as I am getting ready to do that, I first had a few questions. It...

Yeah but the military thought they needed more power. And we always think that about everything.

The problem is like wreckerman said is that military trucks have everything going against them for fuel mileage. The are heavy for their load capacity, they are geared wrong for fuel mileage, they have no aerodynamics, they have large rolling mass with the tires, and they use a lot of energy...

That brings back memories of my time in Queen Creek.
