When I talked with a rep at Fox, and we started discussing vehicle weight, he said none of their production were appropriate for this much weight.

I have done fuel systems like this in the past, simple, no valves easy to remote control.

Well you could probably add a second sender and switch between that and the main gauge sender input to the MMDC…

There is a discussion floating around here about shocks(search feature in LMTV section only), will have to look in my notes for the option I found most likely… OEM Shocks: 20.94” to 33.26” 12.32” travel 5/8” top, 7/8” bottom (16mm top, 22MM bottom) bolts the most likley off the shelf I found...

There are a few shock options in our weight class, but as mentioned will require bushings to adapt to the hardware size used…

Yea mine had a camel hair or a spider leg in it when I got the truck:)

Major service probably entails changing ALL the lower gearbox fluids. They ran all the vents to threaded bosses, or they have threaded ports or already have hose barbs. There are if i recall correctly 13 vents? Those could all be routed up to a air box up near the snorkel, and if sealed...

my videos are for the 3116, but the primary fuel system between the 3 engines is basically the same. tank, primer/filter, lift pump, main fuel filter, head fuel gallery, pressure regulator and return to tank. Primary fuel pressure(measured between lift pump and main filter) is an often...

Grinding when you unload the drivetrain sounds like some form of excessive backlash. So could be hub gears, or differential gears…

Here is how you fix the most common issue with the primer/primary filter that causes it to not lift fuel.

1. hand over hand the wiring looking for damaged cable or disconnected connectors(in and under left and right dash, behind grill around engine and alongside both sides of the transmission. 2. Follow all the battery cables and positively identify the ground, 12v and 24v cables. Does this...

Because of the natural and suspension cab movements, I am planning pass-thru doors on cab and Hab, but no tunnel. This will also allow me to more easily access the cab latch if necessary...

Oh hell, this is how it begins… All giddy optimism untill it arrives in your driveway then the reality of “OMG, What Have I Done” sets in… You do have a therapist on retainer right? Don’t turn to Alcohol, that path leads to the dark side…:)

Besides being shorter and simpler, The good thing about rail on rail with captured spring is that is spends 99.99% of its life with both rails in full contact with each other and 100 percent of the habitat weight distributed across the entire length of both chassis frame rails. I am forecasting...

From what I have measured with my chassis, i would have to compress the rubber axle bump stops ~1.5" before the tire rubber will pass above the top of the upper frame rail...

I think even without the upper frame, main frame twist is not going to be too bad. In the end frame twist is a factor of the weight applied, a habitat weight is probably going to be less than what the truck was built(over built) for. And even if it does twist, so what, that is why we use the...

it may also have been a commonality thing. They made the M1078 pickup, M1079 box truck, and the M1080 cab and chassis, with the M1080 being easily adapted to create a special purpose vehicle(rocket launcher, gun or AA missle vehicle) with the built in load distributing upper frame. These...

I think the methodology of attaching at the rear of the frame is that the frame then acts like a spring allowing the whole box more overall movement instead of imparting more torsion thru the box or tank when heavily loaded. but I see that as having drawbacks as well, as it stores energy...

I see no reason not to attach at the other end(front) and float the rear. either way is basically a 3 point attachment, with the front two points at each forward subframe end and the 3rd point shifts from rail to rail depending upon which direction the frame twists as one rail will push up on...

Is it coming out of the manifold port? either a crack, or perhap a valve guide seal?
