All,
I just found this site for cab soundproofing. I am working on my. An right now, and found this site. They have a pretty good selection. I thought I would share.

I plan to get some floor mat material for the sides and see how it...
Is it normal to have a gap at the bottom of the door? I put a straight edge and the door is curved. Both doors have the same curve.
The doors are adjusted really nice. The close and latch solidly, so I am hesitant to change anything.

I need to remove my ether bottle.
My truck is from Hawaii, so my guess is it is completely full.
I tried to turn it by hand (I am assuming it is like a propane bottle), but it would not budge.
I am a little worried about what will happen if I put my large channel locks on it. I am...
I did a search and only found this link:

I thought I would start a new thread only on body caulking products.
I plan to weld some sheet steel panels together and need to caulk between the welds.

Anyone have an aftermarket battery disconnect that can disconnect both 12v and 24v at the same time? I have been doing a lot of work where I keep unscrewing the batteries and am interested in an easy solution. I could just buy two disconnects, but would rather have one.
Anyone ever see one...
My driver side had one loose in the cab wall behind the rear wall panel. The passenger side was missing.
They appear to mount in the wall of the door opening (covered when the door is closed). On the missing side, I would just have an opening, which probably needs to be covered so water does...
I am interested in stocking some standard wire sizes for working on my truck.
Right now, I need to extend some rear end harnesses. Are there set standard gauge wires that should cover most of my day to day projects within my truck 1999 m1083A1 with 3126 serpentine engine? I do know roughly how...
So, I pulled the spare tire down and noticed a hose just hanging out there. I traced it back to the diesel tank. Guessing it is the vent.
Where should the free I go?
Is there a breather plug or filter supposed to be in the hose end?
Should it be tied up somewhere?
It literally was bent...
So, I have a set of Pewag snow chains.
They say in the cam lock “MRAP” and when I got them, they were for the 395/85-r20 tires and the paper work said 395/85-r20.
If you look at the Pewag part number, it says they fit on 14.00r20’s but not the 395/85-r20’s.
Does anyone know if they will...
Looking to reduce the overall height of the transmission cooler in support a camper conversion. The fan motor sticks up pretty high. If I unbolted the the unit from the cross brackets and flipped it over, is there any issue? I would gain some space to blow the air..... otherwise the fan will be...
When I remove the tire carrier, do I need to plug the hose ends. Or, can I just bag them as long I do not turn the tire carrier valve? In a few months, plan to reinstall the tire carrier somewhere else on the truck with longer hoses and add a second one (off the suspension compression valve). In...
I am digging into an M1083.... not to be a show truck.
I found some rust holes. I wire brushed it and kept going. I then poked (not very hard) with a screw driver and it popped through.
this is passenger side rear under where the m16 mounts used to be.
I bought Ospho to convert it, but...
My 1083A1 has the fan disconnected.
Just need to verify the direction the air is blown. I am assuming top-down.
Can someone please just confirm?
Thanks!

I have a 1999 M1083A1 with a serpentine belt 3126.
I have the factory AC compressor bracket copies from Berend.
I bought the CAT adapter Pulley number 298-1308
when I flipped the pulley over, I saw a big boss on the back that did not look like what I saw on an install video. Maybe my...
Cleaning out the cab..... pulled the drains out because they were packed with dry mud.
Found this is one of them. It domed on both ends and looked special.
Is it supposed to be there?
I need to extend a few wires. Has anyone ever used solder seal wire splices? What do you recommend. I don’t need to ever disconnect anything, just cut a harness and make it longer.

What do you use to cover the cage bolt holes with? Where did you get them?
Tried google, but they did not match what I thought they looked like.
