    Nope

    if it can complete the Dakar..... then its not stupid for sure. Think this did the Dakar two or three times. If recall right they did this cause it was easiest way to do a twin engine setup.

    ECO Hubs Off Road on our M1078A1

    for beast this large... think you need to front heavy compared to rear....... so not 50/50 front to rear... maybe 60/40, or 55/45 that way when climbing the weight shifts from those to 50/50 due to gravity rear loading. Would think starting at 50/50 and then on up climbs moving it to 40/60...

    Axle (s) rebuild thread, gears and lockers

    huh??? confused.... what is wrong with asphalt? Yes on the jackstands not on asphalt; unless you have a wider base to sit below the stand to prevent sink. I had friend weld used brake disk rotors to bottom of my stands cause I usually am in dirt..... asphalt would be heaven for me

    1078 Alternator question

    two 12v better IMHO, if your not throwing a converter in there. If wanting to get home as is, two 12v smart chargers, may be your best bet sense one batt gets more 12v draw than the other, having the two smart ones to get you home then seems would with out needing converter. @Ronmar ...

    1078 Alternator question

    there is no commercial alt. that will fit the alt bracket on these trucks. You have to re-configure yours or have one fabbed for you. Not something you can do on the road. Once home you can machine out bracket you have to install a commercial and convertor on it. BTW- if your on the road...

    ECO Hubs Who needs 3:07 gears?

    Agree- though suspect he was just reporting experience with how it aided driving with his Eco Hub swap- not really expecting it to get much responses... but it did. Is what it is. MODERATOR/ADMIN. can you do your magic and split out various post on this braking topic, and Oil Pump Topic to...
