ok.. so it is an MD3070. that is the original trans to the 3116... it mayyyy have got internal wire harness updated..... may not. See https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/md3070-vs-3700sp-allison-7speed-tranny-in-these-trucks.154061/
not real familiar with the M1078 A1R or A1Rp2 to know if...
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.
nope.... the schematics are inside software now... and software for that not released by govt.. Closet you will get is what his Guard mechanic can get for you thru their software or the older version for A1 (maybe better said A0.5) that can be found in TM section of S.Soliders. it is a...
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...
Was watching video recent of an LMTV off roading lifting a tire..... boy did that bring back memories... annnnyway.... if for some odd reason you reallllllly want to keep a wheel on the ground more cause you are going to reallllllly wheel your LMTV...... here is old school leaf spring design to...
If I remember it right.. and I honestly don't remember where I saw a report that Eco on a truck already with the 3.07 gears ... may not mix well on paper (ratio wise). and that may be true.... wonder though if that combo would let you go DOWN a tire size to one that is commercially, easily...
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
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 ...
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...
@InvictusDecretum Post 15. from Thurs... all the your pics are dead. If you uploaded them to here... hmmm??? not sure what is up.. If you linked to them.... works way better to just upload them to here then post them somewhere else then link em.
nahhhh. tweeker will give up before they can get thru these tanks. Now a regular car or truck with thin sheet metal fuel tanks...... that's different. no drill need. Strong nail and hammer is all you need.
Yup... prevented my LMTV from burning to the ground from smell of wires burning.. started chasing all around it (after removing power from batts)... but magic smoke was still being released... Tilted cab lickedy split and found the smell was coating on windings in my Neihoff.... AND it was on...
Well have heard of "seat of the pants" (feel) driving... the "nose knows" method ... that one is new to me LOL :driver:
(not really.... am exactly the same myself too)
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...
