    3126 w/ABS vs 3116

    I will add that my 3116 got a pretty steady 7mpg even pulling the trailer. My C7 chugs in at just under 5mpg. *no highway gears and I've never worked to tune things up yet

    3126 w/ABS vs 3116

    You can find CAT ET readers with the proper software. Shop wisely, the prices are all over the board though.

    3126 w/ABS vs 3116

    Having owned both an 1998 A0 w/3116 and a 2008 A1R with the higher hp C7 (both of which pulled a M1082 trailer up and down Padre and Mustang) I would be leaning heavily in favor of the 3126. While most of the Texas coast is flat, obstacles as minimal as the causeway bridges will bring you to a...

    Mav’s M1088A1 Conversion

    My neighbors had a chicken that loved to roost in the brush stored in my M1082 trailer. I took it he trailer out to the Island where a buddy was having a big beach party and left it next to his camper for a three-day weekend. So the three days later I'm going to fetch it and one of my surf...

    Interior/Exterior Temp Gauge in Rocker Switch Profiile

    The rocker cutouts in the LMTV dash are "Series-L" 1.734” x . 867” [44.0mm x 22.0mm] The more common automotive rocker is a "Series-V" .83" x 1.45" [21.08mm x 36.83mm] So you want an adaptor for a Series-V switch to fit into a Series-L cutout. It seems that like those crazy military...

    Air conditioning for a m1083

    IMO, you absolutely want the 24v (honestly, if you're in the planning stages, 48v for AC is even better performance-wise I suspect but not in the cards for most builds).

    Air conditioning for a m1083

    I had my doubts, as well. One of the guys on the FB group documented his install and ran one in the cab all summer. Said after seeing days in the 100's he was pleased. He swears up and down it more than fits his cooling needs in the cab (he did insulate the cab well). He was...
