    M1078 Fire Truck with eco hubs

    Our experience, unloaded, is we always run out of traction before power. I don't recall a time power was even a consideration. Without lockers we must keep everything on the ground, old school off roading. With a bread basket locker I'd think EcoHubs are just what you need—

    Looking for M1078A1 ABS troubleshooting guide

    When you flip the power switch on the dash one of the protocols, like the inlet heater activating then going off (when it is warm), is the ABS computer checking all four (on an M1078/9) relays. You can hear them click: front, rear, front, rear. If the controller is dead or not powered, no clicks—

    Difficult to assess without knowing how much surface area the contact between frame and bed occupies and the material's ability to handle dynamic loads during travel. Though reducing thermal bridging is always a good idea, not silly at all—

    ECO Hubs Who needs 3:07 gears?

    Our Bluefire Instant Fuel Economy text gauge works, though Average Fuel Economy does not. I haven't figured out how to get useful Trip readings either. I haven't researched how as yet, though I would prefer to configure my own gauges, or at least be able to see what data they are actually...

    Top 5 fixes to your LMTV

    Grew up in Utah, I know what you mean. I have assumed we would need chains for snowy conditions. Too bad we can't repurpose our old rubber into studded snow tires—

    Top 5 fixes to your LMTV

    We have front and rear lockers in our Wrangler and have only used them while 'wheeling' with others. Hauling our offroad trailer to boondocking sites we are in 4wheel high and some times 4wheel low, though we have never needed the lockers on the way in or out pulling the trailer. When we have...

    Clunking in drivers dash, foot area or under the floor – M1078A1?

    An M9. Our son would like that souvenir. I'll suggest it to him. Thumping with a mallet I have not tried. Thank you. I think the pivots are good. Though other than rocking the cab about and watching how it raises and lowers I haven't inspected them—

    Clunking in drivers dash, foot area or under the floor – M1078A1?

    1— Shackles, front and rear, are in a recovery gear bag; 2— Replaced cab air bags with NOS months ago. We appreciate all suggestions. So far @Mullaney @GeneralDisorder and @Ronmar have the best suggestions and hardest to locate or silence—
