    Electric AC?

    The issues are properly insulating the cab, using materials to raise the albedo, creating shade above the cab, properly powering the HVAC system whether mechanically or electrically. Looking at the products marketed to the RV market the small footprint typical DC/AC converters we see, even from...

    What have you done to your FMTV or LMTV today

    That appears to be within the specification for a CAT 3126b. Minimum spec for 700rpm appears to be about 11psi. 16psi is 50% over minimum, 20psi is 90%. I am more interested in what pressure we have at 1,600rpm, 30psi would make me very nervous at 1,600. Yours appears to be about 45psi near...

    3116 vs 3126 with exhaust brake

    I think the last time I saw a M1078A1R for sale was last October, @fuzzytoaster had one. How plentiful are M1083A1R's on the civilian market?

    We confirm that with both R12 and R13 blown (J1939 down), an M1078A1 with WTECIII the Allison operates normally. We haven't seen the J1708/J1587 side down.

    2008 LTMV goes into over charge dash shuts off

    I certainly didn't mean to make you feel bad, My mistake, please forgive me.

    Well I planned to go to a friend's shop, but have a brass drift. Always good to see a friend though. Here is this morning's work. Putting the left rear back together. Did something really dumb: flipped the wheel hub over while holding a new CTIS seal in my hand. Crushed it. There goes $50...

    What have you done to your FMTV or LMTV today

    I am still wondering how long it was like that. We have at least 4,000 miles since purchased. More since we did EcoHubs early and just recently received the reflashed ECM from you. Thank you. I like those rolls too, will have to check the grit of what I have on hand. Another point of...
