No, I’ve only used it once or twice. Mostly because I hand wash the windshield every morning before we drive when it’s buggy out.

Well I hate to admit it but I'm calling defeat after spending a few more hours trying to figure out where the water is coming from! This morning I researched what the back of the gen 2 AC looks like and I found that the area behind the CTIS all the way forward, the part you can't see is actually...

Electric actuators are longer than hydraulic actuators for the same stroke length. So fitting a longer actuator in the same space would be the first hurdle the second would be strength.

It just rained 2.5" in less than 30 minutes and still dry.......Still dry!

Thank Ron I’ll get the Walmart brand! 😂 I tried that first with the hose spray nozzle spraying each area that I could possibly enter the vehicle. I didn’t as far as pressure washer but I’m not driving into the wind through a hurricane. But maybe I should go there next.

Working on a 2003 M1079A1 with gen 2 AC. The drivers side floor where your feet are is always damp between the spray in bed liner and the fitted floor mat, same as original just black. Some times it's more wet than other times, but never consistent with rain. Today I decided to find the problem...

They are a blast traveling in them. The views from the cab are high and panoramic.

Gotta air down before you go out on the sand!

Probably not enough thread engagement for helicoil. Find a different drain plug with larger thread diameter and tap to match it. But insuring you get all the chips out is going to be the most difficult part.

Neither, just age and moisture caused the bottom hinge to seize up.

That’s what I thought so I wasn’t sure what the delete was recommended for in the directions.

Thanks Rick, years ago my ECM died and I purchased a new ECM from cat and they programmed it to 330, activated cruise, set cruise setting to the lowest mph possible and saved the data for future needs. I’m may send it to you just for back up reasons. What’s the charge?

So if I have caterpillar program it they need 31,309 to enter into the ECM? I thought it was a percentage that they needed.

After the EcoHubs and the original 3.90 gears are installed. when I take it to caterpillar service to have them reprogram the eco speedometer doe anyone know the ratio? I think it was a ratio that was needed, its been 6 or 7 years ago that I had them change it for the 3.07 gears. Or is that...

Hope this helps the next person.

Problem solved. I removed the top which requires a lot more labor because you have to pull the entire door off. All to discover it wasn’t the top hinge causing the problem. Proceeded to remove the bottom hinge. Put it in the work bench vise and now you’re able to get full range of motion, like...

Interesting, love math. So based on that I’ll probably leave it alone.

This didn't get much traction, but i'm back home and removed the door limiter on the bottom of the door and the door was still very stiff. So I've have been spraying penetrating oil on the hinges for a few days and working the door open and closed 50 times after each application. Tonight the...

Thanks, That would be a good idea. I did that eight years ago using some of the original cables, without doing any research. My truck was missing all the batteries and the cover, so I improvised and made a new shelf for the batteries and made an aluminum cover. No more fiberglass slivers. When I...

Thanks and they are meant for heavy duty truck use.
