    So the MTVR adventure begins

    Cleaned up the TIM and ensured it was getting power but still not detected so it's fried. Will try to find someone with a working one. As I'm going through the truck, I'm really impressed with the engineering (well except for the location and weatherproofing of the TIM :). Glad I caught this...

    So the MTVR adventure begins

    No concern. Probably traveling at 55mph or so, and if I was concerned about mpg....I picked the wrong damn truck. I'm all about improving mpg where I can, and on my MTV I went with eco hubs to improve mpg and top speed (it was limited to high 50 or so). This one I want to retain the hub...

    Is this vehicle dependable? I need advise

    I think it might be a case of "my tank has a gvwr of 25,999 so I'm legal!" (Which I support)

    So the MTVR adventure begins

    Started looking into a few of the issues, found out the solenoid is shorted (#3 corresponds to the front diff) and its the topmost one in the manifold. I did a quick search and don't see many of these availible...it looks like a regular automation component so hopefully there is some cross...

    Is this vehicle dependable? I need advise

    CDL is required in many states over 26k, WI for example. Although mine is registered as an RV so don't need one.

    So the MTVR adventure begins

    Had sons birthday party today so didn't have much free time, but I did connect the computer. Saw a lot of codes due to weak batteries, after charging them up most cleared. So far I can talk with CTIS, ECM (copied my config), transmission. I need to see if I can find some software to talk to the...

    So the MTVR adventure begins

    This one, at least for now, I plan on building from scratch. I want cabover and expandable sides. You're correct a shipping container would be too high, it also has more headroom than needed (and I'm 6'4").

    So the MTVR adventure begins

    You should see my thoughts on a mme truck "ready for work or play". This thing is inanimate so it's feelings won't be hurt :) just areas for improvement! 😀 I'm slightly more gental correcting my kids....slightly.

    So the MTVR adventure begins

    Well tonight my govplanet truck arrived! Came from Georgia and arrived in WI today. Drop off went okay, since it is way colder here (17f) I was a little worried. I tried to install an ether bottle but there were these two hoses in the way and one shattered when trying to move it (what is that...

    LMTV Frame twist

    When I mounted my habitat (20ft long shipping container) I built the interface to be able to use springs or not. First I tried without springs and when twisting up on a ramp there was way too much stress and it started to bend the bottom of the container. I then install the springs and now they...

    Question about hub bolt?

    Probably won't find a torque spec for this particular as the manuals aren't available unless a Marine wants to chime in. It's likely a class 10.9 socket head cap screw, and if you can determine the thread diameter and pitch it's easy to find an approximate torque spec. Screws often have the...

    Question about hub bolt?

    Almost looks like they may have friction welded together a little bit.
