    Well that's good to hear my experience sounds about the same.

    Cold starting A1R

    I can see it pulling a lot of current when it turns on so pretty sure it's functioning as intended.

    Cold starting A1R

    My worry is the ECM programming is expecting ether or grid heater and I would imagine the engine start parameters are fairly different. Manual control is a fairly easy part of it.

    Cold starting A1R

    First winter with an A1R and also a diesel. Started it today in 10f and it was not very happy. Had to crank several times(was letting off same as I would in warm temps- when I hear it ignite). Then held starter for a few seconds after catching to keep it running since previous method didn't...

    From fire truck to MTV

    Successful thanksgiving, box is on the frame. Height is 12'7" at rear, 12'8" at front of box (driveway is not perfectly level) 7" to bump stop, 8.5" from tire to box. It was surprising how little the suspension moved when I put the weight on it. Cribbing and jacking was nerve racking as it was a...

    CTIS - Blowing oil

    I'm not super familiar with MTVR but I would check the axle vents. Mine were plugged on an FMTV and it caused the same ctis issue

    LMTV Abs troubleshooting

    Got a new LBCD because mine was crusty. New batteries as well. Showing .7 V drop across LBCD and voltage over 10v cranking. ABS still not functioning. All wheel sensors are reading properly, all modulator valves have good resistance to abs ECU. Not getting any error codes at all. ABS light is on...

    From fire truck to MTV

    Installed new hoses that move the cooler forward about 1.5 ft so the alignment rod won't hit it on full suspension compression.

    Just enough clearance to get the C6 clutch housing off to prophylactically replace the thrust bearing.

    From fire truck to MTV

    Here is what my brother found: "Those are standard radio tags. Typically used when rail shipping unit equipment. This truck most likely went to JRTC (Joint Readiness Testing Center) for pre-deployment training. While it's not 100% conclusive, the serial number didn't show up under the W90KNQ...

    From fire truck to MTV

    I knew it the government is tracking me! ;) Happened to find this little guy between the radiator and skid plate. Battery was still at 3.7V too. Bonus is it might give some info on who had the truck, have my brother (former army motorpool) looking into it.

    Removing torque rods and v-bar

    Thanks! That's what I feared, well I'll make sure I have the appropriate tools before trying to tackle this

    From fire truck to MTV

    Thinking through some different ideas for framing out the shipping container/box. I'm not very experienced with house building methods so I'm kind of just winging it. Figure you guys may have some different ideas. I already have 2" closed cell insulation in the container. I do live in WI and...

    Removing torque rods and v-bar

    Yeah I looked in the TM and laughed at that less than helpful advice.

    Removing torque rods and v-bar

    Anyone have any tips on removing these? Wondering if special press tool is needed, or if the taper is big enough they can just be tapped out fairly easily?

    Best way to remove the suspension squat sensor on the middle axle of M1088 (has braided wire loop on it)

    Some had the squat valve to load level with air bags. My truck has abs and does this.
