    Behr Paint Jobs- Show me your MV's

    I hear a lot of..... been X years and paint looks great with some touch ups.... Does that mean you guys are having to touch up from age or you ran into a tree and touched up the damage? My non MV car friends are scoffing at using house paint. How tough is it compared to oil based paints...

    SRW transplant

    So, I know I saw a thread on this. Is there a writeup? Looking to transplant an SRW from an m1083A0 to an m1083A1. I am thinking of divorcing the controls from the truck except for needing the high idle. Maybe just use the skinny pedal to hold RPMs? Any thoughts? Sent from my iPad using...

    Turned away from camp grounds??

    Hijack a little? Seams like this thread is ok for those posts as well. I prefer to hear about good and bad experiences here instead of you asking people that posted under my thread to move to a thread you created. No offense, but I am glad he posted that here. Please don’t police my thread...

    Air up to shorten start up time?

    I was thinking of plumbing in before the air dryer so I can benefit from the dryer. Thinking of maybe teeing in a check valve, a ball valve to make sure, and then a male air chuck fitting. I don’t want to do the glad hand thing because I don’t want to lose my parking brakes on accident. Plus...

    Air up to shorten start up time?

    Looking to use my shop compressor to pressurize my system so I can get out of my shop faster. The goal is not to skip any start up checks, but to get out the door before I fumigate the shop as much with exhaust. Then I can do my checks outside. Any advice on where to tap in? Thinking before...

    CTIS works somewhat for the 1st time

    I have heard that because the front has more weight on it, you see the pressure drop more and deflation is faster. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Are the seals usually reusable? I have heard horror stories about having to import the rubber seal at a high price. This is on an FMTV. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Window seal rust?

    Looking at solving this issue. Only have two pictures and truck is not near me, so this is a brainstorming session. The seal looks deformed, and rust is coming out from under it. Thinking of pealing the lip up and injecting por15 in there..... not familiar on what to do. I am hesitant to...

    Painting

    So, if only the cab needs paint, the rest only touch ups...... does it make sense to use CARC and spend the money? One gallon probably will be enough. Is CARC superior enough to be worth it? I may at some point paint the entire thing at a later date if I change colors, just trying to make...
