    Dewey Battery Charging Aux Power Unit - Generator Head Swap

    I did the head swap from 24v charger to 120/240v Northstar generator. I'm not in SCal though.

    3116, 3126, c7 Ac compressor?

    Well that clarifies it then, I appreciate it. Looking at the image from the front I see now why I thought my old truck only had the one.

    3116, 3126, c7 Ac compressor?

    Interesting. So the C7 compressor mount is the one in the first pic I posted above?

    3116, 3126, c7 Ac compressor?

    This is what the bracket on my 3116 looked like: And this is what I *suspect* is the "second" bracket: How, if, or which goes on the C7 I can't say...

    3116, 3126, c7 Ac compressor?

    I was told that they use the same bracket, but having owned a '98 w/3116 that had AC (driver-side mounting bracket) and now own a '08 w/C7 I do not see how the bracket from my old truck would work. I was even going to pull it to fab a replica. I seem to recall Scott Dewitt who sellsthe...

    Our CTIS system are not really compatible with 3.07 gears

    Not sure if it's the same, but I saw this one the other day. Says it's the 2019 version Linky

    Our CTIS system are not really compatible with 3.07 gears

    This is one of the easiest mods to do and saves a TON of wear on your tires.

    Crew Cab LMTV

    The idea has been kicked around. As you said the cab lift system, the air-ride system, the cab leveling system, and the cab latching system all need to be addressed. I'm not aware of anyone that actually done it though. Like a lot of major mods, you'll have to re-engineer a good deal...

    LMTV picture w/odd wheels

    No mud issues with mine so far. They are hard to find these days (or not worth the price asked for the few out there). I debated making some replicas out of fiberglass, but decided against it since they would just be cosmetic. I did share my solution for standoffs with a FB user who was...

    What are you doing to protect your truck from the Coronavirus ?

    I'm trying to hook up a speaker system to play the purge siren. I will sit out side the grocery stores and kick it on just before the doors open. (then I'll sneak to the front of the line while everyone is looking around)

    A1R C7 OBD Port Power?

    Noted I'm going to try one that I found for heavy trucks and RVs that uses Bluetooth, next. My goal is to send the telemetry to a screen for monitoring on the fly (MPG, RPM, temp sensors, etc). I'll do all my own custom UI and displays.

    A1R C7 OBD Port Power?

    One other thing I should add is that the port is of course 24v. So a standard automobile OBD2 reader will not work, but there are readers out there that will (for trucks, RVs, etc).

    A1R C7 OBD Port Power?

    OK, for future reference the center pin (A) is ground. POS (B) is the 12v source....

    A1R C7 OBD Port Power?

    So according to the schematics that I can find online, the Y-j1939 pins out with the center pin as 12v PWR. According to my reader and multimeter I have no power. I find nothing in the power panel that indicates it is related. All breakers are good and hot. If there a separate fuse...

    The price of a/c

    Might be a tad small for the LMVT cab, but not sure. I'm thinking more along the lines of 33000 BTU cooling, but that number was tossed out by someone a couple years ago. I've no idea what the Red Dot Gen2 units produced for these cabs had in the way of BTUs (the Gen1's were somewhat...

    CTIS works somewhat for the 1st time

    I've found even working CTIS controllers can be temperamental. As a rule I step down from Highway > XC, then XC > Sand, etc. Same with airing back up (ie: Sand > XC then Highway). ymmv

    Air up to shorten start up time?

    Do you drain the air tanks each night? Because if not, the tanks should be full every morning unless there are leaks.

    Air Brake issues M1079

    ^This is what I've always read. Don't cap the front or it can't vent (and thus lock up the brakes). There is a way to do it, but it involves dome tinkering and re-routing.
