Well, I've also owned two trucks now w/o breaking my turn signal. ;p But yes, I absolutely could wire a junkyard switch to the dimmer, wiper controls, and turn signals (all there is to it). I could also take it a step further and hook up cruise control onto a proper stalk OR onto the wheel...

If mine ever fails, I'm yanking the entire steering column and retrofitting a nice one from a junkyard with "real" tilt and lots of controls on the wheel ! Not *that* I would pay $200 for. LOL

Meh Unless you are playing army with a 100% "must be OEM-only" truck, I say go to a junkyard or get one off Amazon. Only the government would pay $200 for a silly $40 switch. There is nothing magical about the one on our trucks. It's a stick with switches all mounted on a switch. It is...

Nice design. I don't see why you couldn't do a full-steel skeleton of the entire hab. Then have someone like Total Composites build you the skin. Since the panels would not be under "structural load", I would suspect that a much thinner panel could be used. Sikaflex those buggers on leave...

I got my M1079 from auction. Flew out and drove it home 1000 miles. Took as many tools as I could shove into the 50 lbs limit on a single bag. Temp tag and insured, first stop was NAPA and I ran thru my checklist. Had already had a spare belt and some hoses ordered and on will call at the...

Well, "cheap" being subjective here (they typically fetch twice what they went for before they all ended up in CA). Used to get them all day long under $500. Now it's rare to see one sell under $800. I had a ujoint failure during a recovery this week. That gen saved my ass. The 6kw...

Well, that is one great looking A1R !

When time and money allows, ditch all of those Michelin XML "may-pops". Because, there is no "may" about them. They "will" pop...

I was headed towards post yesterday afternoon (in an M1079) and saw a semi with flatbed and two trailers on top. Looked like someone have filled the entire load with goodies, too ! :)

My take is that if the state wants my tax dollars then they need to allow registration and operation of my vehicles. :)

Oops, read the post wrong, disregard.

It's true for much of the vehicle unless you are doing some sort of authentic period correct vehicle. From door handles to air conditioning systems, there are civilian alternatives.

Looks sharp. All I hear are good things about those little Chinese heaters.

Generator head is on. Now it's time to build the rack...

Another nice feature of this method is that if you ever sell the truck, you can simply sell the LLC to the new owner. It can all transfer that way and the only change is getting it insured by the buyer. Technically, it requires no re-registration (since the LLC owed/owns the truck all along)...

1) Find a state that allows RV title conversions 2) Start a LLC in that state (cost is typically under $100 total but some states do require a resident sponsor) 3) Register as an RV in the LLC's name (meet the required changes to be an RV, weigh, inspect) 4) Lease the vehicle to yourself for...

Here's the TM number as well as the .pdf file name the ETM is reading. As Geo said, there is just enough to wet your whistle but I'd not use it as a source for engine specifics:

May as well order the disc opposed to the USB unless you plan to burn your own. The files can be made to work w/o being on disc, but there's some IT hand-wavium involved...

And I did a search for the C7 as well and it does list later serial number block that had them up to the release of the manual. So I stand corrected there...

Yes, in the later .pdfs I see references to the ABS.
