    From fire truck to MTV

    I have, I really hate subscriptions and since we already have a phone plan I'd like to make that work if possible. It's a secondary plan if this doesn't work for us.

    From fire truck to MTV

    Being that a metal box isn't the best for cell signals, working on installing a booster. So far tests have been very promising. This will allow us more freedom as we sometimes need internet for work. Before: After:

    F no. I know some like the pushbutton, but not this guy.

    Did this a few weeks ago, but always disliked the pushbutton light controller. The manual one is so much easier to use. After a few weeks of use I definitely won't be going back!

    I could, it's just a standard radio, the DTMF tones are already built into the radio so it makes it quick and easy to get up and running. In theory I could have an Alexa device or something similar in the habitat, and command it over the radio as well.

    Sending DTMF tones with radio keypad. The receiving radio has its speaker input fed into a tone decoder, that spits out a 4 bit code for the Arduino to read. For transmission from the truck, Arduino is connected to microphone input and a tone can be generated. The radio has vox enabled to...

    Not a bad view from our most recent trip! Have figured out how to remotely interface with the Arduino controller using common radios. This way I can control anything remotely the microcontroller has control over -which is nearly everything. Only have non-harmfull options available to control...

    Finally got the last bucket of ATF, I think this was the 3rd try from amazon....I feel bad from all the deliveries that failed due to damage. I imagine huge spills of ATF all over the floor of vans. My method was to disconnect the return line from the cooler, this proved a little difficult as my...

    M1078 A1 transfer case

    I'd be happy to, I didn't keep the receipt unfortunately so I'm not sure if it was the same p/n. It was the composite bearing though. I was surprised by the thickness change and it threw me for a bit of a loop during install. I'd try some other dealers, it is possible they changed the price...

    M1078 A1 transfer case

    I wouldn't ever consider trying to make your own, because if it fails, there goes ten thousand bucks. 3d printing also has terrible tolerance and strength compared to non printed parts.

    M1078 A1 transfer case

    What?? I bought mine from my local Allison dealer for something like $150, less than a year ago.

    M1078A1 "Pandora" Build | 2024-??? | ***Picture Heavy***

    Pretty much useless without the software to interface with it, which so far seems to be unobtainable for this generation of kit

    Finally got the truck weighed fully outfitted how we take it on trips (all food, water, etc), just missing the mountain bikes. 30440 lbs with me in it (190lbs)

    M1078A1 "Pandora" Build | 2024-??? | ***Picture Heavy***

    Can I reserve one of those? I'm running the 100amp and being kind to it but who knows... I thought there was a top bracket or something for the 260+ alts?

    Caterpillar 3126B oil cooler problems

    My bill was $165 but I added in new nuts, drain hose, etc. the "kit" was about $65....if it has everything I need.

    Another trip out, truck did awesome but now hearing a whistle when CTIS is checking pressure (during the pressurizing step) this happens when moving and stopped. Will have to investigate. All tires within 1psi and no error lights. Had a bit of a steep decline and had to be a little careful...

    HEUI Troubleshooting - Injection Pressure Desired and Actual Mismatch

    Tried the SIS 2.0 on the website, pretty lacking in some details, but actually seemed to use my trucks serial number instead of saying "can't find" like the main parts search. (this is for a C7). However, there are two options shown with different quantities.

    FMTV Torque Rods

    They are greased but without the seals the grease will fall out and crap will get in. They should be fixed.

    Transmission Filter Inspection Finding

    That may not be wear, could just be chamfering of the gear teeth (although look a bit rough).
