    How long can I go after Alternator stops working w/four 12v batts? and diagnising/fixing 200amp hummer alt on LMTV

    Did you mention headlight type? LED will draw far less power.

    ECO Hubs Who needs 3:07 gears?

    Could you please explain the usage of these? I'm having trouble imagining how these would function. Seems they would just slip off the pins and then allow the nut to rotate. I'm guessing there is something I'm missing. Seems they would require use of the previous split collar locks?

    What commercial steel wheel will bolt up to a lm/fmtv hub ?

    Yeah, but 30% of 0 is still 0, so no power to rear Same reason we will spin one tire in slippery conditions

    Replacement Part m1078 etc.

    Perhaps knurling in the od? Agree with not wanting the logo (S&S) would be okay I think.

    The things I learned while rebuilding my CTIS

    Did you fully rebuild the wheel valves?

    CTIS pressure settings increase - no programming, transducer, or module required.

    Haven't checked pressure, been working on more critical things (system still works, just have to push the specific button a couple times - it errors out after 30s of deflate time). The relief valve has a spring and there is a little winged nut thread locked in place. A little heat allows the...

    CTIS pressure settings increase - no programming, transducer, or module required.

    It was at 5.5 and I was getting the error, I increased it to 7-8 and the error went away for a while. This is in the dana diagnostic software. Also verified the pressure sensor is reading correctly with a mechanical gauge. It got colder and the issue popped up again...guessing oil in the filters.

    CTIS pressure settings increase - no programming, transducer, or module required.

    20 psi (or anything a couple psi off expected) will cause the controller to error out after 30 seconds of dumping and show to solid lights between the target and higher pressure selections.

    CTIS pressure settings increase - no programming, transducer, or module required.

    I fully rebuilt the wheel valves except for those filters everything else has been replaced. Fully rebuilt the PCU as well. I adjusted the relief valve to get the proper feedback within the Dana software as you can view relief valve pressure. I haven't looked too much but if I see a new...

    CTIS pressure settings increase - no programming, transducer, or module required.

    I adjusted the pcu relief valve pressure, worked great for a while. Guessing I have too much contamination of wheel valve filters as it had more issues when temp dropped. Per spec it has a 1 or 2 psi tolerance...seems a bit sensitive. I have new filters coming and the system still works fine as...

    CTIS pressure settings increase - no programming, transducer, or module required.

    System is working pretty well after rebuilding all wheel valves and associated seals(and a few CTIS hub seals). Still not super happy on deflate - sometimes requires a few pushes of the button due to a relief valve feedback error. Very finiky system that doesn't have well defined specifications...

    From fire truck to MTV

    Kids really wanted to sleep in the MTV so threw some sleeping bags in there and tied the frame up to the wall. Not really very comfy and those sleeping bags are very noisy but hey it was an adventure for them. Brought the cat in there too.

    Rubber spring bolt camper Mount design.

    So you have a bolt to limit overtravel in the front? Personally I avoided rubber in this application because it breaks down very quickly under high deflection. It does have the advantage of nonlinear spring rate but if you exceed it, it is destroyed(your overtravel bolt can prevent that)...

    Did a little work today, Menards had some garage racks that are the standard size for a lot of camping pads - 24 wide 75 long (ish). Strong, fairly light, cheap ($360 for pretty much what you see here). I can tie them into the unistrut easily and makes them modular if I want put them in another...

    stuck spare.

    I tried a few methods to unscrew (hammer in torx bit, various extractors), no joy with any. 2 minutes with a drill and backflusing to clean out chips and it's been working great. I don't plan on putting my head under the lowering tire so the safety valves are somewhat useless. I don't have...

    stuck spare.

    I had lots of issues with spare locking. I just drilled out the port and removed the safeties. The steel is very soft and I think it was a 3/8 bit.

    Considering it, but found some garage shelves that would work well as rigid bunks...hmm

    From fire truck to MTV

    Had a few free minutes today so was mocking up bed locations(location only, it will be much more slick than this). Need to sleep 4 so planning on foldable bunks with cot sized mattresses is the current plan. Having the framing in already is great for this as I don't need to build so much bed...

    I'll be using heat pump or diesel heat depending. Our house uses a heat pump and the frosting on the window bottoms only happens when we hit about -10F. Such a small area is likely to have a little more humidity though. The pass through is probably the most likely to frost up right now although...

    Put in dricore underlayment (foam bonded to OSB to give me some extra insulation, moisture management, sound deadening). Then layed down some sheet vinyl. Ended up going with sheet over planks or anything else just due to the low maintenance nature. I have dirty kids, things are going to get...
