    M1070 recovery

    I removed them, but you are forgetting tail lights for the towed vehicle are 24v. I think it is the regulator but it could be a compound of issues.

    M1070 recovery

    Ok good news, wasn't engine brake, just sounded like it. Exhaust came off the first muffler right under the door. It's to hot, and I have to get this 939 to the port, plus it gives it a nice throaty sound. Bought a walmart battery and stuck in it, fired up My wife is going to meet me at...

    M1070 recovery

    Oh the day started with such promise. No issues yesterday. Pull in to rest area to bed down and wouldn't you know it I wake up to a 24v gauge pegged to the left below red. I thought to myself a few explicit words and decided to make it to a napa and finish out the trip. About a few miles...

    should i buy a 2.5 or 5 ton truck?

    If you are going to spend the money to upgrade brakes, and engine, and transmission just get 900 series with the 8.3 and auto and be done with it.

    should i buy a 2.5 or 5 ton truck?

    Good advice, I've been driving 45 in this 1070 on I-10 from El Paso to Florida. I don't pull over for anybody to pass, occasionally for a semi but not for a car, they can pass on there own. Pulling off on the shoulder in a big truck can turn south quick.

    6 wheel steer?

    I suggest not to add it unless your vehicle is as long as a HET or PLS. Even in the HET rear steer is a PITA when bobtail. It gets squirrelly with slight movements of the steering wheel doing 45. Unless your rock crawling your deuce, I wouldn't recommend it.

    M1070A1 & M1000 Walkaround

    You couldn't do anything on the engine without pulling he cab. Extending the nose and exposing the engine more make it better for servicing. Adding oil on these is a pita. You need a flex funnel that has at least a 2' length or you are going to be spilling oil everywhere.

    M1070A1 & M1000 Walkaround

    From my "sources", lol, there is an upgrade coming out. Not like we will ever see the m1000 in gl, that's asking for trouble.

    How to remove tire from MRAP wheels

    I was going to suggest cutting it out but Murphy likes to rear it's ugly head at the worst times.

    How to remove tire from MRAP wheels

    It will be in the tire. It is a pita to get in and out. We use grease sometimes to get them in.

    How to remove tire from MRAP wheels

    Remove ctis hose from tire so it lets all the air out. Safety is paramount, as people have died messing with bead lock rims. Once all air is out and you know it is out you can start removing all the nuts. The tire will come off fairly easily, getting the run flat out, well good luck on...

    Chat 6/10/14

    I know, I thought about that, the integration with the user list has to be a must so it would have to be an internal / compatible with the the forum software. Whatever it will be, it needs to be green, lol.

    I ran a jabber sever for several years during my deployments and it was on a minimal zentyal install. Setup was fairly simple, server address, username and password. But to each is own.

    Irc is nice, but xmpp (Jabber) is IMHO better. Who knows what they upgrade to.
