I put one of the aluminum autozone radiators in my pickup truck. It failed after about 2 years and 20k miles. Sample size of one. Not directly applicable to the cucv, but still relevant.

@sue had one on his hmmwv if I remember correctly. It is worth looking at. Perhaps he'll post a pic....

I was presuming that you had some use for the 806B other than just the RV. For example, my generator also runs my welder and plasma cutter, not just my RV. Just out of curiosity, do you use a 20lb sledgehammer 🔨 to swat flies 🪰 ? :)

This is completely consistent with my opinion/experience/research on the topic. For diesel engines, conventional oil changed frequently is the way to go. I use Rotella in all my diesels, and change it yearly or 5k miles whichever comes first.

Not unless you need the extra functionality. I power my RV with a female 5pin plug I wired in place of the ECU. (Mine is a drash type applied companies model, but the principle is the same.)

The limiting factor is gearing . With the 3 speed you can run it a little over 60mph, but it isn't happy and won't live long. 53-55mph is the sweet spot. Adding a turbo won't help this. Power isn't the choke point. If a higher top speed is desired, a transmission swap is in order, and isn't...

I'm not. I sold the gooseneck trailer and no longer have the capability to move vehicles that aren't drivable. I appreciate you thinking about me though.

You can do it right, or you can do it multiple times, or you can wish you did it differently. Having done it multiple times, I have come to the conclusion that 395's on aluminum MRAP rims are the answer.

Diesel - far less flammable and less dangerous to have around. Much longer shelf life (although far less than it used to be). To each their own.

I'm not sure I'll still be in TX then, but if so I can bring slave plugs, slave cables, 24v chargers, and ammo cans.

LMTV rims are a direct bolt on. They're very similar to 5ton combat rims.

A futile gesture. 10 calls will get you 10 mutually exclusive answers, none of which will bear any resemblance to what actually happens when you show up to register....

Yeah. No intervention required. Just connect the air to the trailer.

I recommend that you don't do anything with zeros. If DMV wants to, then let them do it. I have had a bad experience where DMV added zeros and insurance did not. This resulted in a mismatch between DMV and insurance and DMV revoked my plates. The first I found out about it was when they...

Wheel bearings. Make sure engine isn't hydrolocked.

I have no experience specific to FL. I do have experience in a dozen other states. I find that across the board, it is best not to volunteer information when dealing with DMV. Hand them your documents, answer any questions. The scenario least likely to cause "no" is that you hand them a...

Judging from what the last sort-of-similar truck brought..... Far more than I'd consider. By like a factor of 5.

DMV anticipates a 17digit VIN. These typically have a 6digit serial number. Sometimes that gives the DMV workers fits.
