What’s your fluid level in the front diff, and both front hubs? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just a little information, you were only utilizing 380+- hp during your trip in standard 0-2 ton on road CTIS settings. If you want to feel the additional power, turn CTIS off on the rocket switch, and while in 7th gear throttle down, touch the 15 ton mode on CTIS. You’ll hear the turbo spool...

Do you already have the parts handy? If not it may be cheaper to source a good running BC 350 or 400 and be ahead of the game Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have them too, i assume jack plates for soft ground tire changes Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Most common things on an 8.3 include fuel lines sucking air (but not dripping fuel), fuel primer pump o rings failed, fuel filter in fender well sucking air, fuel pickup tubes in tank cracked and sucking air Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

With all due respect, how do you know for sure you have runflats in your wheels? Almost all modern military tires use bead locks, but many do not have actual run flat inserts. Others may chime in with alternative methods, but the lazy way I found to confirm is put a jack under one side of the...

I can vouch for runflats. I blew a right front 14.00 at the georgia rally a few years back during the “Hardball convoy” and despite the slight pull to the right, I continued on the trip, and drove back to the rally after lunch and swapped it out with a spare. Had it been just a bead lock, I’d...

It appears that suspension is similar to the MTVR, if it’s an Oshkosh suspension with planetary hubs on the caiman that might assist in your search, I’m thinking CTIS wheel valves similar to an MTVR or Hemtt Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Wow that’s crazy! Glad you made progress, and no I’m not a Motor T guy, I’ve just got a little mechanical experience and some experience on my MTVR to help. I don’t know the compression test works on the TIM; but there are several tests that can be performed with Caterpillar ET software on a...

Wow! I’m jealous, 2 trucks sounds like double the fun. I’m knocking morning cloudiness out of my brain, Hop under the hood and check the little black box mounted high, about mid way on the firewall. It should be plugged up. As of right now, if that box is bad, I don’t have a repair solution...

It is officially called the TIM, IIRC. Check your breakers (resettable fuses) and any that fail to reset replace with a standard fuse and report back Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

These trucks run 20” wheels, same part number o rings as Hemtt wheels I normally order mine from ken spencer https://mvpartstore.com Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That’s slick! How do you plan on wiring it in? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That oil appears dark, I just changed mine on all 6 hubs again and before fixing an issue I ended up with burnt oil in 2 hubs and excess shavings. It looked like yours initially, gradually growing darker until burnt. Since you plan to log lots of miles on your truck, and fluid is real cheap in...

That’s really unfortunate Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just to be sure here, did your winch reach thermal overload? It doesn’t take much, very little run time, to get warm enough to shutdown to protect itself from burning up. And cool down takes a longggggg time. Check it now that it’s cool and report back. Also in their under water video, they...

Leverage is a key factor, that said My max pull will be 15k and Last week I pulled 6, added a few emergency panic stops with go pro watching it. Zero flex Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
