So, you have an Allison license for the software? $1,100 plus $500 annually, (about)?

Do you think they will fit our beadlocks?

It isn't listed on the schematic for the TCU on an M1078A1 truck. I don't think we have the sensor. If we do, the WTECIII procedure is in this manual

On simpletire website under the specs tab. It notes they are designed for military vehicles. There is a 395/85R20 version at the Petlas website rated for 68 mph (110kmh)— I'd be interested in finding these—

56 maximum speed like the Michelin XZL and they are 10% heavier, over 230#—

Right. Continental Tires does not list any current 20" tires. I would be nice to find affordable new rubber—

The Continentals don't appear to be available for our 20" wheels: 22.5 or 24—

I just saw those the other day myself at SimpleTire. Wondering the same—

I don't think we have any suggestions. We used Dynamat Xtreme under the doghouse in the engine compartment, then added Dyna Core under that next to the engine. We have also added Dynamat Xtreme to the interior cab walls, ceiling, and door panels. Right now we can hold a conversation, though...

We have a NOMADIC 24v rooftop unit. It hasn't made it through the summer as yet. Our charging system includes a 24v 200a alternator with 2 - 31's in series for the truck and another 2 - 31's inseries for the accessories, including the AC; each 24v battery bank separated by a Victron Cyrix -...

Do you have a thread on your cab insulation efforts? Or would you share your plans for insulating the cab?

Tuesday's plan: item 4— CAT 3116 doesn't have glow plugs. She uses an inlet air heater—

As usual you are right—

If you zoom into the PPD the bottom lug looks like only one wire is connected? The one coming in from the left doesn't look connected to anything?

This may be related to the Allison comments of needing less gears. Their design encourages lockup as soon as possible to hold almost constant available torque through the gear changes. Keeping the engine in its power band as much as possible. You answered another of my questions about sitting...

I'll also note in the video @Ronmar shared the Allison boys commented that the medium sized engines didn't need the 7 speed. And I think all of us with EcoHubs have shown that is true—

We also have a 2003 M1078A1 (330hp tune) with EcoHubs We shift into 7th below 80 on our Bluetooth speedometer, below 75 on the dash speedometer. We like to sit in the 60-65 range (haven't added cruise control yet). At 62 in 7th we are at 1,200 rpm, 62 in 6th 1,500. She won't hold 7th at 60...

Their 14' departure angle with a 4 point torsion is what we are planning. Looking forward to seeing how yours comes together—

What habitat is about to be dropped on?

Thank you for sharing @Ronmar, this was very interesting. The two items I most appreciate are: 1— the torque equations versus gear ratios at final; 2— the explanation how they start with matching low gear ratios and work toward lowering rpm's in to the power band at nominal speed. 2— made me...
