    Oshkosh Built FMTV Doors

    Anyone know if the doors on this Oshkosh built FMTV cab are retrofittable to an A1R? They are supposedly from a MAN cab and from what I have heard there are a variety of parts from man cabs that fit the Styr cab on our trucks. The cab appears to be the same Styr cab. Thanks

    Pacbrake Braided Stainless Air Line

    Anyone have a line on a supplier for the braided stainless air line to the actuator on the Pacbrake? I'm not aware of anyone locally to make one for me so, I'll be searching the web for a generic replacement, but hoping someone has already found the part. Thanks

    MMDC air sensors, replacement (?)

    Pretty sure I was reading a thread here on SS about a guy that had found a replacement for the air sensors that go bad in the MMDC's and was replacing them. I seem to remember that he thought they went bad from moisture and had installed some small inline air driers in the air lines that feed...

    C7 Starter Solenoid Napa Part#

    Not in the parts spread sheet and a search didn’t return any useful results, so curious if anyone has a Napa part # for the starter solenoid? My truck has a C7, not sure if the starter and solenoid are the same as 3116/3126 motors. Thanks

    Need Help With AC Dryer Wiring

    On my way home today, when it was actually pretty warm, my AC wasn't working. Did some snooping around and found this when I got home: I noticed when the cab was up yesterday to install my trucklite turn signals that the cab was pinching and pulling on the wires to the dryer. I rerouted them so...

    A1R Bumper Options

    Curious if anyone else with an A1R has addressed the incredibly cheesy front bumper? For a truck with almost 20,000 curb weight, the bumper is ridiculous, and let's not even talk about the fiberglass skid plat that is the protection for my AC condenser and radiator. I've been told the A0 bumper...

    GL 4 Gear Oil Requirement

    Amazingly, not much comes up when you search for "gear oil" relative to what is required for the Meritor axles. My understanding is that GL4 gear oil is specified and I'm curious if that is because of GL4 being safe for yellow metals? Reading through a Meritor maintenance document, they...

    Winch Weirdness

    Did a search but didn't really find much. My truck is a 2008 M1078A1R with the factory winch. Truck is new to me and I am new to these trucks, so in the steep learning curve of a new S&S owner. The winch cable was loose on the drum and hanging down below the drum, so yesterday I thought I...

    Please forgive me if this has been asked before, but I didn't find much from searching the forums. I'm a nube to these trucks, got home last Sunday from driving my 2008 M1078 A1R from Maryland to California. I have a variety of things I need to address before continuing to drive the truck and am...

    New M1078A1R

    Hello All; First let me apologize for being yet another newbie asking a crap load of questions. I do, however, promise you I have the capacity to maintain and build the truck into the expedition vehicle I have planned and while it will take a while, I will be able to give back to the forum. I...
