I've got some silicon bronze that I could throw on the lathe, but maybe too hard for this application?

I have no idea, but I doubt it makes much difference since you have to make the arm on the single ear to fit anyhow and also modify the original bracket to fit. Been 2 years now and no issues. I even added a 24v electric a/c compressor and a d/c to d/c charger that charges my house batteries...

On an offroading trip last week I payed closer attention. In mode it will hold exhaust brake down to about 5mph. When not in mode, it's about 10mph. Would like to get it set at 5mph when out of mode too.

This would also be worth looking into, thanks!

Yes, manually selecting gears is a bit cumbersome. Not sure if we could get 2 profiles as we already use the mode button to control 4x4 mode. But if we can add a separate switch to control it that would be awesome.

Thanks, when are you going? I'm going on a overland trip next Tues. Wish I could do this before I go. Just looking through the manual, there is a lot they can do with the programing, including the exhaust brake rpms and shift points and they can make it upshift sooner and stay in gear...

Thanks I'm currently looking at the Alison manual and they have all kinds of different shift point modes that can be programed. Performance or economy, with various degrees and you can even have both with a switch to select between 2 modes. Various engine braking modes too, with the WTEC III. So...

None

after watching your video, I remember doing the test and it was fine. I think I might have Alison do some custom programing for me.

Yes, in mode. I was doing some real offroading and I'm glad I installed the rear locker too!

Thanks Ron, you always have the answers! I'll check it out 👍

Even 5 would be better. Offroad it's just not that useful with the ecohubs changing the gear ratio by half.

Wow, yes please that would be awesome! I'm in Walnut Creek, so easy drive to Hayward for me. With the ecohubs, I would love for the exhaust brake down to 0 mph. It currently cuts out around 10

Yeah, a couple of times. Didn't really change anything. The system also does it automatically over time, but I spent 5 days offroad and it sure didn't autotune😅 The gear ratio between 2nd and 3rd is just too wide and there is no fixing that, but if I could get it to go into 3rd at a lower rpm...

When you say you built a long range air bag system, do you mean you replaced the entire suspension with air bags? I know some of the big rigs ride on huge airbags that are like 24" wide to suport the weight. I'm just talking about removing one leaf or even half of one or just shortening it and...
