You can call Miles Fiberglass and ask them. You might get somewhere. If the military orders a fiberglass enclosure the kit will come with a parts list on paper. Finding that parts list outside of finding the paper included with the hard topper kit or getting it from the manufacturer is the only...

It's not the same. Top Feed third member LMTV shaft is 55.6" while the bad old design is 59.1". Top feed is exactly 3.5" shorter. Top Feed prop shaft: 2520-01-545-0448, 16NNS912D404

AFAIK he's still designing something. @ckouba and myself have discussed doing something similar with his truck and I have a couple of heater units to mock it up with. This will be an exercise in AC engineering, sheet metal construction, and finding many parts from OEM or aftermarket...

Pictures? It's a pretty simple board. I replaced a diode in one recently with good success. The diagrams actually even had the diode part numbers so was no guessing of size or specs. Restored the starter button operation so I could delete the previous owners bypass wiring running up the steering...

I will add that if you are frequently in a climate like I am here in OR, where you get sometimes weeks of non-stop rain and temps in the 40's and 50's, the rooftop and other such electrical units will not function significantly to dry the air like the factory AC would do for effective defrost...

Towing what? With which engine at what power? Just put the 3.90's back into an Acela M1088 overland rig tipping the scales at 32,000 lbs. The owner is ecstatic with the results. Better in every metric. This is a 370 HP, 930 Ft/lb C7 truck.

Yes. I have brackets for the 3126 and C7. They do not fit the 3116.

The "mechanic" put the wrong program on the ECM. These trucks use military specific ECM programming. Sounds like he doesn't have access to CAT SIS or doesn't understand that the ECM need to be programmed with the correct flash file per the engine serial number and then the military specific...

Sean has a video on his channel of repairing one - it's very simple. Just an o-ring or quad-ring or something from a generic assortment fixed it up.

I don't think you can get away from the physics of the vapor compression cycle. Motors are only so efficient even PWM DC motors. The engine driven compressor can suck down as much HP as it likes and the truck will not even blink. Even 5 HP is 3,728.14 Watts, or 133 amps at 28v. That's nothing...

Need pics of what you are talking about.

Just cut the rest of that off, clean it up good, use some deoxit, etc. Cut the wires a good bit down from the connector - like 4-6" so you can replace the failed rubber with 3M heat shrink w/sealant and install a Deutsch connector as an intermediate connector in case you do need to do the flying...

Yep. Use a BIG socket to pull out the locking pin and replace the seals. Reinstall, fill the system, and lift the cab.

1st is manual selection only. It's used to get heavy loads moving on a grade. With ECO hubs you won't hit 7th gear till about 75 mph. But it will stay in 7th down to about 68. All academic since none of the components care if you achieve the high score on the gear indicator. Engine RPM is all...

In his first post he said it's a 1996
