    ECO Hubs Who needs 3:07 gears?

    No I haven't. I am in the beginning of my build, so have a few other items to buy for now. I am planning to do them over this winter. Unfortunately I won't have anything to compare them to as I haven't had the chance to take it to elevation since I purchased the truck. I'm going to take a...

    ECO DIRECT DRIVE HUBS

    I don't have a set yet, but I like to be prepared. I'm guessing really the only part that may have an issue would be the splined hub. It was by no means an indication that I thought parts would break, but if it can, it usually will happen to me. 😁

    ECO DIRECT DRIVE HUBS

    Ok, I have to ask, I would assume you will continue to make these available as long as there is a need/demand? I am very interested, but also in the beginning of building the habitat box. Would like to get a set, but will not be ready until July or August. Also, will you be selling spares? We...

    As anyone is installing and testing these, it would be great to have a video or pics of the process as well as testing the difference between original and new. I am excited to see how these go together, perform and the reliability.

    Transmission/transfer case temps

    Thanks. Engine seems fine on the temps, fan kicks on at 205 as it should be. Pointed laser thermometer at transmission and its showing 237. That is the casing, which will retain heat. Just thought it was a little warmer than I should have been. That was after pulling up a mountain pass for 30...

    Transmission/transfer case temps

    I just got a IR laser thermometer, (which I probably shouldn't have because now I'm running all over checking temps). I was curious what the temperature of the transmission and transfer case should be running at? 2002 M1078a1. So far truck is empty/stock, but pulling mountain passes in...

    ECO DIRECT DRIVE HUBS

    They look awesome. I am interested but need to build my habitat box first. I would like to get a set for my 1078 later this year. Great job on these!

    I am sorry if you have already posted before, but aluminum or steel for the hub caps?

    ECO Hubs Who needs 3:07 gears?

    Yes, just purchased in January. 2002 M1017a1. I have started the build. Once the snow melts, in July at altitude, I will be testing to see how it preforms pretty much stock and then go from there. I understand the size weight and other limitations of these vehicles and do not plan to push it...

    ECO Hubs Who needs 3:07 gears?

    Thanks for the response. I just posted below about the area/conditions that we are typically in and I know it's not the normal for most. I am very intrigued by what you are doing and will be following along. Awesome work that you are doing and I look forward to seeing your continued testing...

    ECO Hubs Who needs 3:07 gears?

    I appreciate the insight. A couple of my thoughts were by losing the 2:1 how much would that effect the power or ability at 10-12k in elevation? I would be losing about 15-20% of the engine just with the elevation and then losing the 2:1 as well. I'm guessing that how I am wanting to use the...
