I need to replace the two hoses that go up to the expansion tank behind the cab. I’m hoping I can just go to the auto parts store and buy bulk heater core hose by the foot.

No, I need to call you and enlist your vast experience to locate the issue. It still generates fine until the load goes over 50% then trips. I actually had the short circuit trip last time I ran it, but may have had the legs unequally loaded when a load suddenly came online.

Congrats on the truck Russ. Owning a MV is not an exact science. There are always little projects and improvements... It's one of the reasons I enjoy having a truck.

Looks like there’s a bit of rubbing when turning. I like they way they trimmed the fender flare.

Aren’t the stock lights glass anyway? Mine are

The box on a stock M-1079 has spring loaded bolt mounts to allow for flex. There are several discussions in various threads here on how to mount a box and overcome this flex.

Nuts. I missed the festival Brian! I spent the last few weekends breaking down the wheels and installing new (used) tires.

Great write up on the steering box install. Please post updates as you have a chance for a test drive.

Yes. Pics and video please.

Are you just needing a photo of the white wire? I’m not quite sure what you need to see. Can I get a pic of what you need without removing anything?
