    Adding Cruise Control to C7

    I still can't lift my cab. My truck was built in 1998 and rebuilt in 2006. During the rebuild process is it standard to keep the same engine model and is the cruise control straight forward for all of these? My trucks gets to 58-62 on the phone gps...only 55 on the gauge but it takes a lot of...

    roof mounted cab AC

    Thanks part of my decision was based on comments about the red dot unit not working well and costs. It is hard to figure out what a realistic cost is for the system. I see fair priced components but the complete systems seem to be fairly high. I also have to assume that everything surplus is as...

    roof mounted cab AC

    I know that they will run well off a generator but if they will run off power that is already being produced through the alternator/inverter that will be better. The truck already costs alot to run so if I can utilize some of those costs to cool it down without adding more costs or noise that...

    roof mounted cab AC

    Are they running it off of alternator as a standard load or do they have a battery bank? I am surprised that a 3000 watt inverter can handle it. If you can find the model number of the Coleman unit I will buy the same exact one. Thanks,

    roof mounted cab AC

    Did the inverter eat through the battery bank? I have some very high end inverters tripplites from Ambulances that will handle the load. I don't think I will use the beast enough to put $4000+ into a proper AC setup. Looking forward to those pictures. Are you close enough to your clients to see...

    roof mounted cab AC

    The truck I found the roof mounted AC on is Govplant item number 813352. It looks they are using a Domectic AC with an inverter.

    STOP Indicator and Water Temp Light Malfunction

    My stop indicator light and Water Temp Light have come for no reason. They come on and the engine is cold with full coolant. I am hoping for a simple fix, bad ground or nicked cable. Has any one else had this problem. I still can't raise my cab so I don't have the full picture yet. (Hydro Pump...

    roof mounted cab AC

    Does anyone have a roof mounted AC in the cab? I have reviewed posts about the red dot units and it seems that they don't cool extremely well. I am wondering if the unit below is run off a generator. I would not mind doing this if it works well and keeps the cab cool. I don't think a inverter...

    batteries in lmtv?

    I can confirm that the group 24 batteries worked. I installed 4 in a walmart parking with a crap walmart tool set. They don't sit perfect and the cover will need to be strapped down but they work. I went with 24F. Thanks

    Two rows of seats in cab?

    I rode in jump seats in a 1980/1990s Nissan Hardbody with no complaints at 6'7 as a teenager when I wanted to go fishing. I was surprised the cab in these isn't that bad. I am debating on weather Air Seats are even needed. The middle seat is coming out. I need seats with dual arm rests.

    Adding Cruise Control to C7

    Did the cruise control setup work? What was your total costs? Can somethings be pulled from a Cat truck? I messed around with low speed cruise with the handle throttle but would not use that at high speed. Thanks

    CTIS issue

    What made you switch out the CTIS controller? Did you get the problem fixed? I believe that mine may have over inflated the system and blow out a tire. I disconnected the system after that.

    Hydraulic System Tips

    Not complaining it just seems like a common problem. I made a post about the O-ring issue with a video reference nearly two years ago and figured out that someone combined or deleted some of my content when moving posts around. My problem is much more then the seal. I need a spring it is broken...

    Hydraulic System Tips

    National O-ring 216 worked on my 1st LMTV; hopefully it will work on my second. I wish someone would sticky a parts guide. It took me several hours to find posts with the correct part number. I understand that some people are anal and want to only show the exact military part numbers but that...
