No, if you have the 94 the computer stuff is sensors and such, most of your fuel injection is done by cam rockers depressing pre charged fuel injectors. Hypothetically you should be able to have a 100% electrical system malfunction while the truck is running and you might not even notice in the...

Yeah there is a LOT of spare room under the hood, so you're probably right, my head was up my fourth point of contact when talking about the fan's first point of contact.

Truck was pretty hard to get insured, I called a lot of folx who kept saying no. The dumbest answer all day was from state farm who said "our underwriter said he'd only insure it/you if you have been a long term state farm customer. that is how you lose a new long term customer, who would have...

Thanks! I am moving back home to Montana (Polson) so i won't even have to do the LLC thing. I would love to know the name of ANY insurance agent in Montana that will write me a policy. I've already tried Great West, Progressive (USAA), and now i'm going to start calling State Farm Agents in the...

In extreme conditions like adventure-style offroading in the mountains, where one suspension is against the bump stop and the suspension on the other side is bearing little to no weight, it might, yah...i'm honestly curious to see if it does or not...but i won't be taking the chance since the...

Old thread and all, but for you overland junkies who like to push vehicle capabilities this fan kill switch should also be used when torquing the frame left to right. Or said another way: When I used to deliver logging and firefighting equipment in MT/ID/WA/WY sometimes you'd have to...

Nice thread!

Yeah that looks great! figure I'm just going to see how far the suspension comes up when I take off about 50% of the weight on each leaf spring then just measurements and leveling valves...I don't suspect the entire setup would cost me more than $1k with the help of a local welder...might have...

Has anyone taken off the bump stop on the M1078 or another leaf spring vehicle and thrown some light airbags in their place...I reckon they would lift the vehicle a few inches make everything softer amd, you could even have individual 3 position bag switches for off road operation create...

If you're not trying to get into trouble, only get out of trouble with lockers, I was thinking it would be pretty easy to install an air actuated single tire brake on each wheel. That's how us rednecks did limited slip when we got stuck in the mud...just ride the brakes and then throttle up to...

From a legal perspective I feel like your insurance agents might not understand the definition of haul a load. Pull a trailer is pretty straight forward, but the terms: "haul" and "cargo" might be what are called "terms of art" which is a fancy legal way of saying, "It don't mean what it means...

In Diesel applications do they really use the word "exhaust" to stand for the "E" in EGT but actually mean Internal combustion temperature? Racing applications they worry about burning out a turbo too...my brother burned out two turbos in his turbo Corvette, but he's a dumbass. To go back to...

Not quite that simple, especially where fuel is still burning as it exits the compression chamber. Or to look at that idea from the opposite end, a diesel engine can have peak torque much lower than peak horsepower, in that instance of peak torque at lower RPM the fuel will have longer to burn...

Thanks. The names of th I drove an old dump truck with that issue. If you want to know where your "sweet spot is" see if the marine folxs use your engine. Eg. The 3116 is very highly used in marine applications. And they have detailed conversations about RPM and Propeller tuning for cruise...

Oh, Okay I get it. Thanks!

Where is the reduction hub? In the planetary part that is "inside" the wheel? It was my base assumption that this was the part that needed to be protected from the abuse of high speed operation, but of course everything is probably different for these little axles. Has anyone put a hub temp...

Was there a mechanical drawing somewhere for the mod? I seem to misunderstand it.

Devil's advocate here. I used to drive super heavy oversize trucks. When you get to the huge stuff you end up calling the truck a "prime mover" that's when they switch from 56k lb axles to the planetaries, that can handle stuff over 300,000lb gvwr. The thing with planetaries is, yeah at low...
