    Anyone have picture of properly mounted air brake load sensor valve on an m1088?

    Does a Caiman C9 acert fit in a FMTV?

    or you could have a CAT dealer de-tune it...... granted check to see if they can do that first; Im not sure if it is possible. Would be a good question for Adept Ape. If so.... would stand to assume an engine made with intent to operate at 465hp/1450FLbs that would last long time if de-tuned...

    Standard Test Equipment port (A0's and?... why/why not utilize this more than we are doing now.

    sounds about right... though the Cummins was a step up from the 3116 and the Brazos was in that 3116 era of the FMTV's right? Does that Cummins exceed the 3126's?

    LMTV Passenger Seats

    IMHO dont put people you love in the cab. If your building a camper box.... built it stronger and put them in there. These cabs are tin-foil.

    good input... answered part of my question of ..... "was one or all of its data of any value outside of trouble shooting?." Seems still though that maybe not via ICE but via pulling thru other means one or two things of data it puts out can be utilized. For example tach and more voltage...

    Laptop not for any programming etc... just as a display of information to eye over at when something burps as your driving, use your laptop screen as tach, your 12v batt status as you mentioned etc. orrr... if truck farts and makes you jump into... oops.. pullover / stop driving.. then you...

    how do you hook your port to your laptop on your truck? How did you determine what in the port on truck was producing a signal from, in order to have it give correct wave report for it?
