Okay, R.E. the leaking bolt issue, seems this product might be the thing to use since it's designed to seal threads. Thoughts?

Made it home earlier this evening, Total miles for the trip was around 3200 with zero mechanical issues. Now to start working on the little niggles to get them sorted out.

Sorry I haven’t been posting, been pulling long miles. Day before yesterday was 710 miles. Been averaging 9-10 mpg hand calculated. In Green River Utah, headed for Austin Nevada today then home tomorrow. Truck has been running like. Swiss watch mechanically, but definitely some little niggles to...

No air suspension on the cab on A1R’s.

Thanks. Kind of reluctant to spray brake clean in a hole that goes into an oil passage. Pretty sure I watched a video on C7 issues and these bolts on the front being chronic leakers was mentioned, could be wrong though.

Highway pressure is set to 65psi. I understand the forces at work, relative to the pressure, the right thing to do is chalk the tires and adjust the pressure so the trade wear is as even as possible across the tread. Which I will do once home. We’re two days behind schedule already and I need to...

I have an IR thermometer with me. One front tire felt warmer to the touch, but I didn’t check it with the thermometer.

Planning to pickup a cheap GoPro copy somewhere on the road and put it under the truck to see if we can figure out what tires are the issue. Also wondering if maybe the rubber bead locks weren’t centered up in the tire prior to bolting the rims together and there too much weight off set for the...

Well, we’re on the road, landed in Morgantown West Virginia. Truck is purring like a kitten. Only bummers are that one of the bolts for the AC compressor mount apparently goes into an oil passage in the block and is leaking and making a mess, and my high budget aluminum wheel setup has serious...

Thanks, very generous offer. Hopefully I won’t have to take you up on it.

I go by the the “bring a raincoat and it won’t rain” philosophy, so I came as prepared as I could. Still lots to do on the truck, so probably not on the road until Sunday. Spent all day yesterday helping the seller get the truck ready, more of the same today, and then probably half of the day...

Thanks! Amazing that he can stand on something so narrow with balls that size between his legs:)

Road trip thread here.

On the ground in Maryland at 2:00AM loaded with tools and spares to break in my new M1078 A1R with a 2900 mile road trip home to California . Waiting for the seller to pick us up. More to come:)

Believe it or not, the CTI lug nuts delivered today! I’m on a plain tomorrow to go get the truck:)

Nice! I'm on a plane headed for Maryland to pickup my truck next Thursday. Can't wait.

Thanks! Me too.

Okay, as of Thursday the nuts are paid for and on order. The gal in accounting has been pretty helpful and said she would ask Hutchinson to expedite the order. Once Triman receives the nuts, she said she would contact me to take payment for shipping and said they would be able to ship them...

Sweet! I'll just letter roll then. Eco hubs and cruise will be on the truck, and I'll be giddy about finally owning one of these trucks, but I'll do my best to look miserable while on the road:)

Okay another Newby question. The seller has not yet received the SF97, so I'm thinking it's probably unlikely he will in the next couple of weeks and then get it registered in Wyoming, which would make it very easy for me to register is in SD. If he has been unable to register the truck and does...
