What a surprise I found.
Looking like Private Parts skipped the LO chapter!? :oops:

Rust everywhere... Whats the best way to determine if the 'guts'...
Got after it this weekend.
Did rear hub service and ECO hub install.
Inner bearing service and seal, CTIS seals, and ECO hubs. I used anaerobic RTV instead of the specified grey...

Hi IronhorseTX
Also a new A1R owner in DF/W. M1078
I’m two months in and have learned a ton. The members here have a tremendous amount of knowledge and are extremely patient with the newbies. :)
I’m in the process of converting into our new overland rig as well.
Going through mechanical...
great! thanks Lostchain.
I know something is working, since i can hear the manifold 'burp' under the PDP when i turn the truck off...
I hope to get the hubs swapped in the next few weeks and will use this post in my troubleshooting.
I haven’t got too far into my CTIS yet. But my controller just doesn’t have any lights at all.

I’ll be doing eco hubs, CTIS seals, and inner bearing seals in the coming weeks. Also got some...

Either way, i'm curious of anyone that used the same setup here has had...
According to the power packer spec.
35 cubic inch capacity
0.249 cubic inch volume per stroke.
I'm just duplicating Chad..

Did that last night with the new pump.
I had the cap loosely on. Came out of the back and the cap...

I've just deleted my air over hydraulic setup. I just went with the power packer hand pump that BrokeOverland spec'd in his video, and what I think some here have done as well.
Plumbed directly to the cab lift cylinder.
Things went pretty smoothly, until I lowered the cab. Flip the lever...
I just tried Hagerty.. They won't insure my LMTV because it is not old enough... I have a 2007 model and they said it was too new... and told me to find someone else. :(
Edit: I'm in TX, btw
Trying State Farm now.
I'll keep my eye on it.. got a lot of other things on the 'to-do' list for the truck...
i am interested in your mounts though.. i'd much rather do the driver front cab mount once. :)
Passenger side and cab latch mounts are easy
Well.. Good news.. I already have two 5342-01-371-793 (part #7 above). These are on the shelf waiting to be installed in the front (both of the fronts are dust).
