    ECO DIRECT DRIVE HUBS

    Steering Dampener

    My truck seems to drive very nice with or without the dampener. I still have a vibration (tire? ) that comes and goes. Nothing at lower speeds, 50/55 but at 60 and above its there sometimes…. I thought it might be the start of death wobble? The dampener didn’t make any difference on that...

    Steering Dampener

    Another project done on my m1078. Fabricated and installed a steering dampener. I was going to do a dual set up however this seems to work nice . I can always add another shock if needed.. Much less feedback from the road, Pot holes etc. It does take a little more effort to make quick...

    ECO Hubs Who needs 3:07 gears?

    First hub done at edm today. Needed to tighten it up a little. The fit was better than stock, but not as good as it could be.. Small change in program should be good!

    AC Installation. Charging capacity and oil capacity?

    They may tell you to drain the compressor . Then install something like 2 to 3 oz in the compressor then distribute the rest in the Accumulator and condenser. If the dryer has a sight glass( sometimes tapped over) that is a good indicator of charge. No bubbles In the sight, good to go...

    Insects blocking brake vent lines?

    Check your fuel tank vent hose, did mine yesterday. Located under the spare, you can get to it from the bed of the truck. Mine was plugged tight. Remove the hose from the top tank fitting try to blow thru it.. M1078

    ECO DIRECT DRIVE HUBS

    The short of it is these hubs replace the outer reduction 2:1 with 1:1 direct drive. Reducing engine rpm by 50%. Increasing fuel mileage. Reduces noise in cab dramatically! Making you new to you M1078 much more drivable and fun!
