And those springs look different. Shinier. The o-rings are silicone or viton by the looks of them which should be good for higher thermals..... I'm not horrified by the look of that kit and the price point is attractive. Maybe they made improvements. :shrugs:

Yeah no change to the dipstick required in my experience. I'm sure the difference in coefficient of expansion between the two fluids is measurable but it's not significant enough to see with the naked eye would be my guess.

I know of an M1078 A1R in the Houston, TX area for $45k. PM me for details. Needs some work but has some upgrades. Lockers, highway gears, and a bunch of other stuff. The owner doesn't have time for tire kickers though.

There's more than you think and less than you hope. @AKPacker bought his M1079 A1R from a private party in the last few months. It was on Facebook for I think over a month with no takers for a much more reasonable price than MME would have asked. Unfortunately surplus has dried up for now...

Mine has never dropped below 20 psi no matter how hot I have got it. But is a C7 and technically the pumps are different part numbers. They basically the same in design. Where did the pump you installed come from? I hate the prices and being bent over a sales counter in public (how rude), but...

I pulled the *return* hose and let the cooler nipple dump into a bucket so when I did it the cooler also got flushed. If you have an MTV with the secondary cooler you should flush that separately and also note those have thermostatic valves so you have to work around that in the process...

Let us know how the chinese springs look compared to the OE. I wasn't brave enough to go that route.

Yep. I pulled the line off the cooler and I ran about 4-5 gallons through it. Filled the pan twice IIRC and basically ran it till the pump emptied the pan and then shut it down. After installing the new filters and draining the pan.

First of all - don't believe the 12,000 BTU spec. It's probably lucky to achieve half that. Just like the Chinese diesel heaters that make wild claims and when tested end up being about 50% or less of the claimed performance. Take note that the factory Red Dot AC is 30,000 BTU's. And that's a...

A1R is the platform to have IMHO. C7 with exhaust brake and capable of 370 HP with a flash plus LOTS of other upgrades too numerous to mention. The 3116 is anemic due to it's smaller displacement. Won't run ECO hubs as effectively for a large build on a 6x6 chassis. It's also old - saw a...

Hey I resemble that remark. :geek: I don't have a diesel tech (well besides Josh the Adept Ape but he's way over there somewhere out of reach) but if I did I wouldn't let him wrench on it either. Comes down to needing that familiarity down the road for when the day inevitably comes in a...

Yeah I promise you don't want to find the other end of that one. I went there. Wasn't worth it.

Interesting - have you considered reaching out to Red Dot and asking them?

More like $200+ / Hr at most heavy truck shops these days. Of course it depends on where.... at the small end of bear piss creek Arkansas you might could found Cousin Skillet that saw one of them trucks once.... well he fell out the back of it and got med boarded for being permanently cross-eyed...

Check the cab to chassis ground on the passenger wall of the radiator tunnel behind the grill. I HIGHLY suspect that this is what damages the push button switches. Just had one fail on an A1P2 that had a 2v drop across the cab ground strap a few months ago. The push button switches went through...

The governor should unload about 125 psi and reload at about 95 psi. I've had better luck with Haldex governors than Bendix. FWIW. Most are adjustable but some of them they set and then used bolt cutters (?) to cut the adjustment rod threads and essentially lock the nuts in position. I hate...

Right. I mean EMS-NG. And yeah the A0 manuals are scanned into PDF - they are here on this forum for download actually. They were *originally* paper manuals back in the 90's. PDF is really just an e-book reader with some searching ability in this case. EMS-NG doesn't have any A0 stuff that I've...

No. The problem isn't a "shift" harshness. It is a torque converter lockup clutch engagement that you are feeling and the problem is the difference in input speed to output speed at the point of engagement - this is due to the converter slipping because it is not fully loaded, and the clutch...

Nice. I was thinking of the NSN for the cable assembly - since the A0 was a paper manual truck and doesn't exist in electronic TM's that I've run across.

Heck yeah! Let us know what you find!
