Has anyone here tried the higher capacity offerings from Prowinch yet? https://prowinch.com/shop/20000-lbs-electric-waterproof-winch-wire-rope-24v

Yep. That's what I've done. Now the whole system runs for awhile but shuts down after ~15m or around 62°C, and flashes E-14. Curious if there's any experience on this forum.

I posted my troubles on the ExPo forum, seeing as they aren't specifically MV-related, but maybe someone has walked a mile in my shoes on this forum. Chinese hydronic diesel heater- this one specifically. It's installed and bled reasonably well. Heat cycle starts, pump kicks on briefly, and...

I will be pulling the current tank and replacing it with this one. The delta is only about 300# (~35g * 8 #/g = 280#).

I've been struggling daily with getting my hydronic heater to properly function, so I took some time off to tackle something else. I've wanted more fuel on board, especially now that I will be (eventually) burning diesel for heat and hot water too, so I picked up two spare fuel tanks and did...

HAH! Doug and I chatted about this very subject an hour or three ago. He has pumpkins with 3.07's and lockers, or he will have to swap the lockers out and keep the 3.90's and add ECO hubs. I think our conversation was making more work for him... I think he should definitely do ECO hubs...

@sargentwolf was last on here in Aug of '22, so not likely there will be an update.

A fried box is nothing to worry about. 3 switches and some wiring and you can have manual, discrete pressure control: https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/manual-ctis-electric-over-pneumatic.182033/ I did mine like Ron shows and haven't thought twice about another box bricking on me. It's a...

My cab is still tilted up for other reasons but as a lovely feature, there are actually three shock settings. Unbolt the top of the shock, compress fully, twist to select the setting, fully extend, and then re-secure the top bolt. They ship in the soft setting and that's how I installed them...

What is the housing they are in?

One of the things I am struggling with the most currently is what exactly is the anchor? I am familiar with the concept of deadman anchors but haven't any hands on experience in this realm. It feels like it'd be a pretty tall order for a deadman to provide functional assistance in something...

Replacement cab suspension arrived yesterday and was installed last night. Went with non-OEM offering from Bentley Metal Fab in Cedar City, UT, which offers bolt in replacement using commercially available hardware with excellent quality at reasonable pricing and great service. I am in the...

Hi O-B, Your circuit kit arrived today. Thanks!! It's getting cold around here and will be a nice function to have.

Thanks OB, I appreciate that. Will PM you next. Chris

He has posted $950 plus shipping. After thinking about mine, I confirmed that I actually had picked up just one used OE unit to replace the dud in the cab when I bought the truck. Not remembering which one I replaced, I may now end up doing both. I have a feeling it was the other side though...

From their FB post: I’ve been quietly developing these longer travel, adjustable cab air ride kits over the past couple months and have come up with something that I think is what the FMTVs should have come with from the factory. The first kit that I designed and built has been on a wildland...

Thanks Doug, will poke around for one of those. I think this should get you a glimpse of the FB offering without joining FB: https://www.facebook.com/groups/919950112148634/permalink/1509256103218029/ Edit: no it won't. Will try to find a different way in. Not being terribly successful....

Couple steps forward, couple steps back... Noticed my compressor cycling more than I thought it should. Since I wrapped up the CTIS repair, it made sense to start digging into that. I thought it was the leveling switch for the cab air ride, but the more I poked through it, the more I...

I have a friend interested in a 1078 in the Melbourne area. I know it's a long shot but is there anyone local who wouldn't mind taking a look at it? He's based in Ohio and it's the other side of the country for me...
