Understood. Yes, they are "either or" devices. The Bluefire is just for display while driving.
Yep. The port will require modification (or a second modified port) to run the Bluefire. *unless the DPA4 doesn't care about being dropped down to 12v
Yeah, I'll have to locate a...
Not a problem.
I usually just watch the back of their heads at stops ....but eyes forward while driving.
The fancy display and all the lights and buttons? That's just to impress the chicks anyway.
Yes.
Via the Bluefire adaptor:

The Bluefire requires one of the 9-pins to be converted from 24v to 12v (else you will smoke the Bluefire) as per the guy on FB who smoked his first couple Bluefires. The solution was to alter one fo the 9-pin and...
So I have a couple readers coming for my A1R.
I picked up a cheap Deerbrorn DPA4 for the diagnostics and have a Bluefire on the way as well. Sort of redundant, but one is for the CAT ET diag softyware and the other is just to project the real-time data for a display. I've had the...
This^
Mine is sitting n the floor of my garage.
Not only is it LOUD (you can't sleep with it on) it is constantly warming up...blowing fire for two seconds.....cooling down for 5 minutes....warming up again.....rinse, repeat, And it's LOUD .
Did I mention how annoyingly LOUD it is?

Was the truck an actual M1079 or an M1078 w/ the M1079 box?
If the truck is an M1078 you won't have the fuel pump assembly. Easy enough to make one, though.
I can get you some pics in the morning if needed.
The two fuel lines:
One attaches to the small fuel pump box above the tank (I think it's the outboard line that supplies fuel up to the heater)
The second is the return and it ties into the "T" at the tank fuel return (same fitting that the engine return fuel line is connected)...
For a hab insert I'd maybe come in a half inch in each direction of the insert (ie: 3.5"x3.5" vs 4"x4" then dampen it with a rubber sleeve of some sort.
But yeah, the first insert I made for my bed crane only fit properly in two of the four holes.. I made it fit too tight (assuming...
Pretty much, this.
With no roll protection or seatbelts, rollovers are often fatal for anyone in the back of a pickup truck. These cabs don't stand much chance against all the weight involved, either. *exception seemingly being the M1079
I kinda doubt that these trucks are inherently...
You might even consider having them make you a couple spares to sell. Seems like someone is always looking for one to do the driver side. It'd certainly help cover the cost.
For your purpose of searchlight mount, you might even come up with a better design (I'd never thought...
They are out there in the wild, but not very common. The few that I've seen people selling were the gold-plated ones worth $1000..
IMO, your best bet is to take the left one to a fab shop and have them make a mirror of it. Done.
Or you can wait and maybe find a real one (because...
