    LMTV Switch Panel Install

    IMO you're better off running it from a time delay relay. They're pretty common, and wait a (usually programmable) amount of time before de-energizing after the vehicle is switched off. This will allow some loads to remain on, for short trips away from the truck, like if you're charging a phone...

    The WeenieWagun v3

    Decided it needed to be taken out to work out any bugs. 20 miles of back roads and 15 miles of highway and 5 back roads on the way back. win some... lose some. Idle seems to be a bit low... hovering around 400..Could explain the god awful racket under the hood. Getting up to 500rpm kills the...

    The WeenieWagun v3

    Today was an excellent day (after work) to get some work done on the truck. Started cleaning out the toolbox that's built into the truck. Removed a bunch of the old wiring left by the fire department - need to finish that up tomorrow morning and tie the other wires back up. Busted my lip...

    I have no preference. I just want the data available for people to see!

    True failure rates of the 6CTA8.3L injector pump?

    Also, wouldn't be a bad idea to flush the pump at this point, if you get it running. I'll have to find my other post about it.

    Red River Army Depot (RRAD) rebuild??

    RRAD is hit/miss. In my truck, the passenger seat cushion was replaced and like brand new while the driver's seat was torn to #%(&. They replaced all the rubber under the hood, even leaving the parts tag on some of them, but then kept the old ether fuel pressure sensor (which was leaking)...

    True failure rates of the 6CTA8.3L injector pump?

    ^^^ ALL of this.. basically stole my post.. :cool: Diesel engines are stupid simple. They require 3 things. Air. Fuel. Compression (heat). Find out which one you're not getting, and you solve your problem. Being this is an M939 series, you have to worry about the pickup tube and the now...

    Rate this front bumper modification...

    I have a winch-less truck. Was tempted to do the above mod but I also thought it might be a bit too low.

    Rate this front bumper modification...

    The opening is offset. It's not centered. I learned that the hard way when installing lights into the bumper. So, when it's flipped upside down, the offsets are on the opposite side. If you've never paid attention to the front bumper, you might have missed it.

    How much total wattage is on the roof?

    Rubber spring bolt camper Mount design.

    I would be concerned that if there's enough torsional flex, the side walls would actually come in contact and either prevent movement, or bend/break. It looks like a good idea, though, and to be honest I'd love the CAD file to run to a shop to see if they could cut it. :D
