    CHUCKY'S TREE HOUSE !

    Mine rocks at the subframe level. You've isolated the main frame, so.... ;p

    M1078 fmtv ctis

    True, but it adds up. If someone makes a drop-in manual controller in an enclosure that has just plugs into the cannon plug and turns on....for under $300 delivered...they should send me one for testing. :)

    M1078 fmtv ctis

    Yeah, the A0 was confirmed and in theory the Arduino would work in all variants of the FMTV. I was able to test and confirm that it worked with the A1R so it's 100% confirmed compatible with all now. The test went so well I decided to purchase the device. I might have saved a few bucks going...

    Turret hole enhancement ideas

    I'd rock it as a permanent window. IMO, any functionally opening hatch you attempt to install up there is going to leak like the original turrets did so I'd stick to permanent and seal it good. I'd certainly add some form of sliding shade to keep the greenhouse effect down as much as possible...

    M1078 fmtv ctis

    My controller went 5-solid awhile back. I just installed my new Arduino controller from Plasa. Very plug-and--play. And it's quite simple to change the preset psi for each mode. I plan to do a proper review thread.

    Interesting "ears" for the mirrors, too

    LMTV Brakes Not Releasing

    Was the truck sitting up for an extended period? Have you hit the brakes with a hammer? I've encountered both LMTVs and M1082 trailers that had been sitting up and developed "stuck" brake shoes. A few smacks with the old 10lb sledge did the trick. Typically from being put away wet or hot and...

    M1079 only moves in reverse

    Another thing before you bend over for surplus replacement would be to check the wiring and connections. I've seen broken wires, wires pulled from connectors, chaffed wires, brittle/broken insulation, etc. At the very least do a CLOSE inspection of the connectors at the controller and at the...

    MV Addiction filled. Reis the Beast M1078A0 is born

    Yeah, the 24v capable units are st00pid expensive now. Way cheaper to just get a 12v charger for each battery.

    MV Addiction filled. Reis the Beast M1078A0 is born

    I should have scrolled down and read your post before I chimed in. But yeah, it instantly flagged as suspicious when I saw it.

    MV Addiction filled. Reis the Beast M1078A0 is born

    Might want to look into that site before ordering. It's throwing red flags as being a scam site at every level. Website registration: On 18th April 2022, the Glanto shop was registered. Registrar: GoDaddy.com LLC was the registrar of the Glanto shop. Trust score: Glanto has a very poor...

    S-250 Camper

    I seal all the exposed foam areas like that with bedliner. I tested FlexSeal and while a similar product, the bedliner cures hard so is what I found to be better for the task. Just don't spray it on so thick that it the window/vent can't fit in the hole.

    M1083 Voltage drop and intermittent start issues found

    Guy on FB with an A1R just did this very thing (hooked up the batteries backwards). Now he has Christmas lights for a dashboard (not strobing in sequence, but just all flashing at once) ...and a bricked truck it seems. :(

    1083 AO Transmission fan

    You could always add a dummy light that confirms that the aux ran is also running with the main. Or you could just get out and check while underway. (be sure to film that)

    1083 AO Transmission fan

    1) 24v power wire to fan (mine has a pair of 24v Spal fans) 2) On/off toggle switch 3)??????? 4) Profit

    1083 AO Transmission fan

    You could always add a manual override and force it on when the truck is running/warmed up.

    CTIS Transducer

    Yep, yep. Rgr all. That's why I just want to put it back to the OEM for the Arduino setup. I suppose the software could be simply adjusted here, but the goal here is to confirm it works on the A1R. We know it will, but one less rock in the cog if I put it back to OEM.
