    Fmtv engine swap to a Detroit 50 series.

    they might have put 6.3 in the MTV and not the 5.9.... anyway though.... yes the 5.9 can be tuned up to similar specs as the C7..... but that tune would sacrifice the engine life and mpg a lot to get there. If can use less tuning needed to reach similar C7 specs. then your not pushing the...

    Gen 2 air conditioning install with C7 A1R - notes and pictures thus far.

    how close to windshield do you think a smaller AC would need to be to get that same de-humidifying the air... to have an effect on keeping windshield fog down?

    M1078 remove 2 batteries

    Agree..... the pulse system in reality works best IMHO in associaton with maintaining 100% charge..... by increasing odds a smidge more that max amount of sulfur is kept from adhereing to the plates; but that is even debated. For a few extra bucks.. with a build your own system worth the try...

    Fmtv engine swap to a Detroit 50 series.

    matters what your truck.... if the truck had a C7... then a swap to a computer engine is best to match better coordination with computer transmission. If your truck is older with mechanical engine ..... then a mechanical transplant would be best. The older FMTV and MTV on the short lived...

    you can make two or three of those yourself for the price they sell the solargizer system if your so inclined. Solargizer is nice unit for sure though.

    M1078 remove 2 batteries

    Solargizer (military versons) are confusing. They appear the same but some wayyyyyyy more expensive that another from same company... They are actually different. Priced right, the more expensive actually will charge batteries, balance batteries, and desulfate/pulse..... the less expensive...

    M1088 camper conversion

    if your hell bent on tilting..... put actuator to lift in center some how on pivots along with pins that can be removed/replaced in corners of solar array. Then you can tilt north south east or west. Basically works like how center lift in a Unimog and others with 3 way dump beds. Electric...

    M1088 camper conversion

    is it worth it to add tilt mechanism? Are the gains much? My understanding was the gains earned with tilt mechanism etc. are more expensive over time compared to just adding more panels??? Read that was not true in the past... is now with cost of panels dropped so much over last few years...

    How long can I go after Alternator stops working w/four 12v batts? and diagnising/fixing 200amp hummer alt on LMTV

    Interesting phenominom. Been nothing but storm after storm here... or just Farmer happy rain so all can do is charge batteries with the 110v charges for few hours then go to work... Wash rinse repeat. Well last couple days it would jump to 28v charge randomly.... I've not found a pattern...

    Insects blocking brake vent lines?

    catch 22 is this IMHO would get blocked by mud pretty quick . IMHO.... run all vents up to a air cleaner like box (6" PVC tube?) in the spare tire area.

    Winter front. M1078

    interesting that this helps. The military one blocks air much lower . Which makes since ... think 1/2 to 3/4 of the radiator sits below the grill . hmmm. then again I see now yours appears to tuck down below the grill a bit. How far down does it go?

    Rubberized Undercoating

    ifffff.... your going to coat..... yuo need something that sticks extremely well..... and ABSOLUTELY prevents air AND water from getting behind it. Hence why most these days use quality bed liner-ish Poly? stuff (rubber bits embedded or not) stuff. And you want to coat it in a large enough...
