Yes, I drove it around town for a while at various speeds up to 50MPH+. Sorry I wasn't clearer, that's what I was trying to say ("always blink "CTIS Overspeed" above about 35MPH"). Yes, I connected and checked that ground cable. If I put the green controller back in, it doesn't complain about...

Yes, that's what mine does, and only when the black controllers are plugged in. The original green controller doesn't have the overspeed problem (but does have the flickering problem, which is why I'd like to replace it). Do you have the black controller?

I've read through the prominent threads on it, and they didn't have much insight on this issue. If it were the manifold, what would the theory about how it causes a CTIS overspeed be? That it's incorrectly reporting the pressure? And why only with the black controllers? I've tried thinking...

Since I got the truck, my CTIS mostly works, but often flickers like SGTHoffer's video below, and sometimes goes 5-flashing (that shutting off the truck and restarting, as the manual says, seems to usually correct). I have a '97 M1078(A0), with the green CTIS controller. I've tried replacing...

Where did you disappear to? After the end of 2017, you went silent.

That's kind of funny, because we literally take the "universal" mounting plate, which doesn't fit, and then notch and slot it. What a waste.

I'm about to start this, and I'm a little curious because it looks like each of the sets of install photos in this post show the universal bracket notched and used a different way. One person only gets 3 bolts in, another person had to add slots to one of the sets of holes, and it looks like...

I put a 290HP engine in mine, and the difference is subtle at best, definitely nothing I would describe as "SO worth it". I pretty much forget it's in there. Basically, you can go up slightly steeper hills without it downshifting into 6th. Depending on how much the parts cost you, and how many...

The Neapco (4-0279) joints come with safety tab washers, that bend up against the head of the bolts, to prevent them from coming out. They work amazingly well, and you could still Loctite them if you wanted as well.

17-24 Ft*lb is literally engraved on the caps of my Neapco joints. 50 is an awful lot.

The boom does not really "raise/lower". It has 3 different settings, which you can pull the pins and move it to manually, but there is no ability to raise/lower it while loaded. No, you can not reach the rotation crank from the ground. Unless it was powered, you'd pretty much never be able...

It doesn't really put much force on the bed floor. The force goes into the "hitch" tube in the floor, which is welded to the c-channel structure under the bed. It's pretty strong (in this context, of a couple thousand pounds). Also, if that was the limiting factor, they should be able to...

Yes, the boom extends, and yes, that's the 800lb configuration.

No, NSN, but here's the data plate... I've only seen one other member buy one in two years, which is why I went ahead and paid $1500. They seem pretty rare (maybe because the Army never bothers to take them out of the crate? haha). Got everything cleaned up with a bucket of soapy water today...

Yep. A little pricier than I would have liked, but I figured it would save me a lot of time building one.

I'm curious how yours fit, and how you had to notch them.

I picked up an LMHC, and it finally arrived. The crate was weathered pretty bad, but everything inside looks ok. Data plate says it was made in '07. I got it all unpacked, and assembled in the truck. I haven't had a chance to clean the cables and terminals, so I haven't powered it up yet...

eBay usually has them. Just note that if you switch to the newer fan clutch, you need the newer fan (with the metal center, instead of the one with rubber bushings that comes apart).

Everything has pro's and con's. While the LiIon and LiPo batteries are much more energy dense (e.g. smaller and weigh less for same charge), they have the heating and cooling issues that have been mentioned, cost a lot more, can be fire risks, etc. On trucks like these, it seems space and...
