    Fifty Buck Seats

    They're wired so I'll venture to say heated but I've not confirmed. The picture looked like the end of the armrest might be scuffed but it was just dust. I'm pleased either way. There is a fellow out of NV I think who sells Pacifica take outs for decent prices all the time but the shipping...

    Fifty Buck Seats

    I figured it was $50 each, but when he said come get both I did. It was local so too hard to pass up. 2020 takeoffs from a handicap conversion. He said they never were even sat in. Wasn't planning on going this route and they may end up in another project, but if I like them enough I'll fab...

    What have you done to your FMTV or LMTV today

    I was doing a recovery and they swung a forklift around to the front and they guy was spreading the forks out to lift the front by the bump and I stopped them. Caged the breaks and rolled it out with my truck and a strap. Forklifts are the spawn of the devil !

    1088A1 Starter Problem

    He keeps providing all these amazing answers. We suspect that he may be the inventor. ;)

    Allison transmission issues on a 1078

    Suggestion: Find the "WTEC II Manual" . If it's not in the TM section here, Google it. Small pdf doc. Has all the codes and the how-to's....

    FMTV vs International Navistar Family

    I'm not sure but weren't those made at the Garland Texas plant? I know that their main op is in Chicago (which also btw ....moving to Texas) but I thought the MTVR stuff was done in Garland.

    Battery disconnect?

    I always do if welding on the truck. I've heard horror stories not limited to the LMTV.

    So Power Switching...

    I get ya. But the first video specifically mentions RVs. His whole series looks to be RV related material.

    I don't have the link that sold me on 24, but it was like this info...

    So Power Switching...

    No, there was something about 24v solar and batteries being more efficient than a 12v system. I think I had been looking into 12/24/48 and settled on 24v. I'll have to see if I saved any links.

    Appreciate all the input !

    So Power Switching...

    Rgr all. I have a little battery and tray for my genset (it's actually a BAPU battery charger with a 6KW gen head installed...overkill I know, but I can power my house with it from the truck). It's hooked up to the truck batteries (being 24v). Long ago I had settled on 24V in the hab but I...

    Is there a consensus on cab floor sound / heat shield?

    You may want to price making your own. The shop that does my sewing gave me a $50 quote on stitching (there are really just the two seams at the engine cowling). https://cabinsulation.com/floormats.html

    So Power Switching...

    *the reason I think this is viable is that I rarely will be anywhere camping that has shore power

    So Power Switching...

    Yeah, this is what I was originally going with. Just a simple 3-way manual switch. But then I got to thinking an automatic switch would be nice to incorporate. I figured it would either require a 2-way manual combined with a 2-way auto in some fashion. I've no idea if there is such a thing...

    So Power Switching...

    I'm starting to gather the bits I need for plumbing and electrical. I'll have 1) shore power 120v, 2) generator pushing 120v to the hab (the gen also has 240v for my welder should the need arrise), and 3) battery/solar. I have my mind wrapped around the concept of an automatic switch, but I...

    Looking for a manufacturer of this "grommet" type of stuff

    I've found it in a few frame openings as well. It's good to have anywhere an airline might chafe.

    Truck won’t start and transmission pad not lighting up

    What year truck? A1's have a battery disconnect that will kill the works.

    Issues with 3-piece runflats installed incorrectly?

    You got a spare on the truck. Roll with it ! j/k I'd have them done right if time allows
