Yeah, that will flush right out then good to go....err park maybe. <grumble><grumble>

I thought so as well. It's an Allison class handbook for fire department mechanics, basically.

As I prepare to delve into the trans on my 94 for a checkup, I found this. It's a nice general overview used in training mechanics in the civilian world. I've found it handy and a bit less convoluted than the TMs. Of course it covers multiple models, but has some good info. ymmv...

Awesome. Yes, they are not just a truck they are an adventure ! ;)

<ca-ching> How many in the build?

Yep. Cheap is good. I'm not one of these "let's blow $100k on a camper build" guys. I don't have it. Lot's a retasked, scraps, RV takeoff, and surplus stuff. :)

Not that it matters, but this is what I've settled on. Almost all weight slung low at frame (except fresh). No batteries in house (especially under bed which is suicide). All diesel heaters mounted outside of actual hab. Underbed storage can be removed if I need to haul something long inside...

Yep. We used to also weight each corner. It's part of the equation as well for baseline. Once the coil overs were correct (which we don't really have expect on the A1R tucks, and it's a very different scenario since they are expecting a crapton of armor installed) then you would start tuning...

I did a mockup in my habitat using wood. Camped in it dozens of times, adjusting as I needed. Same concept, I reckon...

Nice work. Looking forward to the build out. *btw: the lifting points that slide out are just for lifting. When they do an airdrop, as far as I know they would only toss the airdrop versions (M1081 or M1093). These have the fold-down cab that allows them to be fit onto a skid. Not a...

See image I posted. Like that? That is OEM install.

Here's what's on my 2008 (w/C7) It's actually green.

I hate you ! ;p Seriously, this is part of the equation for one option so it is important. Most owners are running the 100a alt, so an alt swap would be in order. And given the dual voltage Niehoffs do tend to fail (and are *grossly* underpowered for our trucks) swapping to a 24v and then...

Rgr that. I've no current plans to pull mine but I may disconnect and lift it when I do my plumbing. Or perhaps next time I run the air out to do something, I will knock one off. I know that the spring specs come up all the time, so if I do I will have the local spring place spec it out for me.

Didn't you pull your box off that 1079 you had/have?

I assume you got your pictures after all this time. I do have shots of them mounted.

I was kidding. That's a spring off the front coilover from one of my prerunners. ;)

Here ya go, buddy !

Hmmm May have to do some cypherin' Product Code: N1224-1 NSN: 2920015592715 Voltage: 28/14 Output (Amps): 260/140 Dual Voltage: Yes Mounting Configuration: Hinge Mount Regulator Options: N3221 Regulator Configuration: External

I would like more info on the 260a Niehoff. There is so little out there on the A1R trucks (especially electrical) and I honestly had no idea it even came with the 260a until I got it home.
