    Caiman MRAP guidance on activating all the chassis systems.

    you will spend a couple hundred bucks with cat but that would be my suggestion as its about 1500 bucks to get set up with e-t for a year and than subscription renewals after that. unless you use it a lot its best just to pay cat

    I think I want one of these FMTV

    I think it is because there is more income there. also as stated looking at the Washington trucks they seem to have less miles on them than trucks at ntc or over on the east coast. another thing to consider might be they are finding their way to Alaska where they are in high demand. and seattle...

    5 ton a2 winter fuel

    use the soft plug heater and 750 watts will do what a 3000 watt tank heater will do. unless you love to spend money with your electric company. either heater will require draining coolant, and tank heaters have to be located properly for convection to happen in order to warm the whole block.

    Heater Check Engine Code

    no that's all part of the hard programing I have seen spikes do strange things but it is only rare. Usually when you see something altered it is an accidental stroke of a key and the person plugged in doesn't even know it.

    Heater Check Engine Code

    that's what I'm thinking using the engine serial number you can check with Cat they can tell you if that engine ever had one. Most functions like that can be disabled or enabled through Cat e-t you may need a factory pass word to do so, which means a trip to the cat dealer. at that time if you...

    Heater Check Engine Code

    here's my suggestion take the serial number off the engine run to the cat dealer see if it was equipped with such a thing if it is fix it. if not they can deactivate the function in the ecm with cat e-t. One thing to remember if it has the intake heater you do not want to add a starting fluid...

    Horse power for different engines without hard upgrades.

    I will bet the modern c-7 equipped models will have tier 4 emissions.

    Heater Check Engine Code

    I don't believe the a- 1 had the intake heater it should have had an eather system as long as the code doesn't set a cel I would think it should be ok the 3126 was a pretty basic engine with no real emissions package just an electronic control system. it should be able to be fixed by havein...

    Horse power for different engines without hard upgrades.

    I have my own personal Cat ET program, im not worried about being able to service it my self. based on my experience I would rather have the all mechanical 3116 even if it is cold blooded to start in the winter. As for the electronic engines it's the c-7 hands down. the operating system is more...

    5 ton a2 winter fuel

    the block heater will help it start I have run pour point depressed fuel down to below 0 with good success after 10 below you have to let things warm up so you are returning warm fuel to the tanks or you risk plugging the filter with wax.

    ive seen smaller rims set up so you could un bolt a few lug nuts and bolt a winch drum on makes more since than the rebar through the tie down point. this can also be done with a duce or 5 ton with dual wheels by running the ropes between the wheels. The BDAR manual makes for some good reading...

    DOT numbers on 5 tons?

    trust me your commercial vehicle enforcement officer will know exactly how to handle it, his criteria has to do with vehicle weight size equipment and if hazmat is involved. Don't be afraid of them they work for compliance and safety, they are not about writing tickets even if a random stop...

    Horse power for different engines without hard upgrades.

    complaints are one thing, I have also seen where the blocks are junk because they were cast in france. there was a limited run of weak blocks that had this problem, but a google search would have you think all the motors had this problem. the sn series for the lmtv' were built here in America...

    DOT numbers on 5 tons?

    I cant quote your state laws. generally non commercial vehicles are exempt per federal statute. I know of some farm states that farm plates exempt you from dot numbers inspections and logbooks, but not scales. In the state of ak you will buy commercial plates for a private truck, their way of...

    Horse power for different engines without hard upgrades.

    these engines are known for a lot of things dropping valves aren't one of them. Seat failures and injector cup issues in a few sn ranges for shure . most failures how ever can be traced back to an overheat condition or air in the fuel system causing injection system failures. one thing these...
