I have the 330HP 3126B motor in there. I wouldn’t worry about not having enough power. Basically you have enough speeds in the transmission that you will just operate at a lower gear to do the same thing. The only time I would worry is if you had a certain off-road scenario you do on a regular...

Sounds exactly like what my truck did. Pretty sure that is the completely normal sound of the gear reduction hubs. Mine did it more or less any time I was holding a set speed above 40, but adding/removing throttle quieted it up. Gear lash was exactly how I thought of it. I rode in another LMTV...

Glad you enjoyed watching them, I certainly enjoyed making them!

My 2003 ran hot and cycled the fan frequently. I pulled the thermostats and tested them and they were opening way hotter than the stamped temperature. New ones from Cat solved the problem. Fan rarely kicks on now and temps are very stable.

I am still getting Google ads even though I purchased an account upgrade. See below screen shot.

push adds air, releases the brakes. Pull removes air, which sets the brakes. I can only speak for my auction 1082, One of the caging bolts was missing, but I didn’t need it since the brakes operated fine. It’s a crapshoot with auctions of-course but your trailer looks like it had some things...

It’s the same effort to drive to NAPA and get a gladhand adapter as it is to drive to NAPA and buy caging bolts. If he airs up the tank, he still has use of the brakes so if he gets into an“oh crap” moment during unloading, he can have a helper in a safe zone with a string tied to the parking...

fill the tank with your air-compressor, pull the parking brake release and roll it off?

So what additive would you recommend?

Do you have a picture of one of these? I’ve never heard of it nor is it mentioned in the TMs that I used when I did my tires. I have a high speed imbalance that I wonder if it could be related.

For What’s It’s Worth My 2003 LMTV with a 3126B oil pump was staring to show premature wear on the bearing at only 9k miles. The new pump from Cat had a markedly larger bearing on the idler gear….. Glad I swapped it, oil pressure improved.

picture is worth a thousand words, you are simply ripping all this garbage out and connecting the inner axle to the outer hub.

The full weight of the cab is supposed to be borne by the pins circled below in red. The adjustment procedure is to basically completely loosen the cab latch where it attaches to the back of the cab, lower the cab until it is fully resting on the pins, then tighten the top latch bolts, lift the...

Mine had the same problem, whatever was under there crumbles away, you can actually see it there piled up on the seam of your cab. None of the parts breakdowns that I could find actually show that bushing, I think it is actually sprayed in there. I replaced mine with a bunch of rubber O-rings...

Other than the exhaust issue, how did the oil pump swap go?

The thought didn’t cross my mind to completely stop, but It would’ve been no problem. In 1st the truck has a huge amount of torque available. 1st is basically a granny gear, I could have started and stopped on a steeper hill even. Next time I am out and about I will try that. In regards to MPG...

I’m not sure this would be considered rock crawling, but I took a video climbing up what we are thinking was a 30 degree trail. I left it in 1st and it climbed like a champ absolutely no concerns at all. I bet it would have climbed it in 2nd no prob, but 1st was pretty nice, I could wind it out...

Wow that’s just awesome!

Is your tounge extension something you built or is it available as a kit?
