    Thoughts on removing coil springs on A1R

    Yep, thats why I am not concerned building my habitat out of steel like a ships hull(1/8X3 ribs, 14ga skin). The cab and chassis curbs at ~14.8K i removed a few hundred in the tire crane and lift bars, and am moving much of the mid structure(arch and tire) to the rear so I am starting a...

    Thoughts on removing coil springs on A1R

    Thoughts on removing coil springs on A1R

    yea not sure how the 1/2" less travel will effect anything, if at all. I have not analyzed how the stock travel length overlaps the bump stop and projected spring down travel... I suspect they will work OK.

    Thoughts on removing coil springs on A1R

    Yea the closest I have come to viable is a class 6-7 Monroe truck shock, but it is 1/2” less travel than a stock A0 shock. I did come across some class A RV shocks, but have not done any research on them yet… I talked to Rancho at one point and although they made some of the appropriate...

    Front brakes m1084

    A clogged front blue glad-hand/vented cover would effect both front and rear brake release. the root problem of this is the 2way check valves located under the drivers floor(lift cab for access). If it is just the fronts that are lagging on release, there is a quick release(QR) valve in behind...

    What have you done to your FMTV or LMTV today

    yea if your oil light isn't coming on and the alt isn't dropping of line that sw is not closing. How close it is to a 15PSI activation point and its amount of hysteresis is another story, you would have t take it off and connect it to a regulator and yet another gauge to map its response...

    Ok, the larger sender pointing up is the gauge sensor, the smaller sensor lower, aft inboard on the same oil manifold, looks like the 15 psi oil sw that controls the oil light, alt energize and starter lockout… what year is your truck?

    What have you done to your FMTV or LMTV today

    Any oil idiot light? Forget if yours is controlled by the ECU or a standalone pressure sw.

    M1078A1 cab and chassis electrical upgrades including AC

    Oh yea, wether it is right or not in the end is your buisness, but it won’t ever get to that stage if the Is are not dotted and the Ts crossed. had an approved set of house plans in hand that I brought back to the engineer for “recommendations” because his end wall roof brace design wasn’t to...
