I feel like there is a story here.

It's a bit of a process, I personally use a dpa3+ and an old laptop with a serial port but many USB options exist. Software for tcm reprogramming, you need Allison doc. If you want to reprogram the ecm, you need cat et dealer. People are around that can do these services (I'm not one) or if you...

Reprogrammed the transmission controller to not aggressively downshift when using the Jake. Also did the same to the MTV. This way I can choose to downshift for more engine braking and it doesn't aggressively max out the revs. It's the "engine brake preselect shift range" setting. Normally at...

I'm not sure the total plan, however I do want to fit all 4 up front when desired. Thankfully we are all thin so this can happen. I was considering widening the bench seat on each side (there are several inches to gain on both) and keeping the air ride driver seat. Adding a seatbelt is totally...

Has some good info I haven't seen other places. A few diagrams with number identification as well. Since it's a course book the resolution isn't amazing though. https://mega.nz/file/zZUGgBAL#qIv3ETsmzeF3ToquoMeUGCv2Uudko-q7Tw7Q-JZfx6Y

Working on figuring out the horn. The pieces in my hand were just laying on the dash. Figured out how it goes together but I'm pretty sure there is supposed to be a wire connected to the brass part in the wheel. Likely 3 mounting holes and then one for the signal wire. Looks like I'll need to...

Searched around but haven't found any information on a replacement. Any part numbers or civilian options out there?

I'd love to make mine very easily removable and self-sufficient when it is, however I'm not sure the tradeoff will be worth it. I'd like to have a very large passthough by taking off the roof and rear panel and have that area connected to the camper. That thing is very cool and I looked into...

MTV is registered as an RV (because it is) but that also means I don't have to get a CDL. I'll register the mtvr as the same. Unfortunately rules and licenses are excessively complicated...thanks government for the "freedom".

I have never done an EUC before. I do think I bought 2 weeks before yours, so maybe yours is imminent? FMTV is an RV build over the last year or so and we have been having a great time going on weekly trips in it. That's the reason I got the MTVR it's going to be the RV version 2 but the build...

Have successfully talked to every computer on the truck to help with any future diagnostics. Some interesting finds are the failure of the solenoid for the front axle locker, this turned out to be a flyback diode(solenoid coil was actually okay) and after taking apart the solenoid valve, seeing...

I see where this was mounted on mine and the dangling wires are present too. There is a zip tied wire loom in the engine compartment too. Easy to remove.

He is using ECO hubs. Instead of 2:1 reduction, his is 1:1.

In WI, they require it based on the highest of gvwr or actual weight. I was wayyyyy over so didn't want to tempt a grumpy cop.

Haha, awesome! I'm sure some time went into that!

Rigid mounts in back, spring mounts in front, with some rubber pads.

Cleaned up the TIM and ensured it was getting power but still not detected so it's fried. Will try to find someone with a working one. As I'm going through the truck, I'm really impressed with the engineering (well except for the location and weatherproofing of the TIM :). Glad I caught this...

No concern. Probably traveling at 55mph or so, and if I was concerned about mpg....I picked the wrong damn truck. I'm all about improving mpg where I can, and on my MTV I went with eco hubs to improve mpg and top speed (it was limited to high 50 or so). This one I want to retain the hub...

I think it might be a case of "my tank has a gvwr of 25,999 so I'm legal!" (Which I support)

Started looking into a few of the issues, found out the solenoid is shorted (#3 corresponds to the front diff) and its the topmost one in the manifold. I did a quick search and don't see many of these availible...it looks like a regular automation component so hopefully there is some cross...
