He won't get a straight answer because there isn't a straight solution. Depends on the state your carrier which person you call. I called progressive to try to insure mine and they said they absolutely cannot do it, then I happen to mention USAA and then the situation apparently changed, they...

You need short ones for the cans where the shock won't allow the longer ones. You could have only short ones if you wanted.

Not really able to find any difference in the "armored" vs normal flash files. Haven't been able to find the "updated" files that avoid the battery issue. Descriptions: 2294351: C12 Truck Software. 2000 MY 355/410@2100 1350/1550@1200 HWT_1.80.6.1_PROD MTVR CTIS MT apr02, interlock=18...

Found some more info. Wonder what the difference in the armored flashes is? The only thing I can find about the change from 220-4351 to 220-4352 is the 4352 is called "clean power". Found this document on the "armored" flash files. I would assume both the non-armored have the same issue...

Just too bad shipping is going to be around 4K since I'm about a thousand miles away.

I didn't find my MTV bad in the snow, live on a steep hill in WI. It's a heavy truck but probably the long wheelbase, 6x6 help compared to the lmtv though. I could climb the hill that many neighbors had their cars stuck at the bottom.

Another weekend trip in the books. This one was about 1.5 hours away. Started off by seeing the CTIS constantly trying to adjust to HWY. The front QRV was hissing air, indicating the front wheels valves weren't closing. This caused an imbalance in the front and two rear axles. I just unplugged...

I have gotten the "between modes" dual lights before. Wasn't with this situtation. I went through and checked the QRV - had a tiny bit of crud in it(cleaned it out) but that was it. Took apart the wheel valves and noticed a little silicon grease migrated from the outer lip inward so maybe that...

I'm remembering when I got the truck this QRV was missing...there was a mud dobber nest in the tube going to the front. I pulled out the dirt and flushed it out but maybe the remaining crud screwed up the new valve (old valve from Midwest)

CTIS is set at 85 PSI on an MTV, after filling and the light going solid, the quick release valve going between the front axle and the two rear axles, the one that's mounted next to the transmission on the frame rail, remains open draining the front tires down a bit before it closes. This...

No reason you couldn't, but you would want one rated for weather exposure in that case. Also perhaps to be able to remove those large gauge 12v cables.

Thought they were being held back due to the Ukraine situation? https://www.govplanet.com/for-sale/Light-Medium-Tactical-Vehicle-%28LMTV%29-2006-Stewart-%26-Stevenson-M1079A1-4x4-Van-Truck-Kansas/12589287?h=5000%2Cc%7C3467%7C3486%2Cmode%7C2%2Cmf%7C1&rr=0.5&hitprm=c%3D3467%7C3486&pnLink=yes Bet...

I mean it's missing the leading 0 but probably this one? https://koldban.com/product/20020-case-of-12-dieselmatic-ether-cylinders/

Used this kit (The universal 2.0 version) https://www.mgbrakes.com/products Would have like to use the direct mount master cylinder version, but they said it wouldn't fit. Basically I'm just using the service brake airline from the truck and it feeds into an air cylinder that has a cable...

Took out the front coil springs, this leveled the truck and made for a better ride. A1R only had those spring for future armor so without it, it was overly stiff. Had a check engine light today, cat et showed a high voltage on the boost sensor. $280 for the sensor and a lot of fighting I got a...

Haven't found it referenced anywhere. Best I can tell it's this https://koldban.com/product/20030-single-dieselmatic-ether-cylinder/ Can anyone confirm? My truck is missing it and will be arriving....sometime this winter and in Wi so I'd like to have the ether system working.

Did my fronts, super easy to do. Did use a wire wheel to knock down the sharp pieces of glue. Fronts were in great shape, not a single crack anywhere. May just keep a few spares and not worry about changing the rears.

Spring was easy to cut with the cutoff wheel, just watch out when it lets go, you might fracture the cutting disc. Requires 2 cuts to release pressure, second cut has almost no tension, then you can screw the springs together and a few whacks with a hammer you can take it all apart. Easy...

@GeneralDisorder did you glue the diaphragms back to the plunger? Wasn't expecting that when I opened mine up and noticed they were glued to it

Well, they are off! Not too bad to remove, They ended up being stroked out with just a tiny bit of compression still left after jacking the tire off the ground from a point on the frame. I was easily able to tap the bolts out in this position with little resistance. I measured before and...
