    Cheap CTIS diaphrams

    All the seals (orings and sealing washers) are off the shelf and I've seen people paying $15 for the diaphrams. You can get them much cheaper and they are factory originals. I've used quite a few. https://www.pgttruckparts.com/599805-Eaton-Diaphragm-Seal-p/2264-599805.htm

    What have you done to your MTVR today?

    What have you done to your MTVR today?

    Mine is in process, hope it arrives soon. Glad yours was only simple stuff, I wasn't brave enough to go with a non runner. Sure is a shame the auction process and how almost no effort is put in. Didn't want to deal with a blown engine or tranny. Do you mind sharing the auction? Curious how they...

    Looking to Purchase an LMTV

    My advice(because the other guys covered everything else), do not buy from Midwest Military Equipment. Expensive, they do some maintenance and paint but major issues are left untouched.

    MTVR ECM Configure File

    Seems like CAT SIS doesn't show part numbers for military serial numbers. I have to make guesses with my C7 as it reports the serial number isn't in the system. Not sure the best way to compare?

    MTVR ECM Configure File

    Not sure the validity, but finding some indications the 505 tune is designed for engines with some modifications, including Jake changes, piston rings, oil jets. https://beaveramb.org/forum/index.php?topic=1381.0

    CTIS pressure settings increase - no programming, transducer, or module required.

    Dealing with issues due to half-assed CTIS engineering.

    He provides a great service. I already rebuilt my originals and they were in great shape - except for the hoses. I wish we had a source for those.

    Put in my review, will see if it ever pops up.

    Dealing with issues due to half-assed CTIS engineering.

    Wish there was a reasonably priced source out there. I dislike the chunky elbow, but they work so I'm okay with it. I'm okay with companies making aftermarket options but this is like the 3rd time I've been burned by Midwest ... You'd think I would learn. Unfortunately all the other CTIS seem to...

    From fire truck to MTV

    Had another trip this weekend, I'll start with the highlights...the negatives piss me off and are at the bottom. Wonderful state park with very dark skies, some river crossings, incredible silence with no road noise. Kids found a friend and rode bikes, had wrestling matches, cooked smores. Had...

    Dealing with issues due to half-assed CTIS engineering.

    Replaced all my CTIS wheel valve assemblies with these: https://midwestmilitaryequipment.com/replacement-ctis-wheel-rim-valve-air-hose-assembly/ From the outside they looked like NOS units and I didn't inspect too closely. They certainly looked good, the hoses were the correct length, high...

    From fire truck to MTV

    Replaced the gaskets on the oil cooler to avoid the potential for filtered oil mixing with non. Turbo shaft was smooth as could be with no play. Since it's not yellow I'm guessing it was replaced at some point. Installed some gas springs on both pass through doors. Door to habitat was coated...

    If anyone sees issues, let me know so I can start collecting parts.

    M1078A1 "Pandora" Build | 2024-??? | ***Picture Heavy***

    Every time I've compared, oshcut was cheaper by a bit

    M1078A1 "Pandora" Build | 2024-??? | ***Picture Heavy***

    Just a hint, oshcut takes .sldprt files directly, no need to convert them to dxf :)

    M1078 A1 transfer case

    Absolutely ridiculous they charge so much for something that is fixing their original error. They also charged far less a year ago.

    M1078A1 "Pandora" Build | 2024-??? | ***Picture Heavy***

    I've ordered quite a few things from oshcut, a number from corten as well. My generator is held on the truck with some of them. Have a bambu x1c I've used to make various truck things. Working with solidworks as well.

    Caterpillar 3126B oil cooler problems

    Did this on my C7 today, went smoothly, except the studs wanted to turn into the manifold a little when using new nuts. Studs are now slightly inset from nut end now, this is exacerbated by the thicker grimspeed gasket. Cooler plate was warped about .015" but I was able to flatten it by putting...
