    A1R Warning about gauges

    So if the volt meters speaks CANBUS, then the whole system is CANBUS. Seems a bit overkill to canbus a volt meter, but it does not really surprise me. Now that I think of it, if a had a truck with an ECM, I might carry a pre-programmed spare. My experience with ECMs has been not great. Don't...

    Oh ok, so he is just trying to get the speedometer working. Thought he had a dead CPU board.

    A1R Warning about gauges

    I have never looked at one on a military vehicle, but usually there is a central CPU and small cpu's in various aspects of its operation. Look for a box that is similar to the C7 or 3126's ECM. The box may be heavily shielded, if it is EMP proof. In a car with CANBUS, for example, the operation...

    A1R Warning about gauges

    I can read these signals with my Picoscope if it is CANBUS. If there is no signal, the whole board typically gets replaced.

    What's wrong with this picture.

    Let me translate this: "It's the thingy, next to the little thing that that looks weird, and I think there's something next to it that might be a funny looking thing, you know, by the tire" Your response: "Thanks honey, I'll get right on that"

    Reusable hydraulic fittings - worth the extra cost?

    Amen. Some people call us hoarders destined for a reality show intervention. I like to think of us as unlisted hardware stores : )

    Reusable hydraulic fittings - worth the extra cost?

    I need to run some hydraulic lines to various components on my truck. I have deleted the air over hydraulic pump. I am interested to hear opinions on the following: 1. Are reusable hydraulic fittings too expensive to justify? 2. Where do you find best prices? 3. Are these fittings reliable...

    I have one of thee too. My only concern if the proximity of the fuel line to the heat of the exhaust.

    Colorado Bill SB19-054 RE: (Former) Military Vehicle Motor Vehicle Regulation

    My hope is that we can get you guys back on the road ASAP and set a precedent. A precedent of correction of decisions made on inaccurate or limited facts. We all know another state will try similar antics. I hope we can build universal documentation that supports MV's in every state, should the...

    LMTV as an RV in California

    Yes, nice outline. As an individual you may not be able register in another state, but you are dealing with two different state laws, and the federal laws. If an RV travels to different states and countries, then are you really registering in the state where it is primarily used? Not a lawyer...
