I've not been fond of the LED units. But yes they are a direct retrofit.

I've got a few M1078A1's and a M1084A1 available

They look to be a Freightliner Cascadia mirror.

I've found reference to the C6 clutch pack being in the transfer case, and first gear is obtained by activating C1 and C6 clutches. It would appear that you are more correct stating that first gear is in the transfer case. 7th gear is obtained by activating C2 and C4 clutches which are in the...

I believe the final gear (7th) is located in the transfer case. By swapping the 6th gears you would end up with a 6th gear lower than 7th.

Thanks for the necro bump this was mentioned over a year ago.

I would say it's not a stupid design as it's lasted 20+ years. It is not known the motivation for changing the fan clutch style. I could very well have been Kysor wanted to save money by offering a design that was less costly to manufacture, as that fan clutch style was used on a number of...

The axles are a bevel gear reduction on the wheel end, not portals. Regardless of bevel gear size the reduction will always be 2:1 unless they are eliminated.

When there is an air failure you don't want the front brakes to lock up resulting in the loss of all directional control.

There are 3 LTAS cabs in the civilian market, but they are bare cabs. You can purchase a new cab from Oshkosh for about 25K, but you still need glass, seating door parts etc. I totalled all the items up and came up with about $58,000 worth of parts needed to have an LTAS cab.

Items like this have to be scrapped and documented. Not doing so will lead to one being in big trouble.

It could be a defective cell in the battery

Make sure the weld is in a non structural part of the frame, as the steel is a heat treated alloy and welding it will reduce its strength significantly in the weld area. Also use the same steel to make the extension.

49 CFR Part 565 states that only the manufacturer can assign a VIN. Also another thing to consider, while trying to import my trucks from Asia, the NHTSA stated that they were not importable due to not meeting safety regs. I countered stating that federal code doesn't require these trucks to...

I offer the entire AC kits which includes an A1P2 evaporator/heater assembly.

I had all my cylinders rebuilt, and the parts were common off the shelf pieces.

True mileage is hard to tell as speedos are often changed out with new and from other trucks. I recall reading a story of one person buying an M1078 based on mileage (it had less than 100) and paying a premium for it only to find out it was used for maintenance training and needed a...

I've done the gear swap as an experiment I disassembled one side and took the other side off at the kingpins. It was about 3 hours to take apart the spindle and put back together. It took me 9 hours to get the corner mounted properly back on the king pins with use of an overhead crane, forklift...

Army technical literature states "about 4 lbs". I've found with my ac kits 3.5 to 3.8 is perfect. On 100+ degree days with 94% relative humidity vent outlet temps will be 36 to 38 degrees.

It depends on what you mean by FMTV.. The term FMTV encompasses the LMTV (max gross weight 23500 lbs) and the MTV (with a gross weight of up to 44500 lbs). With the LMTV all that is needed is a standard passenger car license (class C in Texas). For the MTV, one needs a non commercial Class B...
