    Would EcoHubs benefit from reprogramming Allison shift points?

    Nice truck, would love to see some more photos of the front bumper mods.

    Petlas 395-85 R20 tires

    Do you need good performance on snowy roads? When I was looking for tires for my Ram last time, Stazworks had new PS22’s at a great price.

    Would EcoHubs benefit from reprogramming Allison shift points?

    Yeah, no doubt it's no super effective after the Eco hubs install, no fault of the hubs of course. The speed it will stay engaged to will depend on TC lockup, so my guess is the speed your exhaust brake is disengaging now is likely where the TC is unlocking.

    Would EcoHubs benefit from reprogramming Allison shift points?

    Doubt you’ll get that. For trans health, exhaust brake requires TC lockup.

    Would EcoHubs benefit from reprogramming Allison shift points?

    Allison can change the programing. I'm about to have some programing done to the TCM in my A1R. Happy to provide contact info for the Allison distributor/service center I'm dealing with. I'm in Norcal too and the Allison distributor I'm dealing with is in Hayward, so depending on where you are...

    Would EcoHubs benefit from reprogramming Allison shift points?

    It's a helper spring setup that augments the coil springs when the camper was on it. In my LMTV, I was thinking about only leaving the leaf springs that are captive in the mount and shackle, for obvious reasons, and then using King coilovers to gain back the load capacity to get a more compliant...

    Would EcoHubs benefit from reprogramming Allison shift points?

    Air bags are tough to do without seriously limiting suspension trave due to how quickly the spring rate increases as the bags are compressed, and the pretty limited travel between fully extended and fully compressed. I built a long travel airbag system for my ram that achieves full...

    Petlas 395-85 R20 tires

    I thought the Michelins were the tire everyone wants to avoid due to frequent blowouts? Is that a different Michelin?

    Just checked their site, looks like no 395's currently.

    Petlas 395-85 R20 tires

    You can get MPT81’s in 395/80 R20 new from expedition imports. Great tires in every respect accept tread life. Supposedly there is a new version coming with a new rubber compound that supposedly improves tread life by 30%.

    And stock size. I think the only way to get HCS's in this country is military surplus as they are used on some vehicles, so don't know if you could find these in stock size here. https://vrakking-tires.com/20-inch/167-39585r20-continental-hcs.html

    Petlas 395-85 R20 tires

    The tires I'm most interested in are the Continental HCS. Seems the folks running them on overland vehicles really like them. I personally have had really good luck with the Conti MPT 81's in 335/80 R20 on my Ram. I'm on my 4th set and haven't ever gotten an out of round tire. The HCS's are...

    Done. I thought since I shared it here, it would allow people accessing here to see it.

    Yes, I realized that when trying to attach it. Didn't really want to mess with that but did anyway. Even though it has been uploaded to youtube, when I try to insert the link it says I can't.

    Well, guess I can't attach a video.

    ECO Hubs Who needs 3:07 gears?

    Thanks, the noise may be the deciding factor for me. Tire noise really isn’t an issue with the stock MVT’s.
