Changing some tires, replaced the drag link. Got myself an air hammer and it's my new favorite tool, popped the drag link tapers right out! Next to try it on those large torque rods....

Have an A1R version (so the newest with the Cat C7). Considering picking up an MTVR in the future as I'm seeing quite a few popping up on Govplanet. Are there any key reliability issues with the MTVR? I'm liking they can go 65mph max versus the 58 of fmtvs (unless eco hubs added). Seems like a...

Regardless of the level of insulation, given enough time anything can get extremely hot. The more insulation the longer the process takes. I have a 9kbtu mini split and it easily(less than 20% duty cycle) keeps the 20ft shipping container comfy during 90 degree temps in full sun.

What are you talking about the rims are 20" and the tires are 20"? Just a tiny bit of rubbing.

Picked up some new shoes

I wonder how well it would circulate through the secondary cooler on my mtv. There is that piece people were thinking was a bypass. Guessing I should drain from the return before it goes back into the tranny.

I've heard people doing this and running till it sputters(runs out of fluid). Then refill and run till you see fresh, then fill to appropriate level.

Link to technique? Does that include shifting through gears? Better option than drain plugs?

$9703+122.5*$120/hr=$24,403 ($/hr estimated). Also you must have spent money on tools and the time to research all this. This hobby is very expensive. Also...final? Does that ever happen with these?

I'm away from my computer and truck, but if I remember right, those lines are vents, not diff locks? There is a 1/4 line to the power divider on the middle diff, not sure about the lock front to rear out of transfer case.

Been using the truck a ton, kids love to eat dinner in it and we've been taking it to a local campground a few days a week. Installed cedar on the sliding door area and found out how much I hate structural adhesives. Had to go back to tried and true screws. Also installed the video system. 4...

Look up eco hubs if you want highway use. Stock they are at redline at about 60mph.

You said back, but that's the middle differential. I haven't noticed a temp difference and have looked with a thermal camera. The middle differential does have some extra components and maybe it would be hotter if having to work harder to match the torque split (different tire inflation?)

Been using the truck a lot. Have a campground nearby and going for a lot of one night stays. Working on installing the camera system that records video(4x cameras). Installed cedar around the rear door, liking the water setup(27 gallon tank inside filled with Jerry cans - side compartment holds...

The eye-eye and stroke doesn't have to match. No reason a linkage couldn't be used and/or different eyelet locations.

While they are better in many ways, there are still very few that come up for sale. If you want a good quality m1079A1R, you're likely going to be waiting a while.

Not much to add, but I got 2 black controllers on eBay that were thrown away, no warranty, like $35 each. Both function perfectly fine. Sample size of 2.

I replaced my suction line and it wasn't anywhere near that. Something like 20 pumps.

With my manual setup, I removed the flow restriction orifice on the return side of the cab lift cylinder (non pressure side so safety spring balls still in place), that seems to have cured the issue with the overflowing of the reservoir as the cylinder can suck the fluid in easier. Before I did...

Turned out the power side was just fine it was the ground side that was the issue. The ground was good all the way up to the back prong of the outlet, somehow there was a break between the back prong and the outer barrel. Got lucky and just happened to have a panel power outlet that looks like...
