    Nice, thank you! Probably should have looked there first.

    Mastercraft seat NSN numbers for driver+passenger

    I wouldn't mind changing out mine for some of those 5 point belt style, see some seats on govplanet lately. This is the style, but these look like the middle seat.

    Axle (s) rebuild thread, gears and lockers

    Haha, damn, well that could do it! Any damage to the hub surface? It's not smooth and hardened like the thrust race.

    Axle (s) rebuild thread, gears and lockers

    Not sure the detailed function of the power divider, I can tell you that I can lift just one intermediate or rear tire and with brake off they will free spin (and spin the driveshaft). I don't have lockers though

    Axle (s) rebuild thread, gears and lockers

    I swapped my vent and supply CTIS stuff for polyurethane tube and push connect fittings. Much easier to replace if issues arise in the future. Note that the adapters on the frame bulkhead seem to have some kind of thread lock on them so kind of a pain.

    Towing a dead M1083 with M1079

    So I have more info on mine...when cold (32 deg today, idled for 15 min before driving off) and I had pretty significant drag. In neutral it would stop the truck on my driveway hill. Feels a lot like brake drag, however after a drive, all brakes were within a few degrees. I did notice I needed...

    370hp? Don't mind if I do!

    Found a spare, unused ECM. Got it reprogrammed for 370 horsepower. Going to keep my original one stock horsepower and use it as a spare I think. Wasn't the easiest process but eventually got it done. Haven't tested it in the truck yet.

    M1088 camper conversion

    Haven't looked at all the TMs but the one I saw literally just said pump primer until it firms up and this will bleed the air out.

    Watch out on asphalt with this style, the sharp legs can sink in.

    Swapping 100 amp alternator to 260 amp on a C7

    Thanks! I do have the coilovers shocks as I have the C7/A1R so that's one thing taken care of.

    Mine are turning a reddish brown since I've been working on other projects so I'm not the one to ask!

    ECO Hubs Who needs 3:07 gears?

    If you are anywhere north, I'd recommend painting them soon, steel likes to rust!

    Swapping 100 amp alternator to 260 amp on a C7

    Looked around a bit but seeing so much different info and a lot of it is for prior than A1R trucks. Best I can tell, I only need the alternator for the upgrade as I have the single belt, supposedly correct alternator bracket? Plan is to power a mini split and use for both cab and habitat...

    Axle (s) rebuild thread, gears and lockers

    All depends on the quality of your jack stands. I haven't found it to vibrate excessively that I can't have it on a jack stand while running.

    GARAGE DOOR CLEARANCE

    Now that's cool. My kids would love that (I mean I'd play with it too). Guessing these are not an easy find?

    Axle (s) rebuild thread, gears and lockers

    Correct, and with the lockers, if they default to locked, I would remove them from the equation by lifting up both intermediate axel tires if you have to. However if they are unlocked and you lift both tires, one will sping forward and the other back while the driveshaft doesn't spin (depending...

    Axle (s) rebuild thread, gears and lockers

    Jack up one intermediate tire off the ground and it should spin freely, engage the lock and it should not.

    CTIS 5 flashing lights

    I just put in half the pulse count, same with the cat ECM. Cat ECM controls speed readout, CTIS just for the alerts of pressure overspend so no critical at all

    From fire truck to MTV

    That's an interesting idea! I haven't ordered the major materials yet so I'll give it some thought.
