    Door Handle Lever Printed (LMTV)

    My truck came with 3d printed handles, broke the third time I used it. Truck latches also needed lube so there was extra stress. I replaced them with aluminum ones and lubed latches. I wouldn't use 3d printed parts for this situation. Considering potential high loads, it's not their ideal use...

    Got tired of my loose mirrors

    Wind was pushing them back, had to have my kids constantly fix them. Looked around the hose and found some scraps that I mounted with the unused screw holes on the doors. Clamps are just standard cable guides (silicone) and the other parts are aluminum pieces I had laying around from other...

    M1088 camper conversion

    Is the coolant recirculating in this overflow? With gas engine overflows it doesn't.

    2007 S&S A1R has 100amp alternator

    Seems this had to be a modification? Wiring diagram for A1R I don't see mention of a 100amp option, only the 260. It has all the other A1R stuff (grab handles, insulation, WTEC IV, etc).

    M1096 MTV, but should be the same for any of the MTVs I would think.

    Who's running dynamic tire balancing beads?

    Totally agree, although with CTIS that introduces air exchange.

    Bogie maintenance

    Can't find anything on here of the TMs about this (only the part breakdown) Seems to have a fill plug so I'm guessing oil filled till comes out the hole? Any other ideas?

    Who's running dynamic tire balancing beads?

    That introduces the variable of evaporation of the water though.

    Who's running dynamic tire balancing beads?

    I was looking into this a bit, ethelyene glycol is not a great choice as it's freezing point is relatively high (would freeze in my WI weather ). Propylene glycol has a much lower freeze point. Also it's non toxic.

    A1R Rear Cab Bushing Assembly

    Ahha! Now the other references about PPE, skull thickness make sense :LOL:. Glad he is okay though, squashed grape is no good. :)

    Found my wiring issue

    So I bought the truck and had some really strange wires going to the taillights, one for right turn, one for reverse. See the wire and black wires here: (also notice the black wire seems to be holding the trans cooler line :oops: The blue circle is where the trans line was rubbing on the bolt...

    ECO Hubs Who needs 3:07 gears?

    I've seen some info on how to program the CTIS on YouTube and that equipment and software seems fairly easy to source. For the CAT ECM reprogramming, can that be done without having a subscription? Programming cables available?

    Looks like Midwest military equipment painted it and is selling on their site for a nice chunk of change.
