A few hours with a cutoff wheel, reciprocating saw and a welder and you can convert a rear turret support from a left to right hand one.

I did see this in another forum talking about the 173-11: " The ECM calculates the engine exhaust gas temperature, by using the readings of the Inlet Manifold Temperature Sensor and the Atmospheric Pressure Sensor (along with a rpm factor). When the calculated engine exhaust gas temperature...

102-7, this is a very common issue when the linkage on the wastegate actuator is sticky. I had this and lubricated it with some white lithium grease I had on hand. Haven't had any issues since. Moving the actuator manually you could really feel the resistance and how much better it was with the...

Got the ladder installed...probably the easiest install anything will be on this thing. Picked up turret arms for $1100 shipped. The rear two are the same side so I'll flip the brackets over as needed. I may be modifying the top of the arms for my needs.

Have had some exceptionally cold weather today. Made for a good test of the mini-splits heating. It is constantly maintaining 50F in the truck to prevent any water freezing. It maxed at -16F today and the Fujitsu Mini split (9kbtu) had no issues maintaining the 50F. I did get the low temp...

Very true. It would have to be much more robust of a structure, or do some kind of support leg set up. I'd like to avoid that though.

Playing around some more with habitat configurations. 2300 ft^3 with a rear sliding expansion. It doesn't look as cool as the side expanding ones but does have a lot of advantages...1. One sliding portion instead of 2 2. The side walls encroach on the walking area when retracted. 3. often side...

I forget the modified numbers as the curb weight is calculated with people, weapons. So looks like my mk23 should be about 26800lbs. (1200lb weight difference with the winch) wanna drag race....power to weight ratio :)

I did, it's in the zip file a few posts up. I just copied the screenshots so people without cat et could easily see

ECM configuration

Not sure how helpful it will be - maybe if someone needs to program an ECM after a failure.

Sorry you weren't able to unload! No idea why it wouldn't roll with air applied to the red front gladhand....that will release the brakes. (Although won't be controlled). Not sure why the fittings for the tank fittings didn't work, look like the very standard 1/4 NPT size I did see a recent...

Was doing a little investigation and found out when my truck had its ECM replaced, it got the new flash file that avoids the issue of loosing configuration settings when the internal battery dies. Also seems like I got the "armored" calibration....whatever that means.

Shh....I'm already teasing the wife showing her pictures of the LVSRs going to auction.

A few weeks ago, I got a truck for the next build. Had a good time with the FMTV, figured I'd make another camper conversion, this time at a slower pace. It's a MTVR, mk23. Cat C12, 28klbs unloaded, 30klb payload, 6x6 with differential lockers, independent suspension, 16r20 tires, CTIS, 14ft...

Took a little weekend trip to a nearby RV park. Only one other person there. Lots of trails and areas to explore. Shoveled off the pond to make the kids a hocky rink - they spent hours out there. Truck did great, I did plug in to 120V as the wife likes the relaxation of not having to worry...

Almost positive the 6x6 has the 4 actuator version too, unfortunately.

Nice! First thing I noticed in the snow compared to the MTV is the ATC. MTV doesn't have it so I have to lock differentials. MTVR detected the spin and clamped the brake on that wheel (or axle) and pulled though with no intervention. How available are the front and rear turret legs?

Well, I apparently fixed the corrosion issue on the relay. Ether system functional again.

My ether system wasn't working, talked to the very helpful people at kbi and ordered a new system. My solenoid was stuck and had no movement when voltage was applied. I had the same issue on my FMTV. The relay was also in bad shape so got a new one. New parts arrived but didn't see the ether...
