My old 3116 truck had 230hp and got 7mpg. It SUCKED just going over the causeway bridge here to the beach (it would drop to 45mph on the slight incline). My M1079 w/C7 has 330hp and gets 5mpg (but it's a heavier truck). It does 58mph w/o slowing while going up anything I've driven across three...

Yeah, I suspect that it might not function w/o batteries but don't know for sure. I know that if any DC power is applied, it automatically begins to charge. So there might be some sort of requirement to complete the circuit. The good news is that the batteries can be had from Amazon for...

I know the unit will run on 120v with dead batteries but not sure about no batteries. Be damned sure you tape off the battery leads so they don't short (because it should in theory go right into charge mode and there's metal bits that hold the batteries that could arc out. Do you not have the...

Battery powers the motherboard basically. It would go in the slot top/left of you image there. You should see two tabs it sits between. Rechargeable and can get replacement on Amazon for cheap. I don't recognize that panel...

So I took the dog to the beach today for a swim (it's been hot as hell, damned climate change ie: summer). I was down a few miles from the crowds with nobody around for a quarter mile either direction. The dog is mostly oblivious to birds 90% of the time but oddly she will track aircraft (and...

Also, is it the right controller for the truck variant? Because A0 controllers don't work in an A1R, etc, etc, etc

Well I've not rebuilt one before, but the "hissing" is almost certainly air. It could be a hole in the hose, a crack in a fitting, etc. Yeah, you need somoni to activate the pump while you get in there with a spray bottle of soapy water I'd think. On the bright side, it's not a M1079 with a...

In Texas, amber is not an issue as long as non alternately flashing I think. Red, white, or blue ARE an issue for most civilian vics. Unless you fit into the emergency vehicle category, school bus, or commercial tow truck you can and will be ticketed for certain colors in Texas. They don't...

Easy way to tell is to look for the ones with a dozen or so strobe modes. In fact you can incorporate various strobe modes into the mix with the right switch or controller.

Here's the pinout I'm not sure exactly how a 24v NATO connect would be hooked up but the unit supposedly can run on 12v/24v/120v/solar *I'm no electrical engineer so excuse the crude drawing

The OP hitch is an surplus OEM addon kit. Pretty rare find these days but could be fabbed up with the right shop. You would have a bit of leeway with the design, really (as long as the pintle holes all lined up with the frame) . If I were making one for a truck, I'd go the extra mile and have...

I'll double check tomorrow to be sure but: The power cord connection is the same for the MRE heater. I made up my own using a set of alligator clips to connect to my truck battery, some 2 strand wire, and one of these. *it only uses two wires if I recall (I'll have to confirm the pin out)...

Someone could sell a ^%&*-ton of rings by designing and printing a ring faceplate that would allow a standard round LED light (amber or red) to be mounted into the OEM brake/turn signal housing pods (front or rear). Instead of people having to pay $175-$300 PER LIGHT to a surplus scalper, you...

I've always run the Chinese ones as chase strobes on the rear of my pre-runners and sand rails. I've installed white ones on two of my LMTVs as backup strobes (as well as b/u alarm and a white flood). Never had one fail, actually. Not any cheaper that the Grotes posted above, though. Be sure...

Hey, you wear what makes you feel pretty. We won't judge....

I've seen plenty of missing/loose/sheered flywheel bolts discussed in LMTV thread over the years. Never heard of one that was completely freewheeling but I suppose that could happen? There's a small inspection port that you can access the bolts. I've never popped one open but I should...

They have a little centrifugal force lock (that is quite simple). This shows the basic idea. They typically get stuck when debris/foreign matter gum up the ball bearing.

A couple other projects came up and for some totally unexplainable reason, everything started getting more, and more, and more, and more expensive since the 2020 election but I just can't quite put my finer on who exactly is causing it. ;p I did get the last of my water fittings in last week...
