Pulled the injectors on this C7 which wasn't nearly as bad as CAT tech videos suggested. I'm taking the injectors to get tested while they're out and yes they're numbered too. I did a ton of research on penetrating fluids and for this unseizing job liquid wrench was the pack leader. Acetone/ATF...

I've got a good windshield from a truck I just parted out if they can't help you/out of budget.

I'm game.

When I took my 3126 ECM in to CAT a year ago we walked through the settings. There's a field for the gear ratio that will change the speedometer. I'm setting up a CAT ET laptop to play with these things instead of paying for a tech's time. I bet there's more we can play with in there.

That's what the rear 5' are for. On the plus side it has the extendable pintle.

After the power pack is pulled, axles removed, and the rear 5' of frame & pintle are removed for a fellow SS'er it will basically be nothing and a crushed cab. :grd:

I'm about done stripping this M1078A1 down for parts. She suffered heavy damage to the cab while in service and was slowly picked for parts while in DRMO. At the end of the day I'll have a nice low mile C7 engine, full harnesses, etc as spares. I may make this my test engine for running higher...

Where was this one taken?

They look to be .pdf files instead of .jpg or other photo types is why.

Sounds like you're getting near finished with this one. I recommend that one next. ;)

This is correct. You can change the ratio via the ECM to make it read right.

Scrap and work your way from there. Knowing she was a logging truck is one big strike against it in my book.

Just picked up a set for $2500. You have check FB or network in the hobby. They're out there. Update on performance: I took the truck out today with the M989A1 and a load of scrap. I grossed 39,080 lbs all in all. She handled well for the load and was rolling along around 45 mph...

I've got glass but no gaskets, I'm looking for those as well.

I just put a gear set into a truck with 330 hp (C7 engine) and it absolutely flies through all gears uphill, against the wind, etc. What I've read is that 225 hp should be fine but in my opinion the extra 105 hp helps more on the top end. If you can modify your engine to make 290 hp (turbo...

Parted out an M1078 this past week that saw better days, trying to use every part of the buffalo if I can. The M1079 box is finally getting a semi-permanent base so I can actually use it and will start piling up all the scrap into the M989A1. I'll be using the regeared M1078A1 to pull the M989A1...

It looks good but why didn't you start with an M1088 or M1083? :shrugs: That's what you ended up with..a M1088 with an LMTV bed just for more money/work. There's not many M1086 trucks out there and plenty of the others.

You wont regret it. Also it should make you feel better knowing all the insides are serviced and good to go.

Took this M1078A1 out for a spin with the 3.07 "high speed" gears. Top speed was limited to traffic at 69 mph. It really brings it to life!

You're loosing fuel prime/getting air in the system .You say fuel filter but which one? The smaller one on the block or large canister style filter next to the frame? The larger one is your primary and can be tricky to seal. Check the large o-ring on the canister lip to make sure it's sealing...
