It's just a filter. Not that glorious or complicated. As I pointed out with the airflow - it's SIMPLY a matter of maintenance. Maintenance cost, maintenance interval, and maintenance ease. Those are all pretty easy things to visualize in your mind. Consider every option from each of those...

King will tell you they have no idea and that they will have to be custom made. A friend of mine has KING shocks on his M1088 and he also knows the owner who apparently arranged a team to custom build a set for him. Took them an entire day to manually machine all the required spacers and...

Probably be plenty of A1P2 chassis being scrapped and all the inventory being dumped due to the completely different A2 platform..... likely be plenty of em laying around for as long as you and I need em.

Do it. There's zero drawbacks.

No. Installed dry. Same with the head gasket.

Yep have to get 870 psi or no love making between ECM and injectors. Check the fuel delivery system. The lift pump on the back of the HEUI pump, the fuel hoses, the seals on the various filters, etc. Engine should start and run with the sensor unplugged or faulted out but will have no power -...

You just buy the whole kit. The leak at that gasket means you will also be replacing the unloader pistons, springs, and o-rings. You could make your own gasket with gasket paper, a ball-peen hammer and some assorted random ball bearings and replace the unloader piston o-rings with some from an...

Flow rate is hard to estimate as it gets into length of the hose, number and degree of bends in the hose, etc. Easier to just replace like for like and not have unintended consequences.

Well hookup a gauge and see if it unloads at 125. If not the governor is adjustable or should be..... They don't typically come out of adjustment though so it may be malfunctioning. They are like $20.

That looks right to me! Claims it fits the PURest.

Need the higher pressure secondary relief valve. That was a supercession on the Army side due to nuisance opening and weak springs over time. The 370 map exposes this problem in a hurry due to the open path between the intercooler pipe and the dryer when the unload pistons prop open the intake...

Right. The HEUI filter is a contingency. And good in case some small particulate makes it through. My point is that if enough shit got into it (talking many, many thousands of particulates) that servicing it became a necessity then the engine is already screwed and thus access to it (ever...

I'm convinced of the issue but not the need to flatten the cooler *in all cases* - there may be some extreme cases where replacement or machining could be warranted and I think CAT does publish a flatness spec...... I think primarily the issue was resolved with the new style metal embossed...

Hopefully it hits 62 mph (100 KPH is the magic target) like it's supposed to. That should be it's gear limit with the engine at redline. The A1 trucks usually have no issue hitting that due to their enhanced power and slightly higher redline.

I have seen the manual battery disconnect switches fail - had one fail on a fairly new HEMTT not long ago. Stumped the guys at the base - TM did not include voltage drop tests (basically never does) so the troubleshooting tree would have never got them there. Old school troubleshooting by...

You don't want to over-cool any of the fluids - around 212 degrees Freedom - hovering +/-10 degrees around that is generally ideal since that efficiently vaporizes moisture from condensation and any fuel that's entered the oil. The cooler you go the longer I takes to drive moisture and fuel out...

All degrees of preparedness. Block heat, battery heat, Webasto, etc - all require time. If my phone just alerted me that the local volcano is rumbling I'm not really inclined to sit around waiting for my block heater. And yeah Ether is the answer and I have that too but for the A1+ trucks the...

The 100A draw of the grid heater is a LOT for two batteries on top of the starter - especially flooded wet cell batteries which take a HARD hit in the cold. You flip that ignition switch and it's 20 degrees - that grid heater is going to do a MASSIVE burn on the batteries for 15+ seconds at 100A...

..... Yeah sorta. It's not actually a 100A alternator *at idle* though - it's like 60A. And if you have any additional battery banks like a house bank, etc. I'm running four Victron Orion chargers for up to 68A @ 24v going into my house bank. The 100A dims the lights at idle on a fully kitted...

Usually a drain will only affect either the 12v or the 24v bank and it's often the case that a truck which will not start can be started by swapping the inner and outer battery pairs. Protecting the 100A alternator.... For me that's easy. Throw it away - can't hurt itself or my batteries from...
