Yep got it. I'm pumping out in as we speak.

When you added the Lucas additive, how much did you add per axle?

Thanks! I would worry if the temps side to side were much different (sign of friction) but there is nothing in the manuals that say what they should be around temp wise.

Give me a call If you like. 619-952-4337 I'm finishing mine now in Ca.

I'm checking mine tonight!

I was out on a drive yesterday and I always feel my hubs to see if they are getting warm/hot to the touch. This time I took my temp gun, I shot temps on all 4 hubs, fronts run around 119 deg. the drivers rear was 150 and the passenger rear was 145 deg. Does this seem to be the normal temp that...

Welcome From San Diego.

I used a small for truck that I borrowed from my neighbor to lift the bed off. Gave it to him to make a trailer out of it. I built my camper box and did a storage location in the floor to put my rifles and stuff into. the door opens into the inside. I can't post pics as they are all on the cloud...

Your truck is looking just like mine. Painted mine white and black. They look very clean. Nice work.

I mounted a second tank behind the main tank. Bought a second 1078 tank and frame hangers. I mounted the hangers and then put the tank in place to check for clearance. I had to notch the tank to clear the rear leaf springs front hanger. I cut it out with a grinder and cut off wheel, then tig...

So for those of you who have done the MRAP gear swap, have you found any negative side effects yet? Examples, trans running hot, driveshaft issues, tire issues? I have many friends who are mog owners, I know I know apples and oranges, but they have hub issues after and trans overheating. Just...

Another note on the nylock nut from the manufacturer. Quote"Use the nylock nut that comes with the new compressor. We have found that even with thread locker and proper torque, the original style nut can still back off." end quote. So i did what they recommended.

The nylock nut makes no performance difference besides that it wont back off. My original compressor was a midland the they were bought out by another company (I don't remember the new company name off the top of my head). They send all the new compressors out with the nylock as they know it is...

No you cant just see the nut. It is under the front engine cover. You would have to take that off or remove the power steering pump and air compressor from the mount to check it. Sandcobra164 said that this is something he has seen before. However, if your compressor is making air pressure i...

I contacted SPX and i believe they said they don't have a total kit for it. Because it was a special sized piston kit for this truck use. So they don't have a one source kit available. but can buy it piece by piece. I need to get back on mine soon. The camper build is taking my time right now. I...

I haven't dug back into mine yet. Been busy building my camper box for the truck.

I put them back where they were prior. But they could have been on wrong from before I got it (since it never worked).

Also, Here is a drawing from SPX and progress on my truck.

Actually, going back up to the pics above of the U-cup. The side of the seal that you see is what goes into the bore first.

As per the drawings and talking to SPX, who by the way are great. The way it goes in is opposite the way that it seems it would. Basically the lip and goes into the housing first and you have to use a small screw driver to gently work the lip down into the bore. If you put it in backwards, it...
