Hate to say it but instead of guessing you *could* build the interface cable, download the free software from Dana and know what the problem is *for sure*.
Do the A0 trucks have ABS? I have the Wabco software too - identified a dirty wheel speed sensor on a truck with it yesterday. Huge time...
Not a fix per-se, but I carry a stop leak product in my rigs just in case. In particular it's a product I've used with success on many occasions. I work on Subaru's quite a bit and they had a problem with some external head gasket seepage back in the early 2000's. This culminated in a service...
You will need it. And if you plan to air condition it.... well it's a challenge. With the truck in direct sun, both awnings deployed, and running two AC units (I have a 24v unit, and a 120v unit) I can keep the habitat around 72-74 with the outside ambient temps around 100 degrees. I can't...
I used 6 gallons for the inside of the M1079 van for the thermal coating. I didn't do the sound insulation - just thermal. 2 coats on the walls and ceiling. It comes in 2 gallon buckets.
I've installed on two trucks (both M1088's - one with a 17' habitat and one with a 24' habitat) with 3.07 gears and both owners are quite happy. You'll be fine.
Lizardskin is amazing and is actually a very well engineered product that is used heavily in commercial applications (fire trucks, ambulances, etc) and by the US Navy, etc. It's just the small motorsports division of Mascoat:

I used the Lizardskin thermal coating on the...
IDK - I hated working on HMMWV's in the Army. There's no access to anything, they stuffed the engine up under the firewall and they were unreliable shit heaps. Wouldn't own one except to resell it. The Amsoil filter is very large and I can't think of any space you could easily stuff it other...
I know what's up with his speedo - I forgot that he already had 3.07's that the speedo had never been corrected for and so when I took the PPM and divided it by two I didn't account for the 3.07 gears in addition to the 2:1 reduction delete. So I just need to make another small change to his PPM...
I started out with 32 ounces (1 quart). Didn't seem like it was enough so I added a second 32 ounces. So I've got 2 quarts in each tire. Antifreeze is 9.4 lbs per gallon so that works out to 4.7 lbs of anti-freeze. The CTIS valve and hoses and mounting plate is about 2.5 lbs - though at a...
I have it in my tires. It definitely helps. I do *smell* it when airing down so it's likely going to disappear over time. Not having any issues with the CTIS or seeing any liquid. I played in the sand at 20 psi on Saturday for over an hour and never had any problem. Aired up to x-country and...
Mine did not. Mine had halogen headlights but LED everything else. The halogen's were military bulbs so if they were swapped it was in service or someone wanted them for a different truck, etc.
That said - if it *did* have LED headlights from the factory they would be the old style one's with...
My friend with an M1078 w/winch and I went over the scales yesterday with our trucks and the hydraulic winch and all it's gear adds basically 1,000 lbs to his truck - which jives with the door placard information on weight. His 2003 M1078 w/winch was 18,500 lbs, while my 2008 M1079 is 21,000...
It's going to be an LBCD. The PPD went away long before 2007 - LBCD being introduced with the A1's right around 1999-2000. The LBCD was designed specifically because of the 100a alternator limitations. That's really it's only purpose - to protect that tiny alternator against the potential of the...
Not all of the early one's got it. I know Alex Wilson's truck doesn't have the 260a either. Down at my local reserve unit they are preparing to turn in three A1R's - all around 2005/2006 vintage and they all have 100's. All basic 1078 cargo's. One with winch - still has the 100a. My 2008 A1R has...

Buy tools on Amazon and send them ahead of you. That's what I did for my drive from Houston to Portland.
The disconnect switch in the cab is a double pole single throw switch. One side operates the remote...
