I wired my backup and blind spot cameras to running light power so they don't work unless I turn on the parking lights or driving lights. Keeps me from driving away without any lights on.

On my truck the front parking lights only work if you select the Park mode. In service drive they are off and only function as turn signals. In park they illuminate as parking lights with the headlights off and blink brighter with the turn signals. I was under the impression this is how they are...

Two of the installs I have done (mine, and the 3.07 truck belonging to @ckouba) we have done full hub services including replacing the CTIS and wheel hub seals, repacking the inner bearings, and adjusting the bearing pre-load. On @Lostchain's truck we did only the ECO hubs but we did check the...

If the EGT's were higher with the ECO hubs that would manifest as more heat being dumped into the coolant and we would see the cooling system working harder. What we see with the ECO hubs is the cooling system working significantly less. My radiator fan rarely kicks on now. We also are seeing...

The axles still slide out the end of the hub. You just remove the cap and slide them out.

What is to misunderstand exactly? Do you understand the stock reduction hubs? They provide the 2:1 and in conjunction with the 3.90:1 ring and pinion used by all FMTV's this results in a final drive of 7.80:1,,,,, do you understand this? OK. The ECO hubs remove the 2:1 reductions so the final...

Wow. The "kit" from MRO was only $95 a year ago when I ordered one, Wild. Did the trick though for me.

The 3126b and the C7 are almost the same engine. They use essentially the same turbocharger (same size, etc) for both the 275 HP and 330 HP variants. Indeed even the 370 HP C7 used in the M-ATV is the same size - it just has a water cooled CHRA to prevent engine oil coking under extreme...

With computerized fuel injection the ECM is the gatekeeper to all potential upgrades. It regulates boost pressure and supplies the correct amount of fuel to go along with the additional air being delivered - and since these engines have no closed loop fuel control the engine computer has ZERO...

Is there something under your drain plug? My C7 I just stick a 5 gallon bucket under the drain plug and have a second one handy for when the first one is about 2/3 full..... 🤷‍♂️

Awesome! Glad you got it sorted. Now you know how easy it is too!

You should look through my 8 months of troubleshooting to find the source of a similar problem. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/2008-a1r-with-260a-charging-questions.206182/

That's nice and all. But wrong. The arm on the motor just swings around in a circle. It can't set any end limits. It just spins continuously or rotates one 360 and stops (in intermittent mode). Where it stops is where your wipers "park" or "pause" and that location is set by the orientation of...

Proud of the paint job too. $45k...... guess you are buying the paint job for $35k and getting a clapped A0 with over 13k on it rolling on Michelin maypops for $10k? I don't get it - John Deer doesn't make a single piece on these trucks. :shrugs:

That's a hidden wiper parking mechanism. Our trucks do not have a hidden (below the hood line) park position and don't have any of that mechanism. They simply stop or pause at their home position and all of that is internal to the transmission. The issue when they stop/pause in the wrong...

With the ECO hubs having a smaller oil capacity and since there's no gears to fling it around I filled mine to the 3 o-clock position (halfway). I don't want the bearing becoming uncovered during long drives at speed since that will cause the oil to collect in a ring around the circumference of...

Fill till it flows back out the fill hole and plug it with the truck on a level surface.

It's a good idea to replace or rebuild the compressor for sure. I can tell you that NAPA will not be able to get that compressor very quickly. It's an oddball and they will contact the supplier and they will find that it's "build to order" and you might be waiting a bit for one. You could pull...

My truck is a 2008 M1079A1R, C7 @ 370 HP / 931 TQ, stock 3.90:1 R&P's, 21k lbs.

Yes. My 1079 clocked 10.19 mpg over 118 miles with cruise control set to 55 mph.
