Where did you get your replacement valves from?

If you want a thorough education on Expedition Vehicles, look to the Russians. View all of the videos on them on Youtube "Siberia Arctic Expedition 2015" These guys are amazing, They use MAN trucks. In Siberia the weather is torture. Watch them rebuild a compressor on the fly. There is no...

I have been reading through this thread. I think the LMTV is for a very handy and patient owner. Everything rubber and plastic is going to fail. These are maintenance intense vehicles. That being said, it won't kill you nor typically kill your bank account if you stay right on top of the...

Maybe you should check out "Two if By Land" website. They are having a blast going all over the country in their LMTV.

Pointers: 1. Check your bank balance 2. Check your towing insurance 3. Alert closest SS buddies to the fact that you may need a pull :tank::tank: 4. Air up the spare 5. Get a winch, even if it's the HF 18,000 lb one 6. Bring h2o to rinse off muddy parts 7. Check the depth of what you are about...

Just a side note to this thread. The air shocks will lose some air when they are operating normally. It is not an air tight fit. I noticed that the first shock I opened up had anti-seize applied to the base of the metal collar on the bag and the bottom of the shock. This might increase the...

I will get some more picts of the build this weekend : )

Thanks. I'm not sure about the winch control panel. It was there when I got it, but there is no winch. Not for long, anyway lol

My engine is stock. I think that it is particularly important to watch the temps on a 290 hp 3116 or a 3126 at max hp. There is a somewhat linear relationship between boost and EGT's, from what I have seen. The temp may not go down for 3-5 seconds of backing off the throttle. I am still...

Maybe 2-4 qts. Watch the Adept Ape on Youtube do this service. You will get an idea of how much. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_5PbOg9x4qo

Looks great! I think the air ride and fan clutch are connected.

Hi Guys!Adding new turbo boost gauge. It's a long run to the dash, so I bought another Bosch connection kit and daisy chained them together. $26 for gauge and about $10 for the extension.

The 3116 and 3126 are good engines, but they do not have the water cooled cylinder sleeves. Therefore, they are less forgiving of intense exhaust heat which could easily lead to a dropped valve, melted pistons, etc., which leads to a catastrophic engine failure.

How to check your air suspension. If your air suspension is working correctly, it should do this: https://youtu.be/jT_o52q0or0

Avoid silent death-How to add an EGT gauge with a PID Here is an inexpensive way to add an EGT exhaust gas temperature gauge. I will be increasing the accuracy of this unit by adding a cold junction compensation mechanism. This particular unit I already had and it reads in Celsius. You will...

For the u joints. Others are larger.

Oops, I stand corrected.

I like the ones that don't blow out, even if the date codes are old : )
