    Interior/Exterior Temp Gauge in Rocker Switch Profiile

    I'm looking for an interior / exterior temp gauge that would fit in one of the cut-outs for the rocker switches in the dashboard (44mm x 22mm). Anyone have any luck tracking something like that down. I bought one of these but it doesn't quite fit (too small). Any suggestions great appreciated.

    M1078a1 - Starter Flange Play

    I was doing a quick PM once over on my truck today and noticed a bit play - about 1/16" - between the starter and the starter flange (video below) - which means I'll need to pull the entire starter off to tighten the flange. I'm assuming there is no such thing as a "good amount" of play...

    I am about to embark on a series of cab upgrades on my M1078a1 (interior lights, exterior lights, cab audio, etc) and my plan is to add a secondary fuse block and run it all off of 24v. I’ve read through the multiple battery and alternator threads (which contain great information) but don’t...

    New Rig

    So I picked up a 2003 M1078a1 last week with 8,700 miles on it. What a learning experience this has been so far - all part of the journey. I picked it up late on a Friday in Idaho and drove it 500 miles overnight to California on what was a relatively uneventful drive. The prior owner...
