    I'm guessing new brake chambers, or are these rebuildable?

    ECO Hubs Who needs 3:07 gears?

    A good friends recommendation. He used it on his axles for other vehicles and had good success. So I gave it a try. :). It’s expensive though.

    ECO Hubs Who needs 3:07 gears?

    Got after it this weekend. Did rear hub service and ECO hub install. Inner bearing service and seal, CTIS seals, and ECO hubs. I used anaerobic RTV instead of the specified grey... Things I learned today. - check the hard air lines on the hub. when i got my truck there were no ctis...

Brakes. - side project oil change...

    CTIS bench test harness

    Ron.. I know you've posted it before, and I see it in your youtube video.. Do you have the pic handy with the pin outs labeled? Search is eluding me.

    CTIS bench test harness

    great! thanks Lostchain. I know something is working, since i can hear the manifold 'burp' under the PDP when i turn the truck off... I hope to get the hubs swapped in the next few weeks and will use this post in my troubleshooting.

    CTIS bench test harness

    I haven’t got too far into my CTIS yet. But my controller just doesn’t have any lights at all. Considering my wheels don’t have any valves on them right now. And no plugs. It’s not a huge priority. I’ll be doing eco hubs, CTIS seals, and inner bearing seals in the coming weeks. Also got some...

    Eliminate the air/oil pump

    Hmm.. got me thinking a little bit.. I could use the spot where the manifold was previously housed. put a reservoir in its place and plumb into the pump. I'm going to look at the prince wolverine pump you have as well. Either way, i'm curious of anyone that used the same setup here has had...

    Eliminate the air/oil pump

    According to the power packer spec. 35 cubic inch capacity 0.249 cubic inch volume per stroke. I'm just duplicating Chad.. My suspicion is that what I bought might not be true Power Packer.. might be a quality issue is my hunch.

    Eliminate the air/oil pump

    Did that last night with the new pump. I had the cap loosely on. Came out of the back and the cap... https://share.icloud.com/photos/0ddg7te0Tfkxo62_l8GsZVzZg

    Eliminate the air/oil pump

    I've just deleted my air over hydraulic setup. I just went with the power packer hand pump that BrokeOverland spec'd in his video, and what I think some here have done as well. Plumbed directly to the cab lift cylinder. Things went pretty smoothly, until I lowered the cab. Flip the lever...

    OK Oklahoma Insurance -- State Farm Fail -- Hagerty for the Win

    I just tried Hagerty.. They won't insure my LMTV because it is not old enough... I have a 2007 model and they said it was too new... and told me to find someone else. :( Edit: I'm in TX, btw Trying State Farm now.

    Cab Latch / Latching plate

    I'll keep my eye on it.. got a lot of other things on the 'to-do' list for the truck... i am interested in your mounts though.. i'd much rather do the driver front cab mount once. :) Passenger side and cab latch mounts are easy

    Cab Latch / Latching plate

    they are NOS.. expiration date of 2019, but the rubber still feels good.. not squishy or gummy.

    Cab Latch / Latching plate

    Well.. Good news.. I already have two 5342-01-371-793 (part #7 above). These are on the shelf waiting to be installed in the front (both of the fronts are dust).
