    CV BOOTS!

    Hi all I’m assuming this is ok to post. There have been a few post here from people looking for MTVR CV boots. I was one of them. Ended up buying a whole front axle. Someone has had the tenacity to get a run of these manufactured by the original supplier. At least he told me that. I ordered a...

    Friggin start box light

    Hi all, I’ve got an ‘86. 6.2 etc. I’ve had my KDS box blow a component twice now over the years. Think it’s a power transistor but it’s been a while. Fixed it and it works. I didn’t want to get stuck somewhere so I did the parallel harness for the glow plugs and left original tied in...

    What is this?

    Just realized it’s tough to see the smaller right side hose. Kinda goes up and off to the right at an angle. So left solenoid fan, right air horn.

    7-ton MTVR steering gear box leaking

    Was thinking maybe mrap vehicles? I called and spoke with Chris at OES. He said he’d sold them to others for MTVR. Maybe he was mistaken. I think someone posted them as “MTVR”, others saw this and had those boxes and just followed.

    7-ton MTVR steering gear box leaking

    I finally got mine out. Seals in. Shaft cleaned up and back in. Big job. Learned a few things which others might find helpful. There are several boxes out there being sold as for MTVR which are not. First clue is overall length and missing 2 additional bolt mounts on top of box. There are the...
