A couple heavy boxes arrived in the mail today! Has anyone run Ecohubs with 14.00R20 tires and stock 3.90 gearing? Would that be too tall for the engine to cruise in the happy zone of the powerband at ~60 mph?

Thanks for all the info and advice! I'd love to have one of the full featured SWICE kits, but I think that will have to wait a bit. There's not much room left in the budget at the moment after Ecohubs, new tires, and tools are accounted for. I'll probably start with the Dearborn adapter + Cat...

Thanks for the info everyone. @GeneralDisorder, that kit sounds pretty skookum, it includes the latest manuals for the A1R trucks and everything required for the wireless connection to the truck? How user friendly is the diagnostics interface?

I'm looking to get Cat ET so that I can run diagnostics on my truck's C7 and adjust the speedometer calibration after I install Ecohubs. I see that there are multiple Cat ET kits for sale that come with the software, communication adapter, and various cables that can run anywhere from ~$150 up...

Wow, those cabinets turned out extremely nice!

Thanks GeneralDisorder, that will theoretically save ~200 to 300 gallons of diesel just on the trip home, they'll pay for themselves in no time.

Another new Alaska member here, I just bought a M1079 in Illinois that I plan to bring up here in June.

Neat truck, welcome!

These have been out a good while now and I have yet to see any negative reviews or major issues crop up. They're on my short list of "must have" upgrades to install before I drive my truck home and were a major factor that swayed me back into wanting a LMTV. What sort of long-term fuel...

Welcome to the site, that is a cool old truck!

Thanks for the welcomes and the good advice Mullaney.

I'm interested in one, were these confirmed to work with A1R trucks?

Does anyone have the width and length measurements between bolt holes for the cab seat mounts? My truck is currently 3600 miles away so I can't throw a tape measure on them myself. I'm looking into bolt-in seat upgrades for the long drive home when I pick it up in June. Picture of the mounts...

Hi all, I'm a longtime lurker on this forum and I finally pulled the trigger on my first MV, a 2008 M1079A1R. The truck is located in Illinois and I plan to drive it home to Alaska this summer after doing some maintenance and a few mods. Looking forward to being an active part of this awesome...

Thanks for this writeup! I just bought a M1079A1R and am looking into doing this upgrade. How did you end up mounting the MMDC?
