Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
funny you mention that... before I installed the Grigsby line and after I bead blasted the OEM, I fabbed up a support "bracket" template using thin bendable aluminum and thought hmmmmm?... the issue was no where in close proximity of the oil line to use as a mounting boss...If I kept the steel line I would support it back to the block in the middle of the loop.
The issue is the oem is like a ruler held on the edge of a table like a diving board. Twang it enough and it will fatigue and brake...
Dont have this issue with hose...
Is this an upgrade only recommended for the 3116 or is it also a good idea for the 3126?If I kept the steel line I would support it back to the block in the middle of the loop.

Doesn't apply to the 3126b or the C7. They are HEUI engines and the oil feed to the HEUI pump is a hose (also much longer) not steel tubing.Is this an upgrade only recommended for the 3116 or is it also a good idea for the 3126?
Yep, you could probably drill and tap a hole. It is not structural, it just needs to act as a strut and keep the line from oscilating...funny you mention that... before I installed the Grigsby line and after I bead blasted the OEM, I fabbed up a support "bracket" template using thin bendable aluminum and thought hmmmmm?... the issue was no where in close proximity of the oil line to use as a mounting boss...
From all the research I have done on this subject and I think I've just about read everything I could have found online anyway it is my understanding that all the A1 and up 5 tons have 330 horsepower though I could be mistaken.Edited to remove my first question…tapatalk app doesn’t display signatures and was curious which variant @serpico760 has but I see now.
Still curious if they all say 330 hp. Do all 5 ton models have the upgraded tune? (please excuse the sidebar question)

Is yours and M1078 or M1079? Mines an M1083.I have an A1 and it’s 295 HP, as I recall. Definitely not 330 HP.
I have a NOS 3116 Cat oil line sitting in my toolbox if someone is in need. Shoot me a PM.

Okay make sense I remember that all the 4x4s were under 300 horsepower, and the 6x6s were 330M1078A1 2003
