Thanks for 100+ subscribers! General winch update and current status of the truck as of May 2020

[@rickeyburke2596]

Love that truck.

[@mtvrchannel3051]

Thanks

[@micahadams2]

Trucks looking good!

[@mtvrchannel3051]

Micah Adams thanks buddy, I think we need to do a collaboration here soon!

[@espeescotty]

What a nice toy...I'm jealous! And according to your channel as of 3:00pm Pacific time, looks like I'm going to be your 500th subscriber. Woohoo!

[@mtvrchannel3051]

Come by for a ride! Thank you, it’s crazy fast it’s grown

[@espeescotty]

That would be sweet to go for a ride in that brute. About 2006 I had a big thrill just to be able to sit in an all tan Navy MTVR at the Blue Angels air show at MCAS Miramar. And good for you on the rapid growth on your challenge. You know your stuff and that appeals to many viewers and those seeking help. Grow baby grow! 😁👍 Thanks

[@jasoncouch2480]

Glad your doing a great job on your video work, but we have x4 of these winches on Unimogs that weigh in at average of 12,000 ish and this winch will barely pull out one of these trucks when kind of buried. We did x2 hydraulic 30,000lb Warn unit’s, one front 2nd midship for rear on our MTVR build Great ac tech, thank you!

[@mtvrchannel3051]

Jason Couch good info! I’m going to be using a bunch of snatch blocks and nearly 4000 CCA to back it up hopefully it’ll be efficient

[@johnsolan3007]

I’ve always been a fan of the 5 ton, and still am. But the 7 ton is now on my #1 list. More advanced and modern. Thanks

[@mtvrchannel3051]

The older trucks hold a special place in my heart but I do enjoy the modern convenience

[@marioferreira6899]

You should check the cab shock absorber bushings, looks like they're gone. At least one on the left side... Great job, truck is looking good! 👌

[@mtvrchannel3051]

Mario Ferreira they literally fell apart and I’m looking for poly replacements

[@kelly00000111111]

New subscriber here, thanks for providing some good content on these Oshkosh trucks. Surprisingly hard to find good videos on these things, and what I’ve seen so far has been very informative. Do you have plans on converting to rear wheel steer at some point or are you happy with how it maneuvers as it sits?

[@mtvrchannel3051]

Thanks! And I’m actually pretty well pleased at how well it maneuvers and probably will not convert anytime soon

[@ryanrosenberg1898]

Great video! Thank you. I noticed you upgraded your headlights. What are they?

[@mtvrchannel3051]

Ryan Rosenberg Thank you! JW speaker headlights

[@samueljohnson4626]

nice I want a seherpa winch for my truck (M934A2) did you wire right on to the batteries? I was wondering what the duty cycle would be like seeing as for my uses its mainly a self recovery option as I take this truck out more.

[@mtvrchannel3051]

Samuel Johnson we are talking nearly 30 seconds on and 10 minutes off for a duty cycle, it’ll go longer but you may burn it up. I wired straight to the batteries with 4/0 and going to now update and add a cutoff switch for it

[@kdmtrap7268]

Lol, we use those quick connectors on 8 thousand pound rated forklifts, nice though man, slowly been convincing the old lady to get a MTVR. Any tips on finding a good one?

[@mtvrchannel3051]

KDM TRAP it’s hit or miss really

[@EdisnFox]

$40 for 2 tires & rims, what a steal.

[@jacewitcher1046]

Got a question for you since you have had the mtvr for a few years now. I have a customer with several of these trucks now, but having issue finding parts that are specific to these trucks. Where are you going or contacting about parts specific to the mtvrs, my search online hasn't been great?

[@mtvrchannel3051]

Sadly it’s a challenge we all face, google searching and contacting Oshkosh direct is the key

[@jacewitcher1046]

@@mtvrchannel3051 do you just call Oshkosh direct or do you have a dealer local to where you are that you have dealt with?

[@mtvrchannel3051]

@@jacewitcher1046 i call them direct usually, it’s been a few months since i reached out to them

[@dylansadventures4696]

Where do you do your off-roading?

[@mtvrchannel3051]

Dman473 Durhamtown is about the best around for a truck this size

[@JTNiebrugg]

If you don’t mind me asking, how much did you give for MTVR?

[@mtvrchannel3051]

Jeremy Niebrugge a lot more than I wanted to! Let’s just say if I sold it I’d have to have north of 30k out of it

[@JTNiebrugg]

MTVRchannel thank you

[@glenncourtney4876]

Does your cooling fan run with the pressure switch unplugged?

[@mtvrchannel3051]

Glenn Courtney if I activate “A/C pressure switch input” on CAT ET then yes, it’ll run 24/7

[@glenncourtney4876]

@@mtvrchannel3051 But the cooling fan won't come on when A/C pressure switch is plugged in and no CAT ET?

[@mtvrchannel3051]

Glenn Courtney when the ac input is disabled (factory setting on my truck before installing kit) fan never runs and will allow the entire refrigerant charge to blow out the pressure relief safety

[@glenncourtney4876]

@@mtvrchannel3051 Do you have an ECM pin out diagram? If not get one and make sure the input from the pressure switch is actually going to the correct pin on the ECM plug.

[@simonburnby1997]

That plug will only be rated to 350 amp . And have burnt one out on a 12 thousand pound winch that stalled out

[@AmericanelST205]

$$$ about truck?

[@HarrisonWoodruffVlogs]

If you’re from GA we should get together and collab on something!

[@mtvrchannel3051]

I think we can arrange that

[@HarrisonWoodruffVlogs]

MTVRchannel have you had any air line problems yet with your mk23?

[@HarrisonWoodruffVlogs]

MTVRchannel also do you have an Instagram?

[@mtvrchannel3051]

Harrison Woodruff Vlogs what’s yours? I’ll add you

[@mtvrchannel3051]

I have not! It’s been solid in that aspect

[@mtvrchannel3051]

Thanks!

[@sandpirateskn]

AC Cooling and rad fan . Could you just add an electric fan in front of the Condenser coil. and have the Binary run the elect fan. It would reduce the engine fan from robbing power and could be quieter

[@mtvrchannel3051]

sandpirateskn unfortunately no, the clearance between hood and condenser is about half an inch, in fact a space plate is installed on the grill to allow it to stay far enough away

[@sandpirateskn]

@@mtvrchannel3051 One of your videos you were selling a winch, Do you still have it? I'm looking to install one on my M35A2. P.S. Still working on the MK23 TM's for you

[@mtvrchannel3051]

sandpirateskn I actually sold it a couple month back, and thank you! I have an entire m35a2 winch kit minus the bumper, and some bolts

[@sandpirateskn]

@@mtvrchannel3051 How much are you looking to get out of your winch? I just watched your Video M35A2 Air + Oil filter Upgrades & Driving. I'm new to this youtube thing. Where do I find the descriptions you add so I can get the air filter and spin on oil filter kit you recommend.

[@sandpirateskn]

@@mtvrchannel3051 I still want your MK23 for an Expeditionary Vehicle build I want to do. My M35A2 is a 1967, Upgraded to the MRAP wheels and tires, Disk breaks on the rear. New fuel filter spin on kit, Power steering ( custom ) Heater box relocated inside. I have a list of service and upgrades to do when I get back from Deployment, Water pump first thing. Thanks
