We're keeping our fingers crossed that we may have located the problem which we think is in the voltage regulator that sits on top of the big Alternator which is Niehoff 28V/260 A + 14V 140A. (Product Code for the alternator should be Niehoff’s N1224-1, NSN 2920015592715 Part number...

Interesting thought. Every vehicle I've ever owned that was more simple in design was a lot easier to diagnose and maintain. The more sophisticated the electronic systems the more susceptible they are to error. We will check out your suggestions...

Perfect, diagram most helpful...

Thanks for the quick response. We will check out some of what you mentioned and report back. I too think that there is something amiss with the wiring or...It's hard for me to believe that we have two bad load controllers.

A close friends Battery Load Controller went out on his 2008 1078A1 and it was replaced. At the time that it was acting up there was an intermittent "no charge" light going on and off. I think its purpose is to protect the batteries from over and under voltage. It is my understanding that...

Keith, I would be interested in the data from this experiment. If you compare the temps coming out of the vents from the two vehicles without the A/C on what do you get as a reading. Here's why I ask. If I turn on just the fan in my truck whether or not I have it set on recirculate or fresh air...

Oh that hurts because I know you would come to my aid. Truck not here, but I will crawl under it over the weekend and see if there is anything worth photographing without some surgery.

There is actually another bracket on the end of the frame rails. It is difficult if not impossible to photograph this without pulling off the big front plate. So those small "L" brackets actually attach to a much larger bracket that in turn attaches to the frame rails. Regardless, it would not...

The A/C was installed in the truck when I got it. So all I did was a bit of maintenance. She's working fine now.

I just purchased the repair parts for the pump yesterday from E&R Industrial Sales in Indianapolis. 317.228.0106. All I had to do was give them the part numbers posted above and they are being drop shipped from SPX. As background, I called SPX about a month ago asking about the parts. They...

Sent you a PM.

I haven't done it from scratch, however I don't think it would be too difficult to fabricate some brackets to hold it in that spot if that is your intention. I compared the size of my condenser's width to one that is being sold on eBay and the latter is only about 3/4" narrower. Being smaller...

You can see from this image what I am referring to if you compare it to the posted image on the thread. The brackets are different. This is my new fan unit and nice clean condenser.

I can now see from the photo that you posted that the brackets in that image are much different than what is on my truck.

There are really 2 "brackets", or more properly stated sets of brackets. There are 2 large brackets that attach to what I will simply call the front frame rails. These are heavy metal brackets. In addition, there are 4 separate "L" shaped brackets that attach to the front of the condenser's fan...
