    2006 M1083A1 6x6 Start up problems.

    Thats why you throw heat at cold, not amp hours… for below zero, diesel coolant heater/arctic kit, and 2 batts would start it just fine… Or just use the russian method and start a fire under the engine:)

    allison trouble shooting code questions

    Yea, each D memory location should have two sets of numbers associated with it, IE 22-14. Was the mode light lit with any code(active fault)? To clear codes, Press and hold the mode button. You will hear a beep at 3 seconds(clears current faults), and again at 10 seconds(clears all stored...

    Question about cab tilt.

    Hence the caution to not park uphill when raising the cab. This truck has no mechanical uplock, only the hydraulic controls hold it in place On level ground it goes past the balance point when fully raised, but only by a little. If you set the hydraulic controls to the lower position, you...

    Alternator voltage fluctuation on M1088A1

    What is the voltage reading at the front screw terminal on the voltage regulator? The battery is the main stbilizer of the alternator output. The two work as a team. In order to work in this capacity, it must have a good connection. I would start by stripping every connection between alt and...

    2006 M1083A1 6x6 Start up problems.

    If you haven't already done so, Now is an excellent time to drop to 2 batts... 2 is more than enough for the truck, and unless you drive it daily, 2 batts will get a better chance to reach full charge when you do drive it...

    Question about cab tilt.

    how much sidehill? How are your cab bushings? A little sidehill should be OK. if you lift it and the cab latch wants to mis-align, your front bushings are probably shot. in the end, the rear mount is flexible being on air shocks, if it can handle the side loads while driving, it should be...

    M1079 Rear Stairs

    Yea the shipping numbers for larger items are crazy. I have a snorkel assembly to sell and shipping is horrendous. Its actually cheaper to send it as 2 pieces/packages...

    Anyone have picture of properly mounted air brake load sensor valve on an m1088?

    Well I don’t have any 1088 info available, but this video shows it on a 1079. When mounted, the end of the lever arm on the load sensing proportioner should be directly above the bracket that the cable attaches to…

    Does the PPD do more than reverse polarity protect ? Modern replacement for PPD ?

    Thems fuses and holders cost good money boy…:)

    2006 M1083A1 6x6 Start up problems.

    The usual area for a bad connection is at the polarity protection device/LBCD where the cab, battery and alt cables all meet, out in the weather…

    2006 M1083A1 6x6 Start up problems.

    Flashing and clicking is a classic bad/high resistance connection symptom. Resistance resists current flow not voltage, so like a kink in a hose, you can have full voltage/ pressure everywhere in a circuit untill you try and pull current thru that resistance. Then the lower current flow causes...

    Nope, never went past 1750…

    ECO Hubs Who needs 3:07 gears?

    And of course this discussion reminded me i did replace the flywheel sensor and I do have a frequency counter… freq in HZ X 60 = cycles per minute / 133 teeth = revolutions per min… I ran 5 stall tests, 2nd gear in mode, full pedal and allowed about 5 seconds for the RPM to stabilize after...

    ECO Hubs Who needs 3:07 gears?

    Yep, ideally, should be in the peak range for installation behind a diesel, which would be ~13-15 hundred RPM? The only spec I have found for our TC part number found in the -24P manual is from Xcalibur, and they refer to that P/N as a TC-418 with a 1.98:1 conversion ratio at stall. TC-418 is...

    ECO Hubs Who needs 3:07 gears?

    Ideally it should stall very near peak torque on the engine.

    ECO Hubs Who needs 3:07 gears?

    I think it may reset them, it typically locks you in the current gear until you cycle the power, but I thought it held the ratio error. Are you sure you were not spinning a tire?

    ECO Hubs Who needs 3:07 gears?

    Yes. you have input/engine RPM pulses, turbine RPM pulses and output/speed RPM pulses. Turbine and output should be locked together with gears and clutches, so any slipping in the trans would allow turbine to rotate and provide a signal, but with the truck stationary you would produce no...

    Any TCU codes?

    No, the army probably did that…
