    CTIS PCU Deflate Solenoid - Connector Unplugged; faulty wiring or solenoid

    Nope. You just need new wheel valve diaphragms. That's what they do when they get old and hard. They get progressively worse at holding pressure and the controller will keep trying - it will fault out after 10 tries. It's inflating but the wheel valves don't hold pressure so when it waits one...

    Would EcoHubs benefit from reprogramming Allison shift points?

    Being you have a 3116 truck - have you gone through the TPS adjustment procedure? And as for revving it - with ECO hubs and the small engine..... That may be what you need to do.

    Alternator Suggestions?

    LZ dropped the interior wall temps in my 1079 van by 20 degrees F before/after and that's testing it in 90+ degree temps heat soaking in the sun all day. That stuff WORKS. And the sound deadening adds mass which stops sound propagation by making the surfaces harder to accelerate.

    I took a video of mine and the file was corrupted. Have to try again. Don't use my go-pro that often.

    Alternator Suggestions?

    Forget all that. Just use the two Lizard Skin products for insulation and sound. Spray on. Done. All that other stuff will take 10x the labor and won't work any better. Probably won't work as well since a spray can get in places like up against seams and corners and through holes in the...

    Alternator Suggestions?

    The Vee belts used on the older trucks are "A" series belts. A: 1/2" B: 21/32" C: 7/8" They are probably worn and narrower than 1/2"

    Alternator Suggestions?

    It still won't be powerful enough. The factory unit is 30k BTU for good reason. Smart people are great at justifying dumb things they spent money and time on and that they have no good real world performance comparison for. Usually they just assume that's as good as it gets and it's a coupe...

    Alternator Suggestions?

    I have yet to pay more than $650 for a Niehoff of any size. It's all about the surplus, the search, the legwork, the contacts, and horse trading. And in any case as I pointed out you can complete the mission without the thing - redundancy is key. There's plenty of time to find a replacement when...

    Alternator Suggestions?

    There's no wiring changes AT ALL for the 260A. The chassis hookups are just the ring terminals on the case and the ring terminals for the VR studs which are the same. One is the E terminal that turns the alternator on, and the other is the AC terminal that runs to the LBCD. None of the cannon...

    Alternator Suggestions?

    Stick with the 260. What year is your truck? The 260 requires the older trucks to change the mounting of the shock as they have the mounting slung a little farther out. If you cut the huck bolts and make two copies of the spacer plate behind the shock mount out of 1/2" plate you can bolt the...

    Would EcoHubs benefit from reprogramming Allison shift points?

    The WTEC-II and III were both used by the A0 trucks with the 3116 and the TCM is the same between all WTEC-III trucks so the programming for the II and the III likely has the shift points setup for a lower power/torque engine with less displacement as the HP and torque curves are different...

    Need a Guiding Light

    Yeah wouldn't be hard to make one from ASA with brass threaded hot-melt inserts for the lid and bolt down holes.

    Need a Guiding Light

    Yep. Same part number. DP is just drop shipping from their SPX dealer. Anyone with an account can do the same and may be cheaper like the link I posted above.

    It's aluminum. I don't think they make the plastic one anymore.

    Would EcoHubs benefit from reprogramming Allison shift points?

    Mine gets to 7th just above 70 mph, and stays in 7th down into the lower 60's. I'll try to shoot a video. I'm setup the same as @Keith Knight but with the C7 and WTEC IV. IDK but the WTEC IV seems to compensate just fine. Everyone needs to stop getting wrapped up in the gear number...
