Hi Folks,
I have been enjoying the heck out of driving my resurrected Truck!
Got my door handles in today from ebay and they look good.
I also found them direct from the manufacturer, TriMark - $180 (ebay) spent, well worth it. Looking forward installing both of them and making my doors...
Will definitely start with a thorough visual and hands-on inspection... and keep posting about it. It’s nice when I see a tread were there is also a solution at some point!
I actually DO HAVE the manuals from this very fella!
Sadly, the thumb drive is not MAC compatible so I got to get myself a PC first before I can actually look at them. A little bit of a problem, but that was one thing I will eventually take care of.
I would love to get my hands on one of those ABS diagnostic readers!
Thank you Suprman!
On a side note, I haven’t found much if any info on owners who have done trouble shooting.
Is that just poor researching on my part or is there not much happening with ABS systems?
Again - Thank you!
Good Monday morning guys!
Who has dealt with ABS light on in dashboard and did trouble shooting?!
I have spent a good deal on going through TM’s but couldn’t find anything specific on the ABS light :shrugs:
M1083A1 - Year 2000 - CAT 3126
Thanks,
Andy
Thank you! But trust me, you can’t look very close. That’s about as save of a distance to be at ;)
Door handles broken off on both sides
CTIS disconnected and most likely not working
ABS light on
No front lights
Broken Front Windshield
All three left side tires loosing air slowly
circuit...
YES! You are absolutely correct. Thanks to Ronmar, that was something I looked at as well. I am not attempting to pretend this was my doing at all. I have gotten it going only because of this forum and the members contributing to it.
Ronmar’s comment was just as valuable and turned out to be the...
Problem solved!!!!! - Driving it! - DMV does not give me license plates!
Yesterday was a good day fellas!
After one year of having all kinds of hurdles, I have been driving it down the road!
It feels GREAT!
Thanks to every single one of you guys to keep coming up with solutions, ideas and...
INTERESTING!
Last year I posted a question about this very problem. I tried to identify the numbers stamped on the wires to make sure I would be able to connect things.
The post had taken off for some time but nothing really came out of it for certain.
Is there any chance you might have...
I thought that there were a few white wires cut when I sat down writing the post. If the black is as simple as battery ground, that‘s really good news!
There are NO batteries in it, correct!
My question now - How available are those panels and of course, how expensive!?
I will send you a PM and...
Yes, the dashboard is mostly ok, a few missing gauges but nothing what would keep me from trying to start it.
So PDP circuit board is the proper terminology? Good to know.
Thank you!!!
Happy 4th of July Weekend everybody!
I have a 1083A1 with a Cat 3126, year 2000.
It was originally thought to be a parts truck, but circumstances have changed :sad:
It is missing the entire fuse/circuit panel, which was basically ripped out, wires cut.
I believe I have come across a post at...
OK! I GOT IT! Sorry for the confusion, I think my brain just got locked up in believing one thing and.. well..:???:
Work has been rather ‘hectic’ lately and I am dying to get back into it and to finally resolve this issue for once and for all.
Also, I am still in the ‘tool-collection’ and...
This is exactly what I was after!
I have decided to rebuild both front hubs with all seals and shims.
Thank you so much for doing the work and putting it all together with working links and the TM description - Awesome!!!!
Can I assume that this will work for my 1083A1?
I definitely need to...
There is no arguing there! I completely agree.
Any idea where a complete set of seals and shims can be purchased from?!
Do I have to be careful as far as type/year of truck?
And last question...
Has anyone done a good write-up with pictures on this forum here?
I have searched with a few words...
Front Wheel Hub leaking - Looking for resources to fix it!
Good morning DriverDarrell!
I have been looking for info on front axles/wheels leaking and came across your reply Aernan.
Since this thread didn’t really go anywhere it seems, do you mind steering me in the correct direction if you...
I completely agree! Yes! I came to the same conclusion, hence I didn't see the need to dig into the air chamber and pull the wedge.
I am happy to be confirmed on that. Thank you!
