    M1078 no crank blows fuse

    The neutral relay K26 provides the 24v for K11’s coil on pin 86, but that is not what controls K11. The path from pin 85 to ground which will allow current to flow and energize the relay is how K11 is actually energized. So once again I ask DO YOU HAVE A LOW OIL IDIOT LIGHT IN THE DASH WHEN...

    What are you using to seal up the turret cover?

    Beeswax and bunny farts… if the cab is level, you don’t really need any as the gutter will drain down the center of the windshield before the water gets high enough to go over the lip. But if the cab is slightly tilted to the rear the gutter can just barely get deep enough to surmount the lip...

    Adding Cruise Control to C7

    well how much pull does the Rostra servo have? As for signal. you have the final output speed sense and the engine tach pick-off on the engine flywheel. i believe both these signals are used raw by TCU, speedometer and tachometer. Vehicle speed is sensed off of a 36 tooth gear in the...

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

    That is the best way to check for wheel valve leaks. so they look OK to 70 PSI by your testing:) The top half of that diagram is a CTIS plumbing diagram found on a 6X6 truck. you probably do not have the kneeling valves shown on the front wheels at the extreme left as they were discontinued...

    Sitting for 5 years. Help me get it running?! Please!

    Well if the primer will lift fuel to the filter it should be able to push it entirely thru the system and you should be able to get fuel out the return line where it attaches back to the fuel tank. No chance of it starting without filling the gallery in the head completely with fuel… if you...

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

    What general said. The wheel valves are leaking… bad or dirty diaphragms. Everything after the PCU is controlled with air pressure and flow. The front axle dump valve is on the right side of the transmission. The dumps for the rear axles are on the crossmembers above those axles. when...

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

    Where exactly is "this valve" located? That is a Quick reacting or dump valve, there is one for each axle(services 2 wheels). it has one input port and 2 output ports(one for each wheel), and a vent port. These are remote pressure regulators whatever is applied to the input port the valve...

    Would EcoHubs benefit from reprogramming Allison shift points?

    Are you in mode offroad? the trans may hold lockup deeper into 2nd with 1st as the lowest gear... There is also a programmable option for manual or automatic lockup control(2 switches, manual/auto and on/off), but you would want a sure way of disconnecting it before you tried to roll to a...

    Would EcoHubs benefit from reprogramming Allison shift points?

    did you actually ring out the TPS resistor and confirm its response is linear? the TPS cal only sets the 0 and 100% pedal positions it does not really evaluate the slope in between, but TPS input has a huge effect on how the allison responds and shifts. I show how to check this out and show...

    Engine Pre Heating Connections?

    You use one port on the thermostat block(pre-thermostat) same place where the cabin heater is fed from. You could T off the cabin heater supply port. There is a port with an Allen head plug on the side of the engine block all the way back by the transmission/bell housing on the passenger side...

    Alternator Suggestions?

    What batteries are you running? The 100A dual volt alt really gets hamstrung pulling 12V out of its middle. it cuts the total wattage by nearly 1/3(1930 watts at max 12V and 24V load). Thats the real issue with the 100A alt. In the end, the truck load is perhaps ~35A total @ 28V if...

    any idea where oil leak came from?

    Well where do you use red oil? the PTO gearbox I believe uses pressure lube, thats that hose connected down to the corner of the control module... you could pull the hydraulic pump off of the PTO drive and should be able to confirm this, particularly if your trans uses red ATF...

    Potential new owner, need help with no start truck!-

    A pair of group 31’s in series will work just fine, it is what cat specced for these engines. The 4 batts were to meet a milspec requirement, but the alt was too small to support them properly. A pair of 31’s is what I use, and are a great match for the alt. Yes 2 alternator belts, there is a...

    Potential new owner, need help with no start truck!-

    The schematics in the manual are in an unusual format and can be a little hard to follow As the start circuit hops around between several pages. Here is the A0 start circuit condensed to one page…

    Potential new owner, need help with no start truck!-

    Ok, it looks like a 98 M1078 A0 that looks like the standard alternator mount, it is missing a drive belt… should be a couple of things going click when you turn on the ign switch, and when you push the button. The loud click under the cab is a good sign that is probably the aux start...
