    LMTV. Replacement “ cab air bags”

    Interesting. I get the impression it is stiffer than the air spring as I don’t think I saw even an inch of movement out of it even with the suspension making some pretty large movements… say “Rubber Baby Buggy Bumpers” three times fast…:)

    Cruise Control?

    well yits friction control already holds it in place, the issue is it needs to automatically command to zero to cancel it if you need to panic stop… That thing you step on to make the truck go is in reality not a throttle. For convenience we all call it that, but since it is connected to a...

    CAT HEUI issues, failures and fixes

    Yep, basically a limp mode so the truck is not completely disabled. As General said, it is a bare minimum amount of power, not enough spool the turbo, maybe just enough to move the truck off the highway or idle it around the repair yard:)

    CAT HEUI issues, failures and fixes

    Yea it could be... the ECU uses a Pulse Width Modulated signal to control that pressure reg valve Based on what it sees on the pressure sensor. So if the system doesn’t see a sensor, it will either not fire the injectors same as if it does not see adequate pressure, or it will detect that no...

    CAT HEUI issues, failures and fixes

    Is that sensor a must have or will it start and run in a limp mode without it?

    Air Flow CFM?

    I am not doing zero torsion, I am doing “roving 3 point” AKA captured spring. In my case I chose to place the two fixed points found in 3 and 4 point systems at the front of the habitat, with the 3rd roving point alternating between the two frame rails at the rear depending on which one twists...

    Who are the experts on the Air compressor

    Well if the governor was not unloading you would probably see pressures above 125 on your brake gauges and eventually the pressure relief on the dryer would start venting... The governor on top of the air compressor has 2 lines connected to it. One is the sense line in from the wet tank that...

    M1078 no crank blows fuse

    When you turn on the ignition switch, k11 must energize, you should also see an oil pressure idiot light. If K11 energizes, it should provide 24V to TL162 on the start push button. When you push the button that 24V gets fed across to Tl163 on the other switch terminal, then down to TL33 on the...

    Air Flow CFM?

    magnet sticks to mine, 98 A0 With my filter relocation above the cab, I was contemplating fabbing a new one out of aluminum from turbo boot back to the duct that will run up the front wall of the habitat to the new filter location.

    M1079a1p2 strange starting issue

    Well there is the remote disconnect, ign and start sw pax wheel well, and another disconnect in front of your knees when seated. Are they all in the right place? do you have proper 12/24 voltage measured to chassis ground at the batts and thru the manual and remote disconnect terminals in the...

    LMTV cabin fan not working

    yea you should be able to lift the control panel out to access the fan speed control. I mentioned the circuit breaker it comes from farther up in this discussion. Those small lines on top of the engine are 1/8" poly/nylon lines. In this case they are the ether injection lines and run to a T...

    LMTV cabin fan not working

    well if the cooling fan solenoid is clicking and hissing that is a good sign. the wet tank needs to be above 85PSI in order for its protection valve to send any real airbeyond leakage) to the fan solenoid or CTIS. If you start the truck and get to full air pressure when you shut down the ign...

    Two Batteries Instead of Four - Issues?

    The 100A alt is just fine once you stop loading it's 12V output:) Once you switch the 12V loads to the 24V output(~15A@24V), 4ea 6T wet cells are looking a whole lot more acceptable. They will be looking for ~60A worst case during absorption, so with the 15A of lighting load@24V, you still...
