    M1083A1 Wire Numbers for Location/

    M1083A1 Wire Numbers for Location/

    And your 4ga clue pointed me right to it. TL508 connects to the solenoid L10 at the back of the head that feeds the intake heater. it comes from the LBCD/PPD. If you look along that wire you will probably find a funky thin spot covered with heat-shrink tubing. That is the “fusible link” for...

    well 4GA is pretty large, maybe for the intake air heater?

    M1083A1 Wire Numbers for Location/

    Unfortunately wire numbers can be difficult as there is not a clear listing. far easier with TL or plug numbers, as most of the plugs are listed for the A1 In a lot of cases, TL numbers from the A0 listing can give you a clue, but they top out at TL300 so N/A in this case. Where they are...

    Roof Leaks

    Mine had a strip of tape sealant applied around the circle. Except the bright light that put that strip in, left a gap between the two ends of the tape where they overlapped instead of running them into contact with each other… took longer to take the cover off than it did to fix it…

    LMTV Driver Door Window Glass Help

    No I do not, and I forget who I dealt with there over the phone. There is a thread in here that I started when I put in my omni windshield that should have the POC info.

    Cruise Control?

    I am going to go a little more sophisticated, air cylinder and solenoid valve to the brake switch. When you touch the Brake pedal, the air cylinder resets the hand throttle to zero…:)

    Subframe question

    Yep, and if the tubular frame is strong enough, like the tube and fabric airplane, the skin can be a lot of things. if the frame spacing isn't too great, a good Sikaflex bond will actually provide a bit of shear resistance, depending on how thick the skin is i suppose. If i recall that is how...

    Subframe question

    Stressed skin as in the skin carries part of the structural load. An old school frame and fabric aircraft has a frame structure that carries the load and a non structural aerodynamic skin. a ship or a typical metal aircraft uses a rib and stringer structure with a heavier rigid skin attached...

    Two Batteries Instead of Four - Issues?

    Ether itself is not the problem, as it is simply a combustible fuel with a lower ignition temperature than the diesel that is also being injected during a normal cold startup. It is its misuse that causes the problems... Diesels don't have throttle plates and use governors to control fuel...

    Two Batteries Instead of Four - Issues?

    The truck was saddled with this monster 4 battery bank to meet some cold crank mil-spec at a very low temp. Unfortunately the bright lights at S&S didn't size the alt properly to support it, so these trucks have been plagued with charge and battery issues as they typically do not run enough...

    Two Batteries Instead of Four - Issues?

    None at all. Cat specced a pair of group 31 batts for these engines, and that is really all they need. A pair of group 27’s would also work well IMO. 4 batts is too much for the alt as when 12v is fully loaded it puts out around 1/3 less energy than a straight 24v@100A alt does. a pair of...

    Subframe question

    I took a few minutes and looked back at their build series. They show the subframe assembly in their 2nd build video. It is a 4 point zero torsion, clamped to a cross tube in the middle with pivots in the same plane front and rear. With some video of him pushing on the box, it is quite rigid...

    CTIS issues

    Cool, you found it! This has been a fairly common issue I have helped troubleshoot. Probably a mud dauber or some other insect blocking the port thru the floor behind the grill…

    Transmission-Related Questions

    It goes out thru the bottom. In one of the manuals there are specs for a lifting jig to do it with a crane(bed removed). i am having to raise the floor of my hab in that area so am planning a removable floor section to allow access for possible future service…

    Cruise Control?

    OOPS, I screwed that up. I was thinking it was 36, but found one of my other posts on the subject indicating 26. I think I typed that wrong way back when, as having counted them I was immediately thinking/remembering 36. Sure enough I searched a little and found a different post indicating 36...
