    A 2007 M1078, is an M1078A1R isn't it? This truck should have a C7, MMDC, a different PDP, than an M1078A1 I believe—

    M1078A1 ABS Light on

    Does an M1078A1 have an MMDC? or would that be an M1078A1R or newer? The Additional lights and voltage drop is a weird symptoms. What lights, where did the voltage drop?

    M1078A1 ABS Light on

    The ABS light comes on, then off quickly at power up. Then if the controller is working you can hear the ABS system check front, back, front, back. Then if the system fails the light comes back on steady. If the CTIS controller is one from a unit other than the M1078A1, the pinout may be...

    Power Distribution Panel M1083A1 10/98

    Wire 3020 returns ground side from the indicator lamps to the lamp test switch. Unplug the indicator switch and see what happens? That should provide power to gauges still, gauge ground is on wire 3002—

    Power Distribution Panel M1083A1 10/98

    Not sure what "Dash indicator is Pacmaning" means X3 feeds CB77 to P301-14 to wire 1546 brings power to the gauges. Check the pins in P301? 1546 also feeds 24v to the 12/24 gauge switch—

    Air Flow CFM?

    We like your build, using the top rail to add your floor joists is quite beautiful, you extended the rails rearward, right? How far does your build hang off the back end? Perhaps we have been using a 5x9 trailer so long a 14' floor layout looks huge on our garage floor. We may not need as...

    Air Flow CFM?

    Not your question: As we refurbish our cab and chassis for a habitat we fail to see the reasoning for relocating the ABS, AoH reservoir, AoH controller and hand pump, ether bottle and controller, and tire crane with spare to gain about 8" of space. Moving all that is a lot of work and design...

    CAT HEUI issues, failures and fixes

    Success: added a new injection sensor and she fired right up. A little rough at first, not holding as close to desired injector pressures as I thought she should in the step test. Though after a warming her up and checking all the fluids and spots for leaks took her on a nice 30 mile loop with...

    M1088 camper conversion

    ummm. The box under the M-43 label behind the cab is the ABS controller, the M-43 mounts atop that steel mount, not below it. The chemical equipment is all removed before exiting military service—

    CAT HEUI issues, failures and fixes

    New fuel line from tank, new primer/fuel separator, new line to lift pump, old line to primary, fuel at tee after primary. You can hear fuel return to tank when pumping a hand primer. Primer stays hard until after cranking, still firm, just not hard. Maybe the pressure valve at the rear of...

    CAT HEUI issues, failures and fixes

    So, "...injectors are not fired until..." pressure is sufficient. I wonder if we just replaced a pump that needed a new sensor—

    CAT HEUI issues, failures and fixes

    Good question. I don't know, the reman came with a new actuator, the only thing in the fuel system not replaced is sensor and injectors. @GeneralDisorder likely does; the pressure is controlled by the ECM—

    CAT HEUI issues, failures and fixes

    Failure: Reman HEU installedI, CAT ET still reading less than 290# at crank. No start. Wondering if I should have replaced sensor, too? Batteries weak, charging them overnight while looking for next steps—
