    Free shipping to our local home depot. Didn't use the bus connection in the odd chance we have to go back. Added the wire ties as insurance. I think they were about $25 each, hopefully they will hold up well—

    LMTV A1 fast idle ghosting

    Our 2003 M1078A1 does on its own cycle to high rpm (though I haven't yet checked exactly how fast) when starting in colder weather. Though it does so after running a bit and doesn't stay there long. Clicking the high low switch always works while in neutral (1,350 rpm) and goes back when...

    Yes, not in the index, though on the J1939/1587 bus page in both. Once again I bow to you Ronmar. It shouldn't be added to the TM's, my mistake. Let us remove it—

    Alternate Alternator Selection

    We dropped the 12v backfeed, though will have 2-banks of 2-31's separated by a battery combiner which will allow the second bank to start assist, if need. We removed the LBCD and battery relay disconnects as you did, though brought the 24v alternator to the battery side of the manual...
