Adding ECO HUBS to our M1078 this weekend is going well except the front axle gear oil is clotted. Not cloudy or milky, black as midnight, clots when cleaning out the wheel hub with metal cleaner. It was difficult to clean out the wheel housings sufficiently. Planning to drop all the gear oil...

While I await the arrival of the new battery disconnect relay I took a look at the existing one. It looks almost as old as I am. Though I realised the new one is expecting a plug, not individual wires. Anyone know which plug?

I can be really slow. Are these just fancy ATC (breakers) fuses?

I have ordered hoses from CAT for years, though I use that little tag they put on there. I looked at this site this morning and said a similar thing: How am I going to know how to order the right hose–

Water is the universal solvent—

I am so grateful you all put up with noobs like myself. ABS (I noticed there is no relay in the ABS slot at the PDP, best to address) is labeled M-43 Detector and Decontamination Ap is air-over-hydraulic. Brilliant. Thank you both, need educating—

99%? I have 91% isopropyl and denatured alcohols (along with a nice wine and good scotch) though I know I don't have 99% isopropyl—

Do I need to keep these installed and connected? I doubt if they sense something I have the 'other' end installed to let me know—

Good to know. With my old eyes I need magnification to read the newspaper—

With the BATTERY DISCONN and CHARGING SYSTEM warning lights on we are running through the ¿PDP? on the cab passenger side dash. I need to order some micro- and mini-relays, clean up the board and perhaps some electrical lube. Good news is after pulling cleaning and reseating a number of the...

So, while still awaiting the relay's arrival, @GeneralDisorder suggested, I am looking for a rattle likely from the cab latch alignment. While working on that I noticed the lights upon the alternator flashing in an alternating fashion: 24v, 12v, 24v,... I assume that is good. Still left is...

Life is full of choices. As a commercial real estate broker and developer I am well versed with capitalism's soullessness. I appreciate your help, knowledge shared, and graciousness in the face of my glib response—

Or create a virtual Windows 7 machine on a Linux box and start looking for the cabling to connect to that round plug–

Ordered an Arduino prototype ($320 including shipping to the US) to be another beta tester (less than a 100 of us I understand). Though you influenced me to try a new Dana in the box as well, as the idea of having several program options is interesting. Though I don't play well with Windows...

In the end I decided to try plug and play and wanted to have a spare so I have ordered an Arduino unit and found a new in the box Dana. So, we will try both and see how they compare–

hmmm. I haven't checked at the alternator; dash gauge is higher, CTIS H and M are higher. Sounds like more good news =/ All good, it is all good. Better to know and address, than being clueless on the road once it comes up. Thank you, I appreciate all you share here on the forum—

@GeneralDisorder my M1078A1 has 24+v at H and M. Nothing at Z. The new unit listed is meant for a M939. Any thoughts on which pins it will expect power? The backing label states: highway 81# wrecker, 70# others. Once I get to our final tare weight (should be about 19,300#) I am expecting...

I would much rather have the Dana controller; though can't I have an Ardiuno and a spare for like half as many Franklins?
