    BATTERY DISCONN dash warning light

    Further exploration leads to finding the LBCD disconnected. Connecting adds the CHARGING SYSTEM dash warning to the BATTERY DISCONN dash warning. Shoot. Alternator still charging, starter still engaging. So far everything I use works, even the CTIS when the connections are jury-rigged. The...

    Manual CTIS, electric over pneumatic.

    So, today I confirmed the CTIS system works, just the ECU is bricked (5 steady lights). Time to look into Arduino CTIS system and decide whether manual mod or plug and play is simplest solution. I appreciate everyone's help and not getting flamed returning to an older post. Thank you all—

    Manual CTIS, electric over pneumatic.

    Really not sure as yet. I do like keeping things simple. Sometimes the simple answer may not be the simplest solution. Running line, adding some momentariness and a gauge would fit into my plan to redesign the cockpit dash layout into something more ergonomic and functional. I haven't seen...

    ECO Hubs Who needs 3:07 gears?

    I may be. You all know much more about these vehicles and systems than I likely ever will. I appreciate all you share. Now that I have ordered the ECO HUBS I am on to how to best replace my bricked (5 steady lights) CTIS with a manual system based upon your design that suits my asthetic for...

    Manual CTIS, electric over pneumatic.

    Could you use a standard (front or rear) brake pressure gauge to read the pressure off the PCU's transducer? Desiring to keep the gauges looking uniform and wondering finding a brake pressure gauge would work. Especially, if I could redo the gauge's labeling without destroying the function. I...

    ECO Hubs Who needs 3:07 gears?

    I agree the axles are over spec'd and the likely reason for the 2:1 wheel hubs is to keep the pumkins smaller with larger RP teeth. I do not doubt the axles can carry the stresses our use cases are likely to encounter, even off road on challenging trails. I disagree the torque on the axle...

    ECO Hubs Who needs 3:07 gears?

    This is the piece I have been missing. The way the torque converter plays in the drive line. @GeneralDisorder mentioned it, too, I just kept walking past it. Thank you all for helping my Jeep brain get here. ECO HUBS are on the mod list now–

    ECO Hubs Who needs 3:07 gears?

    Here is a photo of the google doc I found the gearing information in. I do not recall though I think this belongs to a member here? It is titled: FMTV LMTV Common Issues & Fixes I may have misunderstood the discussion (and implications of the table "N/A" entries) on how the granny gear was...

    ECO Hubs Who needs 3:07 gears?

    Nothing more than a forest road as yet. We have a development project with some good inclines (25°), though rocks or ledges. That would help me get a feel for the throttle response and steep climbing. You all make me think, I appreciate it—

    ECO Hubs Who needs 3:07 gears?

    The comparison I am interested in is the crawl ratio. In a vehicle this big a crawl ratio over 50 would be helpful on difficult trails (7+). Moving methodically and steady through obstacles is easier on the equipment and the occupants. For example: I'd like to have ECO HUBS on our rig and...

    BATTERY DISCONN dash warning light

    Point me in the right direction please. I have spent too much time in the TM's looking for this and must just be too stupid or unable to channel the right mindset to find what I am seeking. 2003 M1078A1 has the red dash warning light BATTERY DISCONN lit, though everything (except the bricked...

    ECO Hubs Who needs 3:07 gears?

    Hoping to build upon the shoulders of giants... I may look at things from a different point as my experience comes from Land Cruisers, Land Rovers and Jeeps, not military vehicles. So, wanting to see crawl ratios and inches per minute I built upon @Ronmar fine table and then added in our...
