    Niehoff N3030 Regulator/ M1078/ doesn't have flashing light capacity

    So I have started the Alternator Project and am installing 24vdc 110 Amp Alternator and I gained access to my Power Panel. I am going to install two Orion Victron's to this unit, one will be operating my 12vdc running works and one will be wired for my Emergency Side, lights and communications...

    2004 M1083A1 Motor Oil in Coolant/ Lots

    I knew what you were thinking and the froth in the water is that of fresh oil but then it was serviced in February, moved 30 miles away and then sat. So I would have fresh oil either way. I figure the best thing to do since its a mess anyway is fill the crankcase (I figure the Motor Oil is down...

    2004 M1083A1 Motor Oil in Coolant/ Lots

    The oil isn't even on the stick and the Transmission has all its oil. No I haven't started it because I don't know if they want to pursue warranty work from the previous people who did the work or what. If I touch it they might attempt to use that as an excuse. Been there, done that, Not fun.

    2004 M1083A1 Motor Oil in Coolant/ Lots

    Thank you. It was stated by the ones who have the truck that the head was magnifluxed. You really don't like to ignore the input but the question is was it? This truck is pristine with only 4000 miles on it. What can go wrong ??? LOL The bright Cat paint isn't even burnt off. Like I say first...

    2004 M1083A1 Motor Oil in Coolant/ Lots

    Well it seems that it is just the basic maladies then. I was hoping someone would point out the unique to this truck only oil connection. Going back over other mechanics work is really tedious but needs to be done. I guess the first place to start is refill the crankcase oil and drive it and see...

    M-1078 Windshield Wiper Motor and Linkage Replacement and Repair

    So for a wrap up on the wiper situation. This is a bit embarrassing but you guys deserve a follow up and humbling is always good for the soul. So after looking at the parts list I was sent and the information y'all fed me I suddenly realized that the passenger side wiper could not be broken if...

    2004 M1083A1 Motor Oil in Coolant/ Lots

    Well I got more information on this. Apparently it is an on going problem. Oil Cooler was originally replaced first. Then there was still Motor Oil in the Coolant/ So the Head Gasket was replaced and the Head was allegedly milled. And they said that there might be some trace of oil still...

    2004 M1083A1 Motor Oil in Coolant/ Lots

    This is a sketchy beginning for a question but I been called to analyze why a vehicle that has just returned from having a Head Gasket installed has oil in the cooling. I don't know the history of this vehicle but I can say it hasn't been used much. I don't know why the Head Gasket was replaced...

    M-1078 Windshield Wiper Motor and Linkage Replacement and Repair

    And the linkages for the Wiper arms? are they easily accessible or ....what? Are parts readily available? And if you have to service the arm and linkages behind the windshield, does it come out the front by removing the area? Thanks again

    M-1078 Windshield Wiper Motor and Linkage Replacement and Repair

    I have never been faced with repairs to the wiper system but now I am and I looked to how to even approach this. The passenger side wiper is not working and has free movement. The Driver and Middle Wiper work in unison. I looked in the defrost area hoping that the linkage was there and no. So...

    Niehoff N3030 Regulator/ M1078/ doesn't have flashing light capacity

    I went back through the video and it explains well. Pursuing clarification. I intend to order the Victron Orion and mount it in the right kick board area like you stated. If I run a 4 gauge wire from the 24vdc Alternator to the Orion under the dash, and then a 4ga wire from the Orion to the...

    M-1078 Door Handles/ Interesting Topic?

    So I need door handles but I really am having trouble paying prices close to $200 for one. I really would like handles that do not have a lock or pot metal. The end statement is this. Has anybody come up with better door handles at a lesser price.
