Perhaps someone with experience can give me some tips on taking down the spare tire because I've never done it on my 1078A1. I have the operators manual for the 1078 which is dated 1998 and when I look at the photos in Section III, 3-5 on how to accomplish this it looks like there is an arm...

I second the thanks for the information on how to use the technical manuals. Very helpful!

Good point, my replacements were 12VDC, but they came in both configurations.

Congratulations! I replaced my headlamps with Truck-Lite, 7" round LED lights. They are far superior to the originals, nice and clear and bright. There is not a number on the box but their website is www.truck-lite.com, 800.562.5012...

Expected you to at least honk when you passed through Indianapolis, but happy to hear that aside for minor issues you're doing well. "Brutus" not a bad name choice.

I have never checked my mileage. Honest truth. I know from owning a couple old Land Cruisers that if I drive em at 55 I do much better than at 65 or 70 and I'm not offended by those who seem to be in a hurry to pass; I just let them. So I assume that there is some savings if I don't push this...

Allison recommends TES 295 transmission fluid.

The gearing in my 1078A1 was changed and I can easily do 70 mph, I also installed cruise control. Seventy miles an hour is way to fast in this type of vehicle so I usually set it on 55 or 60 and cruise down the road.

We need a GPS device on that vehicle so it can be tracked. Agree with others, very nice looking truck.

Do you remember where you purchased the "tool"? First time I attempted to loosen my lug nuts no length of cheater bar would work. At least in my hands. I had to turn to the 1" impact wrench. I need to get my hands on a big torque wrench to reset them to proper specs. Addendum: I now see, after...

I'm in Indianapolis and have taken the 1078A1 on many a long haul. Wish you well.

Thank you, your response is well written and clear to me. I understand what you are saying about parasitic load as well. What took me down this path in the first place may or may not be related to that point. I parked my my truck for about an 8 week period this summer. When I came back the...

I appreciate your technical insight in this regard. I was looking and hoping for an easy solution. When I charged my batteries in the past I disconnected all the terminals and charged each individually. It took time and effort to do this, but my takeaway from what you said is that this is the...

I am interested in how you would hook up a suitable 24V charger to charge the entire battery bank (all 4 simultaneously, not disconnected). To that end, If you take a voltage reading from the left rear battery positive battery post to the right front battery, negative post you get 24VDC. This is...

Thanks for posting the link, it all helps...

Yes, I am most interested in finding something more current than what I have which is dated 1998. Please see my PM. Thanks, Eric

Perhaps a redundant post to the above, but I too am deeply interested in information on the A1's as mine is 2008 vehicle. If anyone can point us in the right direction it would be more than appreciated.

I too am interested in updates on this event. Please keep us posted.

I need to install a couple of fans in the cab of my 1078 LMTV for passenger comfort. There seems to be a number of options, even OEM, however, I noticed that the latter are 24 VDC. Does anyone have any experience installing personal fans in the cab and if so, should I look for 24 or 12 Volt...
