    Question about cab tilt.

    how much sidehill? How are your cab bushings? A little sidehill should be OK. if you lift it and the cab latch wants to mis-align, your front bushings are probably shot. in the end, the rear mount is flexible being on air shocks, if it can handle the side loads while driving, it should be...

    M1079 Rear Stairs

    Yea the shipping numbers for larger items are crazy. I have a snorkel assembly to sell and shipping is horrendous. Its actually cheaper to send it as 2 pieces/packages...

    Anyone have picture of properly mounted air brake load sensor valve on an m1088?

    Well I don’t have any 1088 info available, but this video shows it on a 1079. When mounted, the end of the lever arm on the load sensing proportioner should be directly above the bracket that the cable attaches to…

    Does the PPD do more than reverse polarity protect ? Modern replacement for PPD ?

    Thems fuses and holders cost good money boy…:)

    The usual area for a bad connection is at the polarity protection device/LBCD where the cab, battery and alt cables all meet, out in the weather…

    2006 M1083A1 6x6 Start up problems.

    Flashing and clicking is a classic bad/high resistance connection symptom. Resistance resists current flow not voltage, so like a kink in a hose, you can have full voltage/ pressure everywhere in a circuit untill you try and pull current thru that resistance. Then the lower current flow causes...

    LMTV Allison Stall Test issues

    And of course this discussion reminded me i did replace the flywheel sensor and I do have a frequency counter… freq in HZ X 60 = cycles per minute / 133 teeth = revolutions per min… I ran 5 stall tests, 2nd gear in mode, full pedal and allowed about 5 seconds for the RPM to stabilize after...

    LMTV Allison Stall Test issues

    Yep, ideally, should be in the peak range for installation behind a diesel, which would be ~13-15 hundred RPM? The only spec I have found for our TC part number found in the -24P manual is from Xcalibur, and they refer to that P/N as a TC-418 with a 1.98:1 conversion ratio at stall. TC-418 is...

    Ideally it should stall very near peak torque on the engine.

    I think it may reset them, it typically locks you in the current gear until you cycle the power, but I thought it held the ratio error. Are you sure you were not spinning a tire?

    LMTV Allison Stall Test issues

    Yes. you have input/engine RPM pulses, turbine RPM pulses and output/speed RPM pulses. Turbine and output should be locked together with gears and clutches, so any slipping in the trans would allow turbine to rotate and provide a signal, but with the truck stationary you would produce no...

    LMTV Allison Stall Test issues

    Cool info. but just neat to know, as it is difficult to pin down absolutes(actual torque produced and multiplication factor) mid power band without adding some fancy instrumentation:) Where this becomes useful is when you reach a slope that takes you to the end, TC stall point near peak torque...

    ECO Hubs Who needs 3:07 gears?

    A 17,400# truck should require 3,021# of thrust to crawl up a 10* slope. With the 70/30 torque split in 2nd gear, thats,~453# for each front tire and 1057# for each rear tire. So 1057# times 1.942’ tire radius = 2053ft/lb on each rear axle, so 4106 total out of the rear diff, divided by a 3.07...

    What have you done to your FMTV or LMTV today

    Ok, so left side PTO drive to the 2speed Dana Vdrive and back up to the pump over the transmission? I like it. What PTO drive did you use? Are you looking to use this while driving? If so, you may need to tweek the allowable PTO RPM limit settings in the TCU. Our local FD district where we...
