    CTIS Question

    When the governor unloads at its set pressure, it sends system pressure to the small port on the bottom of the dryer. That applied pressure opens the purge valve on the bottom of the dryer To exhaust the collected moisture. There is a check valve in the top outlet port to the wet tank To keep...

    Axle (s) rebuild thread, gears and lockers

    I have a pair of 3-1/2’ pipes cut for tire work. 1” with .125” wall thickness. These fit thru the holes in the rim and right over the solid studs. You walk the tire in as close as you can, roll the hub to align the hollow CTIS stud and slip the pipes thru 2 holes near the top and over 2 studs...

    CTIS Question

    With the grill off, thats easy then, peek up in front of the top of the radiator. There is a pass-thru located there. The pedal and the park valve vents are tied together behind the heater and vent thru that port When you let off of the pedal or set the park brakes. If for instance the pedal...

    Nope

    Probably they simply had the parts laying around:)

    CTIS Question

    Look for air leaking away out the vent up in front of the radiator. That would indicate the treadle valve or park valve is leaking Draining away the system air…

    Manual transmission LMTV?

    Well having the eco hub calculations fresh in my head, What is the total ratio in one of these manual+transfer combinations? 12:1? That probably would not work all that well. You are probably only going to get ~200# of idle torque out of a 6-7L diesel, and the clutch won’t be happy trying to...

    CTIS Question

    You adjust the governor on top of the compressor, but you need to connect a gauge to the wet tank to adjust this accurately to 125. Procedure is in the manuals... The CTIS switch closes at 117, so the pressure may not be getting high enough to close the switch...

    CTIS Question

    Have you reached 125PSI in the wet tank(brake service tanks)? CTIS will do nothing until it see enough pressure in the wet tank to close the pressure switch at the wet tank.

    ECO Hubs Off Road on our M1078A1

    Mechanical cable to mechanical governor:) throttle responds great… depending on how they generate or alter a reference voltage(5vin, 0-5v out) something like a shorted winding section in a variable resistor could cause part of the pedal to be VERY non-linear. so instead of 20%pedal = 20%...

    So have you measured your pedal to see if it is delivering a linear output? Garbage in=garbage out...

    Yep, ECU would be where this would be altered, but it still relies on the TPS sensor functioning properly…

    ECO Hubs Off Road on our M1078A1

    Yea i am not sure how the cat ECU uses or alarms on tps info. In general they typically accept any response within its recorded min and max signals. Sometimes they will record faults on eratic operation but tgat depends on how tgey are programmed and configured...

    Need help identifying a part for my LMTV or if I should even be trying to repair it at this point.

    Looks like the old battery electrolyte level tester, most junk them... That plug aft of the battery box is a boich connector. That finned dryer typically uses a different plug for the dryer heating element. Is this an A0 or an A1 truck, cause that is an A0 dryer...

    ECO Hubs Off Road on our M1078A1

    I wonder if your TPS sensor is linear? It could have small dead spots in the low end. The ECU may be programmable for response, dut will still rely on a properly working TPS...

    ECO Hubs Off Road on our M1078A1

    Well if moving ABS will interfere with individual wheel lockups and add pulse/applications that can actually make things worse. Quite a few topics i have read where people disable basic ABS for these type offroad operations. I have not offroaded much in an ABS equipped vehicle though... What...

    ECO Hubs Off Road on our M1078A1

    well if you were going to be doing more of this type downhill driving, it would not be all that difficult to put together a more precise hand brake control. A lever, a pneumatic cylinder and a relay valve with an air supply, connected to the front blue glad-hand. The lever and cylinder would...

    Front to Rear weight ratio of M1078.

    Well the 1079 is 500# closer to balanced when fully loaded:)
