you want the input and output pinions very close to/at the same angle, so the only reason you would use shims is to put the two pinions at the same angle. The only way to reduce driveshaft angle is to raise or lower something… you could put a high pinion axle in the rear end(raises the rear...

I am not sure what the rear shaft angle is on the trucks with a raised pinion, but Yes, steeper angle of the lower pinion axles, coupled with the ~3350 driveshaft RPM at 60MPH. At ~9 degrees on the older 4x4 trucks, highway RPM is double what the engineers say a driveshaft should be spun at...

Yep, they should use the same plug, yours is just hidden under the 24v cable…

Yep, circuit breakers. Those look a little more robust than the ones they used for the A0 panel. Mine are kinds cheesey:) You can replace them with standard automotive blade fuses. I would keep one in each size, as they can be handy troubleshooting intermittent faults.

The problem with water is it typically carries minerals and O2. Not to mention any phosphates or chemicals any soaps would carry. That is why saltwater is such a problem for circuit boards. If you use water I would reccomend distilled or demineralized and no soap. In my attempts to recover...

As you increase the driveshaft angle you increase the longitudinal vibration. This has nothing to do with the balance of the driveshaft, and a perfectly balanced driveshaft will experience it. It is a physical phenomenon brought on by changing the plane of a driveshaft operation(angle) using...

91% iso should be ok, and should still evap relatively clean. that and a brush should clean that board right up. I use a 3/4-1” paint or chip brush and cut the bristles to 1/2 length to make them a little stiffer. I would dry brush it first, then use the brush dipped in alcohol. This will...

Ok, the only time I have ever used freshwater on a circuit board was when I am trying to salvage one that has been immersed in salt water:) 99% isopropyl has been my goto cleaner for 99% of the time over the past 40 years. Doesn't leave any residue, doesn't interact with board, solder or...

Isopropyl alcohol and a 1” paintbrush for the board cleaning. Disconnect the batteries first and until the board is completely dry:) Sounds like perhaps the alt excite relay(K11) was not feeding proper voltage to bring the alt online. It needs at least 22v at the excite terminal(front...

What color were they flashing? They should be flashing green? The alt is a standlone device, the LBCD simply monitors its RPM and voltage output and commands the disconnect relay or lights the charge trouble light… yea the cab latch adjustment is mechanical, usually with the vertical...

That and operating them well outside the max RPM vs operating angle spec...

On a 3116 I would(and did) re plumb the engine cooling back to the way cat designed it. As it is now the plumbing sends all the bypass coolant down to the trans cooler instead of back thru the engine to get the engine to proper op temp. Running a diesel too cold is not good for it. As plumbed...

ours is a QS5, but there are QS3 and QS4 on Ebay for $ 50-95. Not sure how important the type valve assembly is, other than ours is 24V. The line size and number and size of the manifold nozzles determine how much is delivered . Even at that the A0 procedure has you applying it at about a 40%...

Like I said earlier, if the batteries are properly matched to the alt. 2 batts instead of 4, 100-120AH wet cell battery bank, the LBCD and the disconnect relay becomes unnecessary...

In the end CTIS doesnt know pressure, it knows voltage. It relies on the pressure transducer and its circuit to make that conversion…

Made by a company called Quick Start.

i’m 2 toggle switches, 1 pushbutton, 1 relay and a pressure gauge into mine… Just sayin:)

The LBCD controls that charging system trouble light. It is looking for an acceptable voltage when it sees the alternator over 1500RPM. greater than 24.5V if I am reading the Neihoff manual correctly. If it drops to 20.5v it disconnects the battery and puts it on a trickle charge. If your...

I have interacted with quite a few 5 solid light failures, mine included, and that is not counting the other intermittent failures that have not degenerated to a 5 solid fault(beat on the controller to restore ops for a bit:)). So I would say yes they have a fairly high failure rate across...

Well I have used windshield washer fluid in systems with metal parts, rubber pump seals, grommets and all rubber lines for decades, with no negative effects noted…
