    removing trailer air on an m1088

    I don’t know what I would hook your tow-bar to… I removed the pintle hitch 2 weeks ago? It was going to be buried under the rear skirt of the hab anyway:)

    LMTV Power Dist Panel test point threads?

    They are not metric… 5/16 - 18 maybe?

    ECO Hubs Who needs 3:07 gears?

    And the bead-lock hardware at a longer moment arm should offset some of that ctis weight, IF they are installed correctly…

    removing trailer air on an m1088

    Yep, and that will absolutely work on the rear gladhands. Unscrew the glads out of the bulkheads and screw in some pipe plugs. Some of us just like to clean up and simplify where possible. It is a real simple de-install on my 1079 chassis, i was unaware of the added/different valve used on...

    removing trailer air on an m1088

    Yea, i am not either, will have to look into it. It looks like it samples air off that relay valve to the left. Do you have any more room to take a wider angle pic To show more components? The relay on the right looks to be the primary brake relay. There should be one that looks just like it...

    A Little Help Would Be Appreciated.....

    They changed that output. On the A0 it was the F-, the end of the field that the reg would switch to ground to pull current thru from 24v applied to the other end of the field. Measuring there you would see 24v applied to the other end of the field winding, when running you can measure the...

    Exactly!

    ECO Hubs Who needs 3:07 gears?

    Yea the math says the ideal would be around 4.70, but sadly I think 3.90 is the top end of our differentials range…

    A Little Help Would Be Appreciated.....

    as I understand it, The voltage is not sensed on the excite terminal, it is sensed on the main output terminal bolts As that is the most direct path to the batteries which is what the regulated voltages are intended to serve. At any rate, that has nothing to do with the volt meter going to...

    removing trailer air on an m1088

    I am making mine into an RV, it will not be able to really tow something with air brakes after that anyway. it cleans up the plumbing and simplifies the air system. Just took the pintle hitch off last week:)

    removing trailer air on an m1088

    Ok, they must have sampled primary air from some other location back there. You should be able to see which port is which input in the video. Unfortunately I am away from home so I cannot look at my old valve to confirm which input is which. Like in my configuration, you just need to look and...

    Well follow the glad-hand lines they should connect directly to it…

    A Little Help Would Be Appreciated.....

    Ok, so is your dash voltmeter no longer dropping to zero? Because there is nothing the alternator can do online, offline, tripped off on overvoltage that should be able to drop the dash voltmeter to zero. The worst you should see is a drop from 13.6/27.7(alt 14.1/28.2 minus diode drop) to...

    yea there are differences. Does yours have the same type air brake protection valve?

    ECO Hubs Who needs 3:07 gears?

    Yea it could be an out of round issue as much as an out of balance issue.

    M1088a1 Camper Build!

    I do not think the idiot light issue is a transistor. Because of the way the lights are activated, some by a path to ground, and some by a supplied voltage, The lamp test circuit on the A1 panel is divided into two parts. One part that receives a ground to activate and one part that receives...

    ECO Hubs Who needs 3:07 gears?

    Yea if you are going to run any of them, I would put the 2017 spare on the front and put a new tire on the other front…

    Pressure at gladhands?

    Uuuh you cannot make the front glad-hands supply air:) they are “innies” only… i ran my plasma cutter off of the rear emer glad-hand, worked great:)

    CTIS

    The dump valves, when dumping tire air out the vent also feed back a little air toward the PCU. If you close control and pressurized the system, then started a deflate by jumping to the deflate pin and then disconnected that, the dump valves will continue to vent, but the pressure in the now...

    CTIS

    If loosening that line from the PCU cover/case to the floors stopped the tire deflate, then that vent line to the floor is clogged… that vent must be unobstructed to atmosphere. The gentleman I helped a few days ago has an Acella, with a deep water fording package. they connected the lower...
