    Battery venting

    Are they dusty? Could be minerals fromthe dust crystalizing with condensed moisture… what voltage is the tender holding the batteries at? Wash them off with soap water and a brush and rinse them clean and see if it returns…

    LMTV FMTV Exhaust Brake Questions?

    The ex brake light on the A1 receives the same power the ex brake solenoid valve does, so light on means brake engaged. Like I wrote above, That power originates at the ECU. and passes thru K16 contacts and also powers its coil. But it passes thru the de-energized contacts. So relay off = ex...

    M1083 6x6 brake part

    Ok, I think I am tracking now, I couldn't see the rollers and lacked scale to see how large it was. the part on the left with the rollers is called the wedge assembly, broken and minus its spring. It rolls between two angled ramps(one seen as number 4) and force the shoes apart when the...

    1078 A0 engine starts, runs for anywhere between 8-30 seconds... [newbie ? buried in a long post]

    Mine had a crack in the filter bowl. Didn’t find it until I filled the system with fuel, capped the return line at the tank and applied 10PSI from a regulator at the fuel feed line at the tank. Let it set for a while and then found fuel weeping from the bowl below the seal. I replaced the...

    M1083 6x6 brake part

    Is that part in the left hand side from inside the old chamber? A new assembly should have had it Already installed, as Taking apart an air chamber assembly to install it can be dangerous(compressed spring), unless you are absolutely sure of what you are doing. There are no sub/internal parts...

    Possible re-invention of the Wheel

    What Ramdough said… If the CTIS plumbing is intact, you could do the same thing to the feedline (PCU output line to dump valves) behind the passenger dash where the PCU resides… Then you could do 4 at once. The regultor will probably limit flow, but it should be fire and forget. I would not...

    LMTV CTIS Question

    I believe that is correct yes. You can access the wiring and wire in the switch. Like in tge drawing pic I posted, One half powers the CTIS controller while the other half powers that OFF light when you turn CTIS off. Most of the wiring should be in the main truck harness as it connects to...

    LMTV CTIS Question

    The drawing I am looking at says there is a CTIS off light(DS29). I only thought there was a ctis overspeed light, and on the A0 thats all there is. But apparently they were added in there at some point. @Wingnut13 that other harness is probably your issue. No telling what they assigned the...

    LMTV CTIS Question

    Well thats exactly what they did on the A1, a CTIS power switch. Depending on your vehicle, pin H may or may not be the power. I think they used power applied to various pins or combinations of pins from the sub harness to configure the CTIS controller for different applications. Different...

    ECO Hubs Who needs 3:07 gears?

    Yea, I THINK because of the 2:1 out in the hubs, the torque converter is really underutilized unless you are really trying to start a very heavy load. So you step on the pedal and the engine RPM ramps right up, and the turbine follows right along as you accelerate smartly because it has a real...

    ECO Hubs Who needs 3:07 gears?

    How was the 2-3 shift? I have a theory that our 2-3 will be nicer with this configuration due to the way the Allison brings on the lockup clutch in 3rd. Yea the fill is thru a inner to outer hub mount hole. The amount of oil in the rear is not so critical, any extra you add will just flow...

    ECO Hubs Who needs 3:07 gears?

    I am setting up to do some before and after 0-60 accelerations and hillclimb/start tests. Unfortunately I have to put my cab suspension back together, and I want to get a tach working first before I begin. I expect it to accelerate atleast the same, and I expect I will run out of traction...

    What is the CAT part number for 3116 fuel primer?

    Here is a pic of the underside of this style primer/filter assembly. Mine has a hinged assembly, but still held in place with a Phillips head screw. Trust me when I tell you it is real handy to have a primer in the system…

    What is the CAT part number for 3116 fuel primer?

    The filters point up, once full, they will stay full… The primer isn’t there to fill the filters anyway, it is there to fill the fuel lines and gallery in the head. If you have ANY sort of leak, the fuel lines and gallery will drain their fuel back to the tank. You will then crank and crank...
