    How to straighten your cab?

    Yea I would say toasted bushings could cause that. Some interaction with the cab lift cylinder, since it applies all its upward force on the passenger side probably also has something to do with it…

    M1078 A1 tachometer diagram

    There is an excite terminal and an AC terminal on the alternator regulator. But this signal is used by the LBCD For its operation. Not sure if it is even in a format that would properly drive an AC or alternator tach, it was designed to feed the LBCD, both components built be C.E.Neihoff… in...

    M1078 A1 tachometer diagram

    The A1 crank sensor is an ECU sensor. The tach signal/RPM data is on the J1939 bus on the A1… I don’t think you can use the tach AC signal as the LBCD uses that signal… Are you trying to add a tach? Google “J1939 tach”

    ECO DIRECT DRIVE HUBS

    Ok, looks like we can post here now. As discussed on messenger, i would like a set for a 4X truck. I have some pretty good terrain on my property where I can do before and after power requirement testing...

    ECO Hubs Who needs 3:07 gears?

    So do you have an LMTV? Along with altitude, your biggest factor is going to be weight. With the stock gearing at a given weight, it takes X amount of RPM/torque. I will be curious how much added torque it takes to perform tasks. I have some pretty good terrain available on my property so...

    ECO Hubs Who needs 3:07 gears?

    The hub gears are a form of planetary gearset. A planetary has 3 parts, driven, reference and drive. To get a ratio out of a planetary you drive 1 part, brake or hold one part and the 3rd part becomes your output. We hold the inner gear by attaching it to the spindle, we spin the outer gear...

    Turn Signal Issue

    Well if it is just the right front, what does the dash right turn arrow do? Does it flash reliably/consistently when commanded? what happens when you turn on the hazard flasher switch? I said the fronts were pretty straightforward. The signal goes from the flasher to the hazard switch...

    Turn Signal Issue

    First off, what exactly is it doing? The signal system is complex mixing 12 and 24. Intervehicular signaling. But the fronts are probably the most straifhtforward part, so need to know exactly what is happening...

    ECO Hubs Who needs 3:07 gears?

    Yea if it was a traditional rear wheel drivetrain/4WD transfer case system, traditional matching locking hubs in the front might be applicable. but it is not, so they are not…

    New M-1083 owner. So, here we go!!

    If it is doing it unloaded, it is probably leaking back thru the dryer outlet check valve in the upper dryer housing… there is a large nut top center of the housing with an elbow screwed into it. If you disconnect the outlet hose from the elbow, and unscrew that large nut from the upper cover...

    Cab tilt question.

    Yep, the cam in the end should stay pointed at the cab floor as the cab rotates. Its purpose is to ride in the long slot in the rod end when the cab is lowered and floating on the air suspension. As you raise the cab it should rotate with the cab into the short slot. This allows the cylinder...

    New M-1083 owner. So, here we go!!

    Did you put an Oring in the groove on the new purge valve assembly? There is one on the old valve in your pic, but not on the new valve… When the governor reaches set pressure, it unloads the compressor and sends system air pressure down to that little plastic line attached to the bottom of...

    Cab tilt question.

    A little side probably isn't a problem, the pivot structure is fairly rigid, and the cab after all is lifted asymmetrically from one side anyway, so it has some tolerance in this regard. As Chucky mentioned, you don’t want the front uphill. By design, the lift rotates the cab a few degrees...

    Mav’s M1088A1 Conversion

    So maybe something stalled the pump… You are not the only owner of this truck. The offending component may have left with a previous oil change…

    M 1078 front toe spec

    Chapter 13-5 in the manual has a horrible description of measuring toe-in(says to install the gauge at the bottom, measure there then roll the vehicle forward, which would put the gauge on the back side and probably in conflict with the driveshaft), but it states toe-in should be between 0-1/8”…
