    Steering wheel stuck on

    Yea I had to round up longer bolts than I had with my puller when I pulled my original wheel also, to get full thread engagement.

    New Dash Layout in the works……

    Schematics? We don’t use no stinking schematics:) to which setup are you referring? This kind of progressed as a series of small phases. The new gauges are all mechanical except the two oil temp units and the fuel gauge. I used existing gauge lighting power feeds for the new gauge lights...

    Winch install question/issue

    Yea there should be a roller guide back by the shock above the leaf springs that holds the cable in close to the frame at that point to guide it up thru that narrow gap between cab lift and frame structure…

    Newbie just traded for a M1088 starting restoration and camper conversion

    My truck was mostly stripped of door hardware when I got it, as they are high failure. I put toyota 4runner door handles on mine. Been running them for decades on multiple vehicles and have never broken one. Junkyards are full of them as they don’t ever break:) Fairly easy install, only a...

    New Dash Layout in the works……

    I ditched the filter-minder gauge for primary fuel pressure. I dropped out the round voltmeter for a dual led display unit that fits in a switch hole, and used the round opening to add engine oil temp. Over on the left I put in a dual needle air gauge and standalone low air switches to replace...

    Manual transmission LMTV?

    Yea the A0 PDP is not the source of the power issues that I have seen. The weak link in the PDP are the cheesy circuit breakers IMO. Auto blade fuses work great…. Having helped a few people with electrical issues, i cant think of a single A0 PDP issue, but I have helped several localize to...

    Steering wheel stuck on

    penetrating oil and as mentioned, load it up then give the center bolt on the puller a tap with a hammer.

    Removing LMTV suspension compression system

    Maybe:) the drivers side is the hard one, I had to make a tool to reach the bolts on that side…

    No power, funny noise. . . Ideas?

    Well either something is loose and leaking air, or the pump has issues. Does the sound change when you turn tge wheel/use power steering? I would probably take the pump off and run it without that and see what it sounds like, although a mechanics stethescope should be able to tell you exactly...

    LMTV CTIS Question

    You really should ask a fresh question. The people who could maybe answer it might never see it in a CTIS discussion…

    When It Rains, It Dies

    If it hasn’t set that low for too long, the battery may be recoverable, charge it. If I am recalling correctly the A1/A1R shouldn’t have a 12V vampire. The Vampire on the A0 is I believe from the 12V feed to the Vehicle Interface Module, and the WTEC3 transmissions don’t use that or 12V as far...

    Vehicle won’t start with ignition switch

    Ok what exactly do you switch or jumper to start the truck? By cab battery disconnect are you referring to the red guarded sw to the left of the steering column? That sw does 2 things. 1. it opens the battery disconnect relays in the box to the rear of the batteries adjacent to the manual...

    1998 LMTV m1078 3116 pulling a code d1-6600 d2-4212 d3-6927

    Well yess there is, with a ohm meter. But that code 66 indicates the TCU isn't even looking for it. The code 66 says it is looking for TPS data from the engine computer which you don't have on the 3116. Like I suggested to Superman if it was looking for the standalone TPS and it had an issue...

    1998 LMTV m1078 3116 pulling a code d1-6600 d2-4212 d3-6927

    TPS = Throttle Position Sensor. On the 3116 it is on the drivers side of The cylinder head above the primary fuel filter.

    1998 LMTV m1078 3116 pulling a code d1-6600 d2-4212 d3-6927

    Well if it is in the mode of looking for a standalone TPS I would suspect it would give some form of TPS fault like a 21-12 or 21-23 for failed low or high as it would report a TPS voltage outside the idle and full throttle positions stored in memeory…

    1998 LMTV m1078 3116 pulling a code d1-6600 d2-4212 d3-6927

    Ok, then it sounds like a harness mismatch or issue telling the TCU that it is in a different environment…

    1998 LMTV m1078 3116 pulling a code d1-6600 d2-4212 d3-6927

    Have you ever seen this truck operate correctly? With a 3116 engine and properly programmed wtec2 or 3, you should never see code 66. That indicates loss of serial comms to the Engine Control Unit(expecting to see throttle position data from engine computer), which this truck never had… code...

    AWD and Slip

    Yea i don’t see the need for center diff interaction control with what I am envisioning, as it is on a per axle basis(controller for each axle). I envision it more like an on demand electronic locking diff, and when you would use it the center diff is probably already locked in mode. It would...
