I don’t think the A0 polarity boxes have any caps, but I havn’t been inside one either. There really isn’t any room for any by the looks of the heat sync extrusion, with only a narrow potted area down the center. they don’t have that large box that houses the caps on the LBCD. The caps in the...

I pretty much said that in the previous sentence…:)

Ok, that kinda explains the fan question…

yea you would have to change plugs, but the 1506 and 1509 alternator chassis appear to operate and be driven in the same fashion, so it might work. it would be a matter of picking the 5 signals needed to drive the 1506(14v, 28v, b-/gnd, F- and SCR drive) from the 6 wires used on the 3207...

Yea was thinking there is probably a piece of crap in it…

It is press and release, then start. After the correct number of power cycles clears the TPS cal and shift schedules, The throttle press and release re-educates the TCU to the current min and max throttle position Points. it can then provide 0-100% throttle position info to help determine...

I just put a chain around the garage and tow it along…

I take it you are refering to the secondary air cooler? Also good to do the radiator and intercooler from time to time…

Oh, no, was thinking this was an A0 discussion. The A1/A1R with the cat 3126 and C7 did not divert the bypass coolant down to the trans cooler…

:) Yep, with the bypass flow going to the trans cooler/heat exchanger, the A0 will not warm up until the trans warms up and until enough load is applied to overcome the cooling capacity of the transmission. With my altered flow, mine warms right up to op temp now unless I have the heater flow on…

Did you replace your LBCD at some point? been involved in so many problems, I am forgetting who had what problem:) As it takes a little while for the alternator field to collapse when the alt has a major load change, The LBCD has a large capacitor bank in it to absorb the alternator energy when...

Depends on where you are at and what is wrong. The cam is driven by the timing gear, so if the front pully/ fan is turning, it is a problem in the gearcase up front… it depends on if it is an interference or non interference design(question for a cat mech or rep). If non interference it may...

Bad timing gear? definitely not good, sorry to hear that…

C209 are the lattitude and longitude on the sheet and SH24 should indicate sheet or page 24 on the diagram…. The diagrams typically have dashed lines around parts of the drawing indicating a physical area on the truck…

What General Disorder said. It could be that the monitor circuit has failed. Since it is putting out power, I suspect you will find 24V on the forward screw terminal(E/EXC/ENG) when the engine is running. It is obviously making power if you are seeing 14 and 28V. The voltages that Neihoff...

The existing wiring is not a bad match for 200A with the distances back to the batteries. I wouldn’t go over that though… Changing the alt does not change the load the truck uses natively. The only reason to upgrade the polarity box is if you intend to pull more power thru the cab power...

The fan is air controlled. Removing air engaged it, so if the tanks are empty, yes the fan will be engaged until the compressor fills them… even if you have air, the bearing drag will cause the fan to rotate and move a fair bit of air…

Hey thats a cool drawing, my info was for the previous designs(1506,1509,1511)that were configured with the traditional ground path control and no data buss interface…

Victron energy also makes good stuff. This is not an equalizer so would only take 24 from the battery/alt and create 12 for the truck loads. I was looking at one of these for my truck, until I got a good deal on a vanner equalizer. They can be paralleled for 140A, have an adjustable output...

The way I understand it, that only makes sense if they put a resistor in the field circuit and the short somehow bypassed that resistor, but then the regulator should compensate for it. As I understand it F+ is already at B+, and the F- side is fed to the regulator and pulsed to ground to...
