You are correct, the A/C controller needs a ground path to enable the condenser control relay. Where the confusion arises is that the fording switch controls 24V to control the engine fan solenoid.
The fording switch does switch ground to control the fan indicator light, and with one small...
There is a steel L shaped bracket that connects from the back of air compressor to the block. If that isn't there all that compressor and power steering pump weight is hanging off the aluminum gear case. Add road vibration and perhaps driveshaft vibration, stir vigorously and you get a cracked...
Yea I dont know if locker is the right term for the mechanism in an intermediary axle. As I understand, It doesn't lock the axle shafts together to drive both wheels equally.
The center axle normally freewheels, and when engaged(in mode) it uses air and couples the driveshaft torque passing...
Don’t you have the A0 schematics? They are available here in the back of each tech manual, and if you message me your Email I can send you a reduced file size schematic only that pages faster on laptop or tablet. Foldout 15-17 has the meat of what your looking for. If you pull out the power...
Interesting… The A0 is pre turbo, I havn’t played with the A1R too much and hadn’t noticed that “feature” It appears that they did the same thing with the A1… So, go turbo protection valve!
I guess that would depend on what kind of pressure control unit it was designed to operate with. I have seen these listed as a M35A3 part, so that might be a community to hit up to see if anyone has a wiring diagram to determine what/how it interfaces with the wheel air hardware. Exactly...
Also of note in that video(and most air system diagrams) is that 100% of the dryer output air passes thru the supply/wet tank To reach the service tanks. The purpose of this is that dryers fail, so hopefully you will find water in the wet tank BEFORE it gets to the service tanks to contaminate...
Well that IS the purge valve core. The significance comes into play if the compressor inlet is connected into the engine air intake system between the turbo and manifold. This config makes the air system more efficient when the engine is loaded as it delivers pre-charged air(20+ PSI) from the...
Yea looking at the closeup pics it almost looks like it is for a Panasonic tough-book…. If it was a cots processor the power supply is probably a 19.5v output…
Yep, probably also has a funky antenna mount on the right rear corner of the cab…
In law enforcement they call them Mobile Data Terminals or MDTs so you can probably google MDT vehicle mount…
I think it would be fairly easy to shift the stock config to a Foers. I am going to install an electric like that, using a fixed shiv at the back in front of the rear fairlead and just pull a loop out and use a donut shiv and a soft shackle at the rear. Having had to move winches front to back...
What Bdog said. They were a pressure regulated deflate valve to lower the fronts to a set pressure in conjunction with ghe suspension compression system to get the truck onto an aircraft.
There is also a procedure on here somewhere using a coin and epoxy to seal them/turn them into a fixed...
The neihoff regulator regulates the field for a 28.2v output. The 12v tapped out of the middle of the windings is fed thru SCRs(switchable diodes). The regulator controls/fires the gates of the SCRs like a switching power supply and regulates that output to half the main output or 14.1v…. If...
The air is applied at each hub via an individual air line attached where the hub assembly attaches to the ends of the axles. The lines split at the dump valves, that have one input from the PCU, two outlet ports(one to each wheel) and the dump vent. You could put a solenoid valve on each of...
Well a single face bond is typically what I see on auto glass as the sealant typically doesn’t wrap too far around the edges of the glass in the windshield recess. For best performance I think you really want a 2 face bond. That way any applied force/vibration is working against at least one...
I would be inclined to give it a recessed sill to set in and bond it using an adhesive. Set at the correct height, the glass face would set flush with the surrounding steel and the sealant/adhesive along the outer edge could then be shaped so that all the water would drain away. At that angle...
