    2009 Lmtv M1078A1 Charging System

    Not sure, have not seen one in the circuit diagrams. can you get wire numbers off of the attached wires? What amperage? Is it set or tripped?

    2009 Lmtv M1078A1 Charging System

    Under what conditions, engine running? I have never seen schematics for the LBCD or regulator so it is difficult to determine how exactly it does it’s job or exactly what the signal carried on that line between LBCD and AC term on the regulator Are. That AC terminal is labeled F- on other...

    2009 Lmtv M1078A1 Charging System

    On the A1, the polarity protection box is called a LBCD or load and battery connection device if I recall correctly. The “AC “ wire on the regulator connects to the LBCD. The AC lead is actually a field sense wire which is a way to measure alternator load. The LBCD monitors alternator load...

    Thats a good question:)

    MTV Engine and transmission swap

    Another thing that might also be considered if you are choosing different trans ratios would be to loose the 2:1 in the geared Hubs. That would simplify the axles and half the required driveshaft RPM at speed…

    Identify air fitting - Alemite

    Yep, what Bdog and Mullaney said. It is the air brake protecting valve. It controls the airflow to the rear gladhands. It has pri and sec service air applied from the pedal, and trailer air from the dash control valve. That fitting is the vent that helps to release trailer air when you let...

    Valve Leaking on side of Wet Tank

    The one on the LMTV is set to 85 PSI per the TM. It is really just a rubber disc. If you can find the same thickness material you could cut one. I would recommend silicone grease over RTV/sealant in this application…

    Looking for a throttle pedal for a '96 1078. Anyone? Im located in NH.

    The cab floor angles upward right in front of the pedal hinge point, but it looks like that could be made to work fairly easilly. You would have to add a fitting to the tip to attach the Heim joint for the linkage…

    Is legit cruise control on a 3116 possible...?

    In fact you might be able to use the freq divider box used by the STE to sample the tach sensor without loading down the signal. They call it a freq divider, but the circuit looks more like an isolation amp…

    Cab ride shock absorbers

    Yea, mine are not leaking yet, but I am planning on aftermarket cab shocks and airbags to replace these aging one piece units…

    Is legit cruise control on a 3116 possible...?

    I am sure you can sample speed sensor, may require some sort of isolation as it is already driving speedo and CTIS…

    Try energy suspension’s website they list poly bushings by sizes if I recall

    Is legit cruise control on a 3116 possible...?

    There is also supposedly a way to read ECU fault codes using the cruise control switches on the 3126…

    Is legit cruise control on a 3116 possible...?

    I didn't read your link(i get pointed to lots of links) but i was responding to YOUR comment to the person referring to vac cruise where you said: “See my post above and you have all the contact info for the company THAT MAKES THAT”. By your use of the word “that” I inferred you were talking...

    Is legit cruise control on a 3116 possible...?

    Yep, except there is no vacuum on a diesel… You would need a vac pump and reservoir. providing they make a model with enough force to pull the linkage on the 3116 governor…

    Is legit cruise control on a 3116 possible...?

    Had a project manager on a patrol boat project I was working on who was adamant that no mic or control head would be placed in the overhad of the pilot house, citing a navy study that suggested that swinging mic cords would hyptonize and put crew members to sleep while on watch. Of course the...

    Is legit cruise control on a 3116 possible...?

    Sounds like a lot of complex engineering and fab. There is not a lot of wirking area on top of the engine. It Also sounds like a lot of room added to fail. It would be easier IMO to replace the servo on an existing diesel CC system with one up to the task. And easier and less complex still to...

    Is legit cruise control on a 3116 possible...?

    Yep in the ECU controlled engines, it often is. The Cat 3126 and C7 engines have it also just need to add some wiring to the ECU connectors. The A0 trucks have the all mechanical 3116 engine so it needs extra equipment to hold the throttle and automatically cancell…

    Is legit cruise control on a 3116 possible...?

    The issue you will probably run into is finding one with a servo motor large enough to hold the governor linkage. With mechanical diesel on the decline, i would expect these to become even harder to find. It might be easier and more practical to build a cancelling mechanism for the hand...
