    M-1088 Electrical Problems

    Now that you have good batteries in it, start it up and measure the voltage at the batteries(gnd terminals to 12v and 24v terminals). Your 12v reading should be very close to exactly 1/2 of the 24V reading. IE: 14.2 and 28.4. The alternator should maintain this relationship regardless of load...

    New member; M1088 new batteries started once and now will not.

    Yep You need 12V and 24V on the appropriate test points in the Power Dist Panel, both static and while pressing the start button(under load). Sounds like something isnt right. Outer 2 terminals are supposed to be -, connected together and the ground wires connect to them. The next 4...

    Dual voltage alternator compatability question (1505 vs. 1506)

    No, unless you like replacing batteries regularly. it imbalances the charge so one set gets overcharged and one gets undercharged... You can use a straight 24 alt but you need to use an equalizer/converter to maintain a balanced charge between 12 and 24v, or better still not tap the 12V from...

    WTEC II vs WTEC III?

    on a WTEC II the controller is below the keypad and the VIM is below the PDP behind the passenger kickpanel. On a WTEC III the Trans controller is below the PDP behind passenger kickpanel where the VIM used to be and they did away with the VIM. There are a couple of standalone relays for...

    WTEC II vs WTEC III?

    Couple of 10mm bolts to pull the passenger kick panel. If you have a vehicle interface module there, you have a II. on the III, the trans controller is where the VIM usually is...

    M1078 Air/Hydraulic Pump Electric Replacement

    Well it was sure nice of them to fill in all the performance data... Looks like Stone became SPX and that model info is not listed on their website... Since the pump is inside the reservoir there is probably no pump displacement info easily available either without removing the can. The...

    24 is a better way to do this... How long does it take to tilt your cab?

    M1078 Air/Hydraulic Pump Electric Replacement

    The voltage regulator doesn't know load or load sharing, it only knows output voltage. it will use full field excitation/full output to try and maintin that voltage. The batteries can supply current at reduced voltage, but the alt will bust itself trying to make rated voltage. When the voltage...

    M1078 Air/Hydraulic Pump Electric Replacement

    Many single acting units actually have a return port, it is just capped/plugged. Got pics Or model number? the good thing about the single acting units is they have a check valve on their output. Whatever you put on there has to have a check valve on the output for the hand pump to continue to...

    Air dryer purging oil

    Some oil yes, but it sounds like he is getting a lot of oil... have you disassembled the dryer yet? The dryer also needs to purge regularly to stay clean and shed water and emulsified oil. It purges each time the compressor gets the wet tank to set pressure and the governor unloads the...

    Air dryer purging oil

    Well unfortunately it is probably a worn compressor. The comp pulls some vacume every time the piston goes down to draw in air. One thing y0u can check is the inlet airline up to the main air pipe is not kinked/crushed and your air filter is clear so it pulls as little vacuum as possible...

    Best place to attach aux air tank on truck

    If you mount it like that you need a rubber cap to cover that quick connect to keep it from filling with crap:)

    Dual voltage alternator compatability question (1505 vs. 1506)

    Ok ok, first off, wipers and blower are 24V. The peak light load(highbeams, markers, reverse, brakes hazard flashers) I calculated at around 25A... Not sure what the VIM uses, but I don't think it is 25A...

    Best place to attach aux air tank on truck

    yep, that is connected to the outlet of the protection valve(just out of the pic to the laft).

    Dual voltage alternator compatability question (1505 vs. 1506)

    It is rated for 50A at 12v which should be plenty.

    Best place to attach aux air tank on truck

    Well the LMTV system made provisions for aux air and brake protection. If you connect it to the output of the protection valve like CTIS and cab suspension are, it will fill your tank only after the the system gets the braking system above 85 PSI.

    Mounting Warn Severe duty 18 winch

    Yea, if you want to remove the front gladhands, you would have to remove the Three 2way check valves circled in red and connect the two lines that don't run to the front gladhand to form the pathways shown in green. You would also have to remove the one way check circled in red and cap the...

    M1078 Air/Hydraulic Pump Electric Replacement

    There are restricted orifices in the control valve to keep the flow from exceeding the cylinder lockout limits. You should only need to add flow restriction if you changed the control valve...
