    Registering an M1078 in Washington State

    Well that will be depressing if I cannot license mine. Went to do it in September but WA will not license a cab and chassis, so I need to put a bed on it before I can try again. They didnt mention anything about FMVSS issues and even gave me the GVW weight cert form for when I brought in pics...

    transmission oil cooler hose: torque for the jam nut on 90 degree fitting

    They don’t even list a torque spec for it in the transmission replacement procedure where you remove and install those fittings from the transmission case. I would say snug enough so you cannot rotate the fitting when pushing on the hose fitting...

    allison no workie

    We can only see half the bolts that hold the assembly together. Half bolt the plate to the flywheel/ringgear assembly and the other half are up between the plate and flywheel that bolt the flex plate to the torque converter adapter ring... page 8-1 in the 24p manual has the exploded views of...

    no buzzer

    Yea, that one is worse than most and kinda hard to follow to get an idea of how a circuit functions as it jumps between so many pages. It is also about 30’ long when you print it all out... What I have found though is that the A1 schematic is easier to follow for getting an idea of basic...

    what fluid is used in the wheel hub?

    Hot is such a subjective term. IR thermometers are pretty inexpensive. Get one! A rule I developed many years ago was if I can stand to hold my hand on it for 5 seconds, the temp is below 150F. Dont need to do that any more as I have several IR thermometers... yes a draging brake would heat...

    bypass starter interlock inside cab

    Pull relay K1 and jumper pin 30 to pin 87. That will send 24V to the aux starter solenoid and crank the engine, same as when the start button energizes K1 once the other interlock requirements are met. Now wether running without a transmission controller is a good thing to do or not I am not...

    1995 m1078 not getting any power after unhooking batteries and welding on frame?

    Are you sure about what terminals on the polarity box you are measuring? 12V at the 24V terminal sounds like the first issue you need to overcome...

    alternator hookup

    The wire labeled PL-35 goes to the front terminal on the regulator, 24V from excitation circuit breaker and relayK11? Dosnt excite alternator untill oil pressure switch closes. The one labeled PL-110 goes to the rear terminal. It goes to the STE/ICE connector, some measure of...

    no start

    Got a multimeter? First test is the testpoints on the power panel. Voltage between ground and the 12V TP and ground and 24V TP. 12V is hot when batteries are connected, 24V appears when the ignition switch powers up relay K2. With the switch on the testpoints should both be the same as...

    CAT mounts and slope thru drivetrain

    Mine is about half a degree upslope toward the rear(front of engine lower). I think Smike 740 is correct. Pitching the front of the engine up makes life harder for the shorter front driveshaft and its ujoints in a 4X4...

    Twitchy instruments

    Havnt really come across a definitive one. On sheet 15 of 34 of the electrical schematic you will find TB2 which is the ground tie point for most of the cab wiring. It ties to the ground lug in the power panel which ties down to the cab-chassis ground point by the passenger side cab...

    Location of the Output Speed Sensor

    Your feeling is correct, that sensor is behind that small rear access cover. If you look at the sensor location diagram 68 in the 24P manual. It is part number 12 on page 3 of the diagram. Looks key shaped with two holes in the flat part of the sensor. That manual calls it a switch, but when...

    LMTV air leak

    This thing? I can pull up on mine(have to pull hard) and it will vent air. Sometimes it will leak slightly by itself when the system is completely charged.
