    Cab Tilt pump Rebuild, quick tips

    I just finished the seal replacement rebuild on a cab tilt pump on my M1078A1 circa 2006. Two quick thoughts. 1) Leave the reservoir mounted. Just pull the heaver Gage steel formed cover / guard to access the top of the pump assembly. Remove the hoses then remove the 6 10 x 24 hex cap...

    Reduced Power C& Acert

    I recently installed the kit from https://ifskit.com/the-ifs-kit on my 2006 M1078A1 with a C& Acert Cat. Very Nice kit, a couple hours to installed, everything needed was furnished. Zero complaints with the Kit. First few startups required extended cranking, but everything starts easy now...

    Exhaust brake Questions

    My 2006 M 1078A1 with c7 Acert is fitted with what I believe is an air actuated exhaust brake (see photo) What is the "normal" position for the air cylinder when the engine is idling? Extended or retracted? I can't for the life of me get the rotary shaft to move *at all* I'm curious if this...

    Possible re-invention of the Wheel

    My 2006 M1078 was acquired with all the bits and pieces for a complete CTIS system. These are currently residing in a box until I'm issued a month of sundays to unscramble them. In the mean time I've discovered airing up or deflating the "Single Super" tires can be a test of one's patience...

    Bed Side Panel Storage M1078 A1

    My 2006 1078 A1 has 5 swing down panels around the bed, and two underbed racks to apparently store these panels. I can only get one panel to fit in each rack. Am I missing something? 2//5 panels seems a bit wacky.

    Bed side panel storage question M1078A1

    My M1078A1 has 5 removable, swing down panels around the bed. It also has two sets of racks under the bed to apparently store these panels. I must be missing something because I can only fit a single panel in each rack. 2/5 panels seems kinda wacky. Suggestions?

    ABS / Traction/Stability Control

    Newbie here. Just took delivery of 2006 M1078A1. I'm trying to determine if my truck has ABS, and if so has anyone considered developing some form of Traction control using the sensors of the ABS. If other forums are a better place to post this please let me know. Tobin
