    M1078A1 cab and chassis electrical upgrades including AC

    Yea the pics I have seen and the few I have had my hands on have JIC6 fittings on the primary filter and on the outlet port on the pressure reg at the back of the cylinder head. Don’t recall if I have ever had my hands on the lift pump inlet port and don’t recall seeing a pic of it, but I...

    The 3116 lift pump is in the governor like the HEUI. from what I have observed I think they use the same basic lift fuel lines. One ~6' from tank to primer/primary water separator and filter. A second ~2' line from primary filter to governor/HEUI lift pump inlet port, all JIC6 female fittings...

    M1078A1 cab and chassis electrical upgrades including AC

    The design of the LBCD with the capacitors was as you mentioned, to provide a “load” for the alternator in the event it commanded a disconnect of the batteries. Think of it like one of those runaway truck ramps with the loose sand and gravel. It catches the trucks(alternator) energy when the...

    M1078A1 cab and chassis electrical upgrades including AC

    Well the caps are built into the LBCD, so removing it removes the caps. i would NOT put the disconnects on the ground side. Again, you do not want to disconnect the alt from the batteries while still leaving it connected to the rest of the electrical system. the issue with ground side...

    M1078A1 cab and chassis electrical upgrades including AC

    I would not put any form of disconnect between the alternator and the batteries/load. HardWire it in like you show the starter. it is considered poor form and dangerous to disconnect the load from a running alternator. The electrical section in any automotive service manual usually includes...
