    M1078A0/ Parking Brake Release

    I apologize that I don't remember all the pursuits and research that I did at that time but I found that there was only the one valve that had a anti-compound valve that was a part of it. ( The valve KN28043 was the only valve to put back in there because I found in my search it is the only one...

    FMTV M1078A0. Transmission Swaps

    Looking at this further, IF the 31 pin connector is the one on the transmission on Page H-2 shows (if I am right about the connector) that the TID2 can be installed as long as you install an internal wire harness in the TID2 transmission which then causes me to wonder why I can't take the lower...

    FMTV M1078A0. Transmission Swaps

    So lots of time has elapsed since I started this particulare project and now I need to get back to it and finish. I used Appendix H and see that perhaps I'm not in as bad shape as I first figured. My transmission number of the one removed is a TID One/ The one replacing it is a TID2/ (H-1 chart...

    Need a Guiding Light

    Thank you, guys. I looked at the tank and no picture. Do you know by chance if that tank is aluminum or the plastic? Didn't know if you had personal experience buying it?

    Need a Guiding Light

    So I went to the parts manual and did find the part number of both gasket and reservoir and now I am asking for different information. Where can I buy reasonably priced tanks. Aluminum used? I feel I just got raped window shopping!!!

    Need a Guiding Light

    Attempted a search on Hydraulic Tanks that fit the air pump for the Cab Lift, etc, and turned up nothing appropriate. I am looking for replacement tanks. Prefererably not the plastic ones but aluminum. They don't crack or the helicoils don't get ripped out somehow misteriously. Any guidance is...

    2003 M1083A1 Does C7 replace 3126?

    Here is the conclusion of that project. Truck is running and back in service/ ECM after several starts adjusted to engine and vice versa. I don't know how long the engine was in the box. I flushed the coolant side of the engine and found a very interesting fact; the coolant runs about 15*...

    2003 M1083A1 Does C7 replace 3126?

    When I get these trucks and their problems, sometimes it is just best after diagnostics to see if they start and confirm that the ECM is the problem. I am just saying that if you can start the truck that is 3/4 the battle. I like to know my possibilities to make that happen. Running well is...

    2003 M1083A1 Does C7 replace 3126?

    Thank you for the reply. So according to the numbers I have a 3126B which apparently I will need a tune on the computer but since you said, if it even drives which I doubt, you know of course what I need to do and that is to see if it moves. And if it does it will mean does it move enough to...

    2003 M1083A1 Does C7 replace 3126?

    This is how it is so far. Cat 3126 Engine #7JZ06815 is replaced by Cat C7 Engine #7JZ00594 Swap Mechanically went well Reporting back that though I haven't driven down the road which I am going to, it started using the 3126 ECM. When I finish, I will report back as to how well it runs.

    M1083A1 Wire Numbers for Location/

    TL number is a 4 gauge andcapable of reaching the alternator. I will go to the schematic again. I do have to say the schematic for the A0 are alot nicer and easy to follow than the A1's. My opinion for what that is worth. LOL I think I just figured it out, hand over hand to find the other end?
