    Who are the experts on the Air compressor

    Yes, they are pretty clear, I was not expecting that. Did a test after I rebuild the head, I did not hear any diffrence when running in idle, it can be that loads a little faster than before. Christian

    Who are the experts on the Air compressor

    After 8 years owning an LMTV I can confirm that nothing on this tucks will be permanent, except the constant maintenance tasks. If you think you found all the gremlins I can bet there are a lot more waiting for you ;-) What should be intresting is what haldex says about preventive rebuild of...

    M1078a1 - Starter Flange Play

    Definitly. What wrench did you use to close the 3 bolts that connects the flange to the flywheel housing? I changed them to normal hex screws because the original ones are difficult to tight up... Christian

    M1078a1 - Starter Flange Play

    I will bring this topic to the first page. On my starter 2 of 5 bolts where broken and only 3 of them hold the entire starter in place. All of them where loose. Christian

    Who are the experts on the Air compressor

    Thank you all, you saved me from a bigger damage! My LMTV have 50000 miles, air system without big leaks. But anyway I discovered a broken spring: I doubt the the new springs will survive forever, so my question is: after how many miles it should be rebuild again? Christian

    CTIS - electrical smoke

    Getting the board inside the dash is quite easy, the buttons can also be single buttons, in total 6 wires... I would keep the original connection plug as it's easier to handle. Christian

    CTIS and Arduino

    One solution could be to check if pressure when inflating is below the preset. This means that there is not enough pressure in the tank and that the tires will deflate instead of inflate. Doing so it can be avoid that the pressure in the wet tank gets below a critical level. Than it can be used...

    CTIS and Arduino

    That's easy, it's just inverting the boolean value. But it's a risk because with no signal the controller thinks he have full tanks. So there is no protection against wiring failures. Christian

    CTIS and Arduino

    Hello! Yes, I use the wet tank input switch. There is no need to change any logic input, the original one close the signal to ground at 120 and reopens at 80 or something like that. At least you use a switch to ground you can use anything. Important is that it's closed to ground when you want to...

    CTIS and Arduino

    Yes, they work also on A1R because no connection to the can bus is needed. The CTIS is almost isolated from the rest, except the speed sensor signal. But that I do not use. I also rebuild the controller to be more failure save against electrical issues. Plus it now have 5 presets instead of 4...

    I bought them all from finditparts, single order, same sku no... I will check the spare seals if there are some diffrences... Christian

    M1078 front axle: under pressure when ctis is inflating? SOLVED

    No, the direction of the seal was correct, the internal diameter was diffrent....
