    PSA - How to fix a locked out tire crane ram.

    Yea that cylinders orientation is terrible for one with a safety check on it… with the safety check removed, You can add a WFC-400 flow control right at the fitting where the hose attaches to the cylinder. Then if something springs a leak, the worst that will happen is the tire will come down...

    Alternator Suggestions?

    The cannon plug is between alternator chassis and regulator… There should only be 5 alternator connections to the truck an all these are: +28 +24 Ground E screw terminal on regulator. This receives 28v in from K11 to enable alt output after the engine is running. F- or AC terminal on...

    M1078 no crank blows fuse

    The neutral relay K26 provides the 24v for K11’s coil on pin 86, but that is not what controls K11. The path from pin 85 to ground which will allow current to flow and energize the relay is how K11 is actually energized. So once again I ask DO YOU HAVE A LOW OIL IDIOT LIGHT IN THE DASH WHEN...

    What are you using to seal up the turret cover?

    Beeswax and bunny farts… if the cab is level, you don’t really need any as the gutter will drain down the center of the windshield before the water gets high enough to go over the lip. But if the cab is slightly tilted to the rear the gutter can just barely get deep enough to surmount the lip...

    Adding Cruise Control to C7

    well how much pull does the Rostra servo have? As for signal. you have the final output speed sense and the engine tach pick-off on the engine flywheel. i believe both these signals are used raw by TCU, speedometer and tachometer. Vehicle speed is sensed off of a 36 tooth gear in the...

    CTIS PCU Deflate Solenoid - Connector Unplugged; faulty wiring or solenoid

    That is the best way to check for wheel valve leaks. so they look OK to 70 PSI by your testing:) The top half of that diagram is a CTIS plumbing diagram found on a 6X6 truck. you probably do not have the kneeling valves shown on the front wheels at the extreme left as they were discontinued...

    Sitting for 5 years. Help me get it running?! Please!

    Well if the primer will lift fuel to the filter it should be able to push it entirely thru the system and you should be able to get fuel out the return line where it attaches back to the fuel tank. No chance of it starting without filling the gallery in the head completely with fuel… if you...

    CTIS PCU Deflate Solenoid - Connector Unplugged; faulty wiring or solenoid

    What general said. The wheel valves are leaking… bad or dirty diaphragms. Everything after the PCU is controlled with air pressure and flow. The front axle dump valve is on the right side of the transmission. The dumps for the rear axles are on the crossmembers above those axles. when...

    CTIS PCU Deflate Solenoid - Connector Unplugged; faulty wiring or solenoid

    Where exactly is "this valve" located? That is a Quick reacting or dump valve, there is one for each axle(services 2 wheels). it has one input port and 2 output ports(one for each wheel), and a vent port. These are remote pressure regulators whatever is applied to the input port the valve...

    Would EcoHubs benefit from reprogramming Allison shift points?

    Are you in mode offroad? the trans may hold lockup deeper into 2nd with 1st as the lowest gear... There is also a programmable option for manual or automatic lockup control(2 switches, manual/auto and on/off), but you would want a sure way of disconnecting it before you tried to roll to a...

    Would EcoHubs benefit from reprogramming Allison shift points?

    did you actually ring out the TPS resistor and confirm its response is linear? the TPS cal only sets the 0 and 100% pedal positions it does not really evaluate the slope in between, but TPS input has a huge effect on how the allison responds and shifts. I show how to check this out and show...
