A1 panel has 4 bolts in the PDP. 12 and 24v battery and 12 and 24v ign. With the battery disconnect switch on, the 12 and 24 bolts should have 12 and 24. When you turn on the ignition switch, the 12 and 24 from the battery bolts should be connected to the 12 and 24 ignition bolts by the two...

The delco wont require a voltage sense relay, the reg controls when it or the light is activated, so a plain simple relay(low wattage/less than 1A current draw) is all that is required. Have to look at the A1/lbcd charge light circuit, to see if it is a high side or low side control... i...

Very nice!

I suspect it will run a tenth or so less than 28 at the batts(rounds to 14/28:)). Thats the beauty of remote sense, it takes the line resistance/voltage drop at the batteries when feeding current to the them, out of the equation by sensing the batt voltage on a separate line without any current...

The normal regulated voltage for 24v alts is typically ~27.5-27.7V. that works out to 13.75 per battery, which is a high float charge voltage for wet cells and a little friendlier on outgassing the batteries on vehicles that run long hours on the highway. Our 28v alts are a little hot for...

100w is 7.7A all by itself:)

Oh yea, LEDs would be a fraction of the load… I totaled up wattage once and came up ~27A for all the lighting on a 1078. Its over 30A on a 1079…

yep, lead acid capacity drops off steeply with temp, but not as steeply as lithium:) At 20F a lead/acid only has ~75% of its rated capacity, and that is its current rated capacity IF fully charged. An older battery will have a lower capacity to begin with. if you were going to make a habit...

Springs, plural. There are 2 on the governor end, one inside the other… ideally, when you use one of these lubricators, when y0u inject on one end, you should see it come out on the other. You can also flush dirt and contaminates out this way. Several good dry lubricants out there as...

Cat liscensed HEUI to ford for the powerstroke...

I played with this on a Ford power-stroke. Same basic components. it has a sensor that reads HEUI pressure and a pressure regulating solenoid valve PRV, that the ECU modulates to vent/regulate hydraulic pressure to maintain pressure according to program. An issue with the earlier powerstroke...

Drivetrain 101 for a 4 wheeled vehicle: 2WD = 1 driven wheel out of 2, with a 50/50 torque split left-right In that driven axle. Either wheel slipping will allow all the torque to escape there. AWD = 1 driven wheel out of 4. Torque is biased fore-aft 30/70, and 50/50 left to right in each...

Well it is here in the tech manual section… in the back of tech manuals 20-1.pdf thru 20-5.pdf you will find the wiring diagrams https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/m1078-tms.118919/

only if you could get one at a lower cost than a tabbed alt. not sure if you still wouldn't need a adapter plate to hang a pad mount alt. lots of pics of OEM 3116/3126 engines with alts to look at online, but most of those also incorporate a upper fan mount bracket and I think the pad mount...

You would have to lock the center diff in mode, otherwise all the torque woukd escape out the front transfer yoke. This would also limit you to 5th gear... but doable...

LMTV = full time AWD, so all tires the same diameter is the best way to go…

Is the pressure still 7-8? How did you increase the pressure? The air that the relief regulates during a dump is fed back from the dump valves under manual control when you open the deflate solenoid, PCU pressure drops to that relief pressure and the dumps exhaust Trying to get the tires to...

I don’t have an intake heater, but that symptom also speaks to a bad connection between alt and batteries. As the inlet heater pulls current, the voltage drops and the battery and the alt should share that load. A high resistance connection back to the batteries would shift more of the inlet...

Yep, because the controller is not seeing what it expects to see, ~6-7 PSI. But the plumbing portion won’t care, and would cheerfully deflate the tires to that 20PSI relief valve setting:) So what pressure are you seeing during deflate, and how are you measuring that pressure?

At those voltages, 50% SOC AGMs should have been gobbling current… your current was fluctuating because the voltage was fluctuating…
