    Alternate Alternator Selection

    The original one with all the individual wires is a known issue. There's a PS magazine article about making new small interconnect wires for them. But there's a new version from Bussmann if you don't want to delete it.

    Where is the CTIS function troubleshooting section in the TM's?

    So what symptoms are you having when you try to run an inflate or deflate?

    Eliminate the air/oil pump

    There is no need to retract the cylinder. Once the cab latches and the pin retracts you can stop.

    Eliminate the air/oil pump

    Hhhmmm - have you rebuilt the air-over-hydraulic pump? Sounds like it's aerating the fluid and that's causing the volume to increase and it's efficiency to drop off. When you say it takes 40 pumps to retract the "cylinder" are you referring to the latch locking pin? If things are working as...

    LMTV Maintenance and employee proofing

    That is the factory CAT fuel filter. All those parts will be available at any CAT dealer - just bring them the engine serial number off the rocker cover.

    LMTV Maintenance and employee proofing

    Best to read the -10 manual and follow all it's guidance. There are a LOT of grease fittings. You will want to also read the -23P manual for all the annual and bi-annual services. Treat the air system with EXTRA attention and service the dryer regularly. The compressor's like to eat exhaust...

    LMTV Abs troubleshooting

    Well many people have swapped to just two batteries and had no issues so four group 24's should be fine.

    LMTV Abs troubleshooting

    Yeah I've never had mine disconnect. But I've not seen the 100A unit disconnect or fail to run with the grid heater running either - the grid heater is on the 24v side and that's the less loaded side of the alt (compared to the 12v with all the lighting turned on). I think you have some serious...

    CTIS...soo close to working properly

    What he was referring to is someone putting Shrader cores into the wheel valve stems on the back wheels. Normally the Shrader core is in the CTIS wheel valve but can also be installed into the tire valve stem. Doing so will prevent them from deflating (will still inflate).

    LMTV Abs troubleshooting

    Also - for the time being and for testing while you wait for a replacement - don't hesitate to connect the batt and load cables for the 12v and 24v respectively together with some bolts and nuts (and insulate them). As long as your batteries are charged and you don't connect them backwards the...

    LMTV Abs troubleshooting

    The one I got one in that thread is from this guy and cleaned up really well: https://www.ebay.com/itm/124776145677 There's vendors here on the SS forum that have them to. You could check with @Suprman and @wheelspinner.

    MMDC air sensors, replacement (?)

    Yes. It is a Haldex N50011H 4730-01-524-7892 is the NSN for the entire unit with mounting bracket.

    That whole unit is trash IMO. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/lbcd-replacement-due-to-loose-studs-carnage.206979/

    That is normal. It's a fusible link.

    MMDC air sensors, replacement (?)

    I just get the dryer cartridge from my local NAPA. They had the best price. The major and minor kit if you need them are on Amazon or FindItParts or both. The "service" is just the cartridge which only takes about 10 minutes. The rest of the stuff is as-needed but you should probably do a...

    LMTV Abs troubleshooting

    LBCD voltage drop should be about 0.5v or so. 1.0v is a lot. 1.6v is unacceptable. 12.6v is fully charged for a flooded lead acid battery so you are close there.

    C7 Starter Solenoid Napa Part#

    Not if it worked intermittently. Turning that stud will rip the tiny coil wire off the head of the stud and render the solenoid completely NMC (non mission capable). Once you do that it never works again or makes any noises - intermittent operation while hearing it click internally means the...

    MMDC air sensors, replacement (?)

    You should already have the top-of-the-line Haldex PURest dryer...... the MWM "upgrade" appears to be the Haldex/Bendix AD9 which is a very common unit but is NOT better than the PURest dryer. Not according to Haldex anyway. And you don't have the clamps for the AD9 because you don't have the...

    A1R Bumper Options

    Interesting - so your truck is in the 119k range serial and mine in the 117k range. My truck was built 05/08 and yours was built 10/08. The NIIN for the 8667 composite skid plate was issued on 10/09/2008 so the same month your truck was built...... missed the steel skid plate by just a handful...

    MMDC air sensors, replacement (?)

    There's not a lot of air movement across them if you get the system perfectly sealed, so they should last quite a while. Mine are still purple - may have lightened a bit but look OK to my eye. Given the manufacturer put nothing at all in the truck to protect them other than the main air dryer...
