TM operator instructions work package for raising/lower cab:
"Caution must be exercised while cab is raised. Ensure both doors are securely locked in the closed position before cab is raised or lowered. Keeping doors in the open position while cab is raised or lowered can cause stress on the...
Can you still install it? Different number of gear teeth just means it turns at a different ratio/speed - like change gears on a lathe...... That might be by design - we know there were several iterations of the pumps. Literally every listing for aftermarket pumps says 3116, 3126, C7.
That's...
I just checked and it went through but didn't show up in my Venmo account till 7pm - I went to the PO at about 3pm so it hadn't hit my account yet. I'll get it shipped out ASAP.

TM's are just a matter of asking the right people. You won't find them available for "download" because the newer stuff (A1, A1R, etc) are not just simple documents. They are gigabytes of executable software and each vehicle platform is a plugin that has to be installed into the software reader...
My priority mail flat rate boxes will be arriving tomorrow according to tracking so everyone that gets their payment in before tomorrow when I go to the PO will get mounts shipped.
I think they would work fine. They would look a little silly on something like my 1079 where it already almost needs larger tires as it's a bit visually out of proportion...
To the weight and balance points - I can tell you from direct experience that these tires don't require balancing and...
Everyone in line for the first 50 sets should have a PM with payment instructions. If I don't receive payment in 10 business days I will put those sets back up for grabs.
And yes - additional sets were made in case anything goes wrong in shipping, etc. I anticipate that those who have...
I run 85 psi daily on my brand new Goodyear MV/T's. Currently CTIS is disconnected awaiting hub seals and new wheel valves but I did already reprogram my (factory) controller to run 85 psi on HWY mode. Higher pressure cuts down on heat and these tires are rated for 95 psi. With the CTIS working...
Watch this on testing voltage drop across your fuses to find the draw. I have some really nice schematics that have some of the circuits color coded if you need them.
They had "drawings" - remember they last made these in 2005. They had to create new tooling.
And as Third notes - it's only there to facilitate centering.
I installed a set on my rear A1R cab latch to evaluate and I'm pleased with the results over the last few weeks.
The locating ring on the bottom of the large mount is a bit shorter than the original, but this does not affect their operation. It's only there to center them during installation...
I drive my 2008 A1R daily. But it occasionally sits for days and has sat for weeks on occasion. I run the 4 battery system - my 6TL's are in good condition and I have the 260A alternator - If everything is working properly the batteries hold a charge no trouble at all for me. Something is not...
45 is pretty low at startup. Most people report 80+ on cold start. There's a current thread right now by a member with a 2001 A1 3126 truck that had VERY similar oil pressure and his oil pump housing was broken. The 3116, 3126, and C7 all use the same pump and CAT redesigned it like 4 times...
I suspect you have an issue with the injection actuation pressure sensor or it's wiring. The low +5v supply voltage code is making me suspect the sensor is going short circuit internally and pulling down the ECM's +5v sensor power supply although that only shows a single occurrence. I would be...
There's obviously a huge market for these. Aftermarket one's are everywhere and are CHEAP. I would not worry about it "working" - I would worry about the metallurgy and the heat treat of the gears and rotors, etc. Longevity might be the insidious killer here and the false sense of security of...
Note that the 3116/3126/C7 all use the "same" pump but there's been redesigns that may result in different part numbers.
If it came off a C7 it will work.
There are TONS of these pumps on ebay also. Here's a 2008 pump that looks nice and you can see it is the gerotor style (makes my hopeful that my 2008 A1R has this style already). Reputable seller by the looks of the feedback. For the ridiculous price I would be tempted to save the $500 or...
