    I promise it's not another battery thread...

    So I've done the "Big Swap" or changeover to the fabulous, more appropriate 2 batt system for my M1078. No sweat, some research and fabricating: Good times, right? Well, I thought so. Upon completion, I went through double checked my voltages and connections, say "Hey, let's turn her on!"...

    Replacing the tires

    I believe he's referencing the split rim o rings...inexpensive and when bad or deteriorating...leak. Also: banjo bolt crush seals...replace them now as an added precaution. I personally use an impact bead breaker tool with my impact gun...the ken tool breaker is also fabulous. Tires are...

    COMPLETE CTIS delete and removal on M1078 (A0)

    Actually, would NOT mind having it. My box is fried and as of late I'm busy getting tires on this baby (not for the faint of heart), just did a really nice battery box transformation to 2 Gp31's, and then doing all filters, zerks, fluids, etc.. The fact that I haven't been able to focus...

    COMPLETE CTIS delete and removal on M1078 (A0)

    Ah...I should truly have been more clear in my motives. I having not looked at my TM's yet regarding this, but I simply thought getting rid of the CTIS(which is not functioning for me at any rate) would allow me to "free up" that tap on the wet tank. Having not yet read my TM's, I would have...

    COMPLETE CTIS delete and removal on M1078 (A0)

    In regards to the "standard delete" (I'll call it), where as best as I can tell you simply remove the brain box possibly w/ harness I'd assume and then get some plugs for the wheels and...voila. However I have plans for some additional things I'd really like to use that wet tank port for where...

    Okay, too be sure: I can completely remove that factory harness (minus the two white power leads) and use my determined length of CAT5 cable?

    '97 M1078 air/hydraulic unit

    Well now, I see the very spring you mention here. Honestly, my friend, I cannot say with a degree of certainty that I recall putting that spring in there. However, I'll also say that I do NOT recall taking one out of there when removing that particular item either.....hmmmm. Well. I'll be...

    '97 M1078 air/hydraulic unit

    Now that is interesting information! I happen to have an extra spring in the box o' parts in fact, yet don't recall any spring coming out of or with the pipe on removal, however. I presume you mean the short pipe that runs from the box which the lines run into??

    '97 M1078 air/hydraulic unit

    Hey all! Recently, I spent a Saturday rebuilding the air/hydraulic unit with a complete (the big one) kit from MRO Supply. While I know I didn't exactly need to change every part in the unit, I ended up changing I'd say...97% because it just felt good to do it. The issue I originally had was...

    My man! Yet another reason I am so blessed to be with this group! In the coming 2 weeks, I'll not only be rebuilding the air/hydraulic unit but going to Tractor Supply it appears. Thing is, this damn boom was working before when I didn't have a tire on/in it. Meaning it worked for...
