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!"...
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...
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...
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...
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...
Ha! You must be the one, lol! I'll tell ya, this light is absolutely sweet! I also saw the video on Youtube and thought, damn! that's what I need. I see your included schematic in the literature. Bear with me here, as I'm mechanically inclined, I'm new to this type of vehicle (which is...
Hey all! Has anyone used a COBO Remote Spotlight on their M1078?? Yes, I bought one off Ebay, brand new. Guy gave me instructions, and I believe I have the necessary supplies. However, has anyone DONE this before, and doeas anyone have a detailed presentation of HOW they wired it. The...
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...
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??
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...
Wonderful information AND pics of the job! Question for you since you mentioned CTIS manual system and well, wouldn't you know my CTIS ECU is "all lights on" bad: What system did you go with and how did you hook it up? I would truly like to have this working on my rig as well. Finding those...
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...
