Here's my guess, the A1s are wired with some sense line for it and the A0s are missing the line or the 18 year old mechanics flubbed it when retro'ing the switches in. Just like my Allison panel dims when the lights are any position rather than dimming when the panel lights are on. So the...

"Flashes the lights when the power is first applied, then zero lights (regardless of headlight light position)"

I am half not surprised I guess. The guy on the auction said it was off an MRAP or whatever so the PSI it's programmed with for the highway is too high, so that's a big clue. He claimed it'd work on a 1078 though. The description is as below, which I include just for the interest of it. Maybe...

OK so did as advertised, rigged a winch line to the latch on the cab and then cracked the lines. I opted to do it on the back of the box. The cab lines are the topmost ones so at least that was easy. There wasn't too much pressure when it was all said and done. The cab is settled forward, I...

So even though my cab is stuck forward ha ha did not stop me from trying the new CTIS computer I got. https://www.flickr.com/photos/adventioneering/27703157996/in/dateposted-public/ Flashes the lights when the power is first applied, then zero lights (regardless of headlight light position)...

All these intermittent I-jiggled-the-valves-a-lot-and-then-it-worked stories sound more and more like contamination or debris in the system. So I have a helper coming today and we're going to rig the cab in case it tries to fall and then crack the low-side return line and then pump it to raise...

Perhaps you will enjoy http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?134791-Medium-Tow-Bar-Storage-Mount-On-Vehicle-Ideas I saw some guys that had mounts when I was down in the show this year in AZ. So they exist. Bizarrely the TM for the M1078 talks about removing the tow bar from the mounting...

Let us know when you figure out the signalling on the pressure transducer (not the pressure switch, the other one). I'm in the process of getting a new controller in so I can put a scope on it, but if you figure it out you'll save me the trouble.

As soon as you get a 25... you will want to air up someone ELSES rig.

Ha! I said the same thing about my LMTV.

Oh for the love... But let me guess, putting the scouts in school buses with no seat-belts is perfectly fine.

That works? Cool! I thought it just charged the ebrake circuit.

I did this today - I was already familiar with the procedure from other machines but I hazard to say it *sounds* a lot more complicated in text than it really is in practice. When you are there looking at it the truth reveals itself.

They should feel free to come over here and work on mine...

That's weird, the site is clipping off your 2nd line. As far as I know no you can't fill the service tanks from either set of glad hands. The front ones just run the brakes and the rear ones are downstream of the brake control valves and probably check valves. I find it's easiest to start it...

On the upside, this was a great opportunity to fix my throttle return spring and adjust the slack out of my throttle cable. Maybe my pedal will stop sticking down now...

I think tomorrow I'll rig it up and crack the lines and I guess we'll just see. And then I'll rebuild the manifold.

I think you might have meant 19-20.10 in -20-4. That's the one that details the three little check valves on the side. So you're saying that's what provides the backpressure to the ram, so if I just crack the hoses to bleed them it'll fall? There are the "cartridge valve" things too. 19-20.12

I've been through the TMs backwards and forwards. My problem isn't per-say taking it apart, it is how to get it so I can take it apart. Which includes the filters at the top because I cannot be certain they are not pressurized. Or that depressurizing the system accidentally by removing them...
