One of the wires for the dash buzzer routinely gets disconnected and taped up because whoever did it doesn't want to listen to the low air warning buzzer. Especially on the civilian side since most of us are keenly aware of the pressure in our air tanks and don't need the idiot buzzer.

It really doesn't matter...... it's a lot like an incandescent bulb - you need current flow. Same with the heater - if you want heat you need flow through the core. The direction of flow is pretty much irrelevant. It's just a radiator located inside the cab.

Wow. Such a mess. You can delete the polarity protection device if you don't believe you are silly enough to connect the batteries incorrectly like PVT Snuffy. GD

You can use the blower hose adapters from the heater unit so don't worry about that. You will have to bend the tabs a bit and crush them oval to get them in but it does work and in fact I had to do this on the passenger side due to the proximity of the transmission control unit. I looked in...

My only concern with that is pests climbing up into the unit. Have you called Red Dot?

The little one is a 40 lb Shepherd mix (German and Miniature) and she can jump in with no real issue. Sometimes she misses but she always gets it on the second try. She is 2 years old. The big guy is about 75 lbs and he is 1/4 Australian shepherd. He initially tried jumping in but failed too...

Nothing like a trained dog or pack of them to discourage unwanted aggression. My shepherds (2) ride shotgun in my LMTV and I have no worries about it's safety. The imposing nature of the machine and two unfriendly canines in the cab deter all interest in my experience. The dogs are big babies in...

They are similar to what is on the heater unit. They are the flanges that the ducts which direct airflow at the driver and passenger foot wells are attached to. In my post I made a note that you must use the duct ring from the heater unit on the AC unit for the passenger side duct since the...

It will be obvious when you pull the heater. The 4 pin connector matches the existing connector to the heater for fan power and panel illumination IIRC. The 2 pin orange and black is power and ground for the stepper motor flapper controls, AC compressor clutch, etc. IIRC the black goes to...

Here's my write up on installation thus far with all the parts from Waterloo. Definitely had the 4 drains on mine as well - had to drill out holes with a template. I just made mine from cardboard and that worked fine. I'm waiting on some official hoses and drier from Red Dot to complete the...

Well the GVW of my 1079 is still 5.000lbs higher than it's curb weight. So even with the enclosure bringing the curb weight up to 21.5k vs 17.5k for the 1-78 it is rated for another 5k on top of that. GVW on my 1079 is 25,980

My 2008 M1079A1R has no noticeable "rock and roll" on the road. Not sure what you are experiencing exactly but mine is absolutely stable.

The 260a alternator from Niehoff is about $3400 retail with regulator. You do need a different shock tower and different mounts and of course larger wiring, but I don't think that would amount to $12.5k

Oregon gave me a rash of shit over my truck and I wasted 4 hours at the DMV only to find that my money isn't good enough for the state of OR so I just licensed my truck in Utah with these guys: www.dirtlegal.com Cops don't give me any problem. I live literally across the street from my city...

Why would you do this? The auto is better in every single respect. 1st gear is your low range, and you have a torque converter so you can crawl at real low speeds. 3126b is not mechanical. It has an ECU similar to the C7. 3116 is the mechanical engine used in the A0 but the transmission...

Before you test for battery amperage draw make sure you pull all the circuit breakers in the M1079 van enclosure on the side of the blackout/emergency light panel. These power the relays that control the lights and they are energized even when the lights are off. There's a warning sticker to...

The ABS system is capable of modulating brake application, and when manufacturers implemented "traction control" it was basically just a software upgrade to the ABS systems. Which is why they did it.... it's not great or even good.... it's mostly a marketing ploy and it was essentially free...

https://elibrarywcl.files.wordpress.com/2015/02/diagnosticcodes.pdf Page 54 It does suggest testing for shorts to battery positive on the solenoids switch terminals. But otherwise this generally means an internal TCU fault. Can't find reference to a 4212 code. 6600 usually means the TCU...

Based on those codes the TCU is bad. The downfall of the 3116 FMTV's. The engine might be mechanical but doesn't do any good when the TCU fails. This was not uncommon.

First time buyers in a bidding war most likely. It's been to depot and looks like a solid runner but it's just a cargo, no winch, no AC, and a 3116 A0 truck. Definitely not worth the auction price or dealing with the EUC, etc. Anyone that's familiar with these wouldn't have paid that. I've seen...
