    2003 1078 A1 derated ether start

    well the only solenoid involved in the HEUI system is a pressure regulator needle valve. The ECU monitors pressure and modulates the needle valve to regulate the HPOP engine oil pressure between ~500 and 3000 PSI. The piston relationship in the HEUI injectors multiplies this HPOP pressure 7X...

    2003 1078 A1 derated ether start

    OK, I completely lapsed on the fact we are talking about an A1 here... Must be getting old:) A1's(3126/C7) are Hydraulic Electric Unit Injectors(HEUI) so are EFI... They do not have or use a governor or a run solenoid. The ECU simply stops firing the injectors to shutdown just like any other...

    MiniGun LMTV FMTV

    but once tuned, they are really good at going between point A and B with relatively predictable characteristics… it just seemed like it took a long time to pop up… “hey where’s the gun” Taps toe for 2 minutes…:)

    MiniGun LMTV FMTV

    You could probably replace the linear actuator with a small air cylinder. That could give you a snappier pop up and down… very cool!

    LMTV Frame twist

    4 anchor pockets(3x5”?) welded to the upper 6” frame channel near front and rear. The rear crane lift point is also incorporated into that upper channel just forward of the rear wheel. The box is attached to a box tube subframe that has 4 feet that rest in the pockets on 1/2” rubber pads...

    Step 1: Find exploded parts diagram in 24p manual diagram(#136 in this case), note diagram numbers 2 and 10 for the seals. Step 2: On the next page note the P/N for those particular diagram items. 1205-C-2005 and 1205-B-2004 respectively. Step 3: google those part numbers… Many listings on...

    2003 1078 A1 derated ether start

    The one on my LMTV has two terminal posts… on the A0 they chained the ground connection on over to the water separator bowl heater. The other terminal is also tied into the STE wiring, up to that large cannon plug under the drivers dash…

    Just the button air valve for the AOP control… You looking for the start-run solenoid on the back end of the governor? #1 in this pic? Google 1255772…

    LMTV Battery Replacement 24 Volt

    Probably should clarify what you are using as a power source and how that 3rd battery comes into play. Generally speaking it is not advisable to mix and match series string battery sizes and battery chemistry, as it makes it virtually impossible to balance the charges…

    No rear marker lights power

    year and model? pushbutton or 3 lever lightswitch? So taillights, brake and turn but no rear markers? Hmmm do the reverse light work? All the rear lighting grounds thru TL 97 which is located I think on the drivers side frame to the rear of the axle under a 10Mm bolt. if the other rear...

    Bricked ?

    Marine as well. Have used self vulcanizing tape and scotchkote to create weatherproof electrical connections for decades. Only drawback it has is that it is difficult to wrap properly in tight locations...

    LMTV Frame twist

    Not utterly unimportant to everyone. height was pretty high up on my list also, which was why I converted the upper frame into the floor(mine is different than everyone else's too:)). If you take off your bed, stand on the frame, that is ~3/4" lower than where my finished floor will be. my...

    Bricked ?

    if using the bussbar extenders, I would probably slide a piece of rubber hose over nut and bolt and as much of the bussbar as I could just to remove any potential for them to come into contact with each other or anything else. no fuse-able links at this point if something contacts them or they...

    LMTV Frame twist

    "flexing will occur at the point of least resistance". Yes and no... What also determines this is where and how the force is applied. This can be an issue with the 3 and 4 point engineered subframes, as they concentrate all the force from the habitat mass into those 3 or 4 points. if not...

    Bricked ?

    Two batts are definitely a better match for the 100A alt, and more inline with typical automotive power system specs.

    Bricked ?

    The remote disconnect relays can fail(Especially the older model). I would simply bypass it, as it is not used for normal operations and is only controlled by the LBCD when it senses the alternator is overloaded(tries to save a very expensive alternator from a grossly oversized battery bank)...

    2003 1078 A1 derated ether start

    If the primer is working you should feel it moving fuel on a completely dry line in ~17-18 pumps. Here is how you test the primer and clean the bypass valve…

    M1078 LMTV will not crank

    Unless you are drenched in seawater or sweat, you are going to have difficulty hurting yourself with 12 or 24v:) rule of thumb, never complete a circuit with any part of your body When working on ANY circuit. One hand in your pocket, other hand only touching the Plastic handle of the...

    M1078 LMTV will not crank

    Ok, you have an A0. You need a couple specific things to come on/go click when the main switch is turned on. Oil idiot light, K11 and K24. I suspect they are because if they were not you would not be getting a click when you push the start button. if the click you hear when pushing the...
