    Restart procedure post Overhaul. Won't crank.

    If you pre-fill the filters, it doesn’t take much to re-prime. It would take quite a few to fill dry filters…

    Restart procedure post Overhaul. Won't crank.

    Did you look at the run out of fuel video I did right before the primer C&I? That shows how you use it, and how it is supposed to work…

    Cab lift and spare tire cylinder replacement

    Yea this is not an RV slide-out that only needs a few hundred pounds of force to operate. Tons of electric actuators 100-1000# capacity. Pickins get pretty thin above 1K# of op force…

    CTIS bench test harness

    And that has been a fairly frequent question over the past few years, both here and in other groups since I joined this club. “My CTIS has 5 solid lights”, mine included… That failure alone in what is a relatively small community puts CTIS into the high failure category IMO, not to mention...

    CTIS bench test harness

    Any of the “bad" units that you have tested good have 5 solid lights?

    Cab lift and spare tire cylinder replacement

    yea a >5000# electric linear will be expensive. It may also not be very fast... There is a reason we do so many things with hydraulics:) Sounds Interesting, Good luck!

    Restart procedure post Overhaul. Won't crank.

    Well K26 is driven directly by the transmission. Do you have both transmission inputs, Battery and IGN? Allison controls some outputs by providing a ground, and others by providing a voltage. The voltage it uses for output is the battery input. Thats why the Vehicle interface Module on the...

    Check my YT channel username Rronmar. Did a vid on the typical primer issue and resolution. Not sure which port you pulled on the primer assembly, but that may keep it from working... 16-18 pumps to lift fuel from tank to primer with an empty line, ~20 more)with full filters) to feel...

    Intermittent Turn Blinkers & Hazards

    Remove the passenger kick panel. Its mounted to the underside of the dash. Molded aluminum case with heatsync fins and a cannon plug connector…

    Intermittent Turn Blinkers & Hazards

    well if brakes work while hazards do not, relay K-10 switches between the two, and since it energizes when brakes are applied, if it is a 5 pin relay(has de-energized contacts), that would point me toward the flasher assembly. You can simulate flasher input by disconnecting its connector and...

    What have you done to your FMTV or LMTV today

    All but one center rib and the wheel well half ribs are fit, most of the floor structural welding is complete.

    Intermittent Turn Blinkers & Hazards

    You might think it a noob clue, but there is no such thing. Observation is observation… Ok, the only relay indicators that would flash with Hazard or turn are the trailer light relays that switch 24v to power commercial 24v trailer lighting, K30 and K31. You say the green LEDs flash but does...

    Cab lift and spare tire cylinder replacement

    Strength would be a bigun… the rod end side of the piston(side used to lift the tire) has ~ 2.36 sq/in of surface area. It takes ~2200PSI to lift the tire, so that is 5,183# of force from the cylinder to lift the tire…

    Intermittent Turn Blinkers & Hazards

    Ok, as mentioned, grounding, or light sw, or flasher unit, or TS switch on the column Or hazard sw in the dash as it provides all power to the flasher… next time it happens note if relay K9 is energized or de-energized. It gets its power from the light switch via CB74 and it provides the power...

    When the TS don't work, does the hazard switch turn on flashers?

    Eliminate the air/oil pump

    @Primussucks thinking about this a little further the behavior you described leads me to believe that filler plug you show a picture of is not vented, if it is pushing fluid out the gap between housing and reservoir. if the pump and reservoir are designed to handle a certain amount of...

    Eliminate the air/oil pump

    only if everything continues to work perfectly. Any air leakage around the control or the rod end when it pulls a vac will mess with you. Thats why hydraulic systems are typically not designed to rely upon vacume, and only positive pressure displacement…

    R model FMTV Schematics

    The A1R uses data bussed gauges driven by a box called the MMDC, so adding another gauge would be difficult. You would probably have better success switching between two separate tank level senders... This sender switch function is usually incorporated in the tank switching function on...
