    There are transmission exploded views like this in the 24P manual found with the other M1078/LMTV manuals in the manuals section on the first page of this forum.

    The top cannot move. The back wall of the cab comes down past the floor of the engine tunnel forming an inverted V when the cab is raised, to push any brace up into… onced pushed up into the V It locks quite well, had this one a little tight, was a little work to get it back out…

    Bracing the cab is not really rocket surgury. If it will still raise pump it over the balance point and put a stick in there. On level ground with the cylinder fully extended you can disconnect any hydraulic line you wish as the cab is hanging mechanically on the fully extended cab lift...

    M1078 Transmission issue/question

    Well they started incorporating the wtec3 mid 98. Is the display on the control pad wide/rectangular with blue-green color display, or is it narrow/square with red characters? Wide green display = 2, narrow/square display = 3… This is a C3 pressure sw fault. i see the note about possible...

    Transmission control panel is blank...can't crank anymore

    1. You must have 12 and 24 at the test points when everything is turned on. 2. You must have a transmission display To provide the neutral start contacts. CB 79 and CB22 provide 24 and12v power to the transmission. There are also two additional red 10A fuses in the VIM mounted under the...

    The few times I have had that strap fully extended, there was no action required to lower the cab, it simply folded as i started pumping the cab back over the balance point(no restraint whatsoever)… there is nothing in the op manual about any form of locking mechanism on these trucks, just the...

    Thats not an up lock, the only “lock“on this cabs motion is hydraulic, that and the raised position is typically past the balance point… That is a folding “keep the cab from toppling off the front of the truck if the cylinder or mount fail, strap” they do not normally fully extend as seen in...

    Unless of course it is the cylinder and rod end where you must be working. Raise the cab just short of the balance point, take a measurement from the top rear engine lift bracket to the top rear of the engine tunnel on the cab. Since the rear of the cab comes down past the top of the tunnel...

    Wiring Schematics for M1078 (1997 with new C7)?

    what General said, i think you are referring to the LBCD, and it sounds like something is not connected correctly from the batteries. You should have 12 and 24 connected thru the manual disconnect, thru the remote disconnect relay then on to the 12 and 24v batt terminals on the LBCD. The...

    Yep, have done the same type splice using the splice block wrapped in self-vulcanizing rubber tape(fuses into a single piece of rubber when it comes in contact with itself) and scotchkote. Makes a very durable connection. The gel pocket sealing the connection, protected by the plastic case...

    LMTV A1 fast idle ghosting

    Dirty or failed, what I am getting is 7KHZ differential solenoid PWM signal being fed back thru the speedometer signal lines. These 2 signals share a 4 pin passthru connection on the front of the transfer case. If you were getting something similar, the rogue speed signal input might be great...

    HEUI Troubleshooting - Injection Pressure Desired and Actual Mismatch

    Well the control valve pulse width should be inverse of the pressure, the higher the pulse width/duty cycle number, the more the valve is open and the more pressure it vents. so it is good to look at both the duty cycle signal and the pressure. With a low PW/duty cycle number, it was...

    LMTV A1 fast idle ghosting

    here is an alternate theory for you all to crunch on… I have come across a few people who have had intermittent issues with the transmission throwing speed sensor codes, myself among them when I select mode. What I am theorizing might be happening is that there is a weakness in the pass-thru...
