yep, lead acid capacity drops off steeply with temp, but not as steeply as lithium:) At 20F a lead/acid only has ~75% of its rated capacity, and that is its current rated capacity IF fully charged. An older battery will have a lower capacity to begin with. if you were going to make a habit...

Springs, plural. There are 2 on the governor end, one inside the other… ideally, when you use one of these lubricators, when y0u inject on one end, you should see it come out on the other. You can also flush dirt and contaminates out this way. Several good dry lubricants out there as...

Cat liscensed HEUI to ford for the powerstroke...

I played with this on a Ford power-stroke. Same basic components. it has a sensor that reads HEUI pressure and a pressure regulating solenoid valve PRV, that the ECU modulates to vent/regulate hydraulic pressure to maintain pressure according to program. An issue with the earlier powerstroke...

Drivetrain 101 for a 4 wheeled vehicle: 2WD = 1 driven wheel out of 2, with a 50/50 torque split left-right In that driven axle. Either wheel slipping will allow all the torque to escape there. AWD = 1 driven wheel out of 4. Torque is biased fore-aft 30/70, and 50/50 left to right in each...

Well it is here in the tech manual section… in the back of tech manuals 20-1.pdf thru 20-5.pdf you will find the wiring diagrams https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/m1078-tms.118919/

only if you could get one at a lower cost than a tabbed alt. not sure if you still wouldn't need a adapter plate to hang a pad mount alt. lots of pics of OEM 3116/3126 engines with alts to look at online, but most of those also incorporate a upper fan mount bracket and I think the pad mount...

You would have to lock the center diff in mode, otherwise all the torque woukd escape out the front transfer yoke. This would also limit you to 5th gear... but doable...

LMTV = full time AWD, so all tires the same diameter is the best way to go…

Is the pressure still 7-8? How did you increase the pressure? The air that the relief regulates during a dump is fed back from the dump valves under manual control when you open the deflate solenoid, PCU pressure drops to that relief pressure and the dumps exhaust Trying to get the tires to...

I don’t have an intake heater, but that symptom also speaks to a bad connection between alt and batteries. As the inlet heater pulls current, the voltage drops and the battery and the alt should share that load. A high resistance connection back to the batteries would shift more of the inlet...

Yep, because the controller is not seeing what it expects to see, ~6-7 PSI. But the plumbing portion won’t care, and would cheerfully deflate the tires to that 20PSI relief valve setting:) So what pressure are you seeing during deflate, and how are you measuring that pressure?

At those voltages, 50% SOC AGMs should have been gobbling current… your current was fluctuating because the voltage was fluctuating…

Filters are between the wheel valve and the tire. They would not effect valve operation, only the tires overall ability to transfer air. a wheel valve not closing after a cycle is probably due to A restriction on the truck side of the wheel valve. Basically the truck side cannot vent cleanly...

I only glanced at this, and mainly read your description and missed the low current. I agree with Lostchain, that this does not make sense. alternators do NOT control current, only voltage.voltage in relation to a batteries state of charge in turn controls current delivered. When an alt...

Well a 98 should have the black modular power panel, not the green printed circuit type. On the A0 P31 is indeed the engine connection to the 3116 sensors and controls. On an A1, I am not finding P31… closest I am finding is PX33, which is the shift controller connector…

Well if you have already swapped the reg on it, probably not as it probably has a chassis fault:)

Well looks like a bad alt to me:)

Wow, thats a big difference. It also appears that the Bendix pivot to actuator distance is larger, further reducing the mechanical advantage of pedal to actuator … which is probably why it was designed for 3” more pedal lever length:)

Hmmm… 98 with a 3116, but an A1 power distribution panel?
