    Custom winch wiring.

    That is correct, the lockup clutch is only engaged in 3rd gear and above(truck in motion), and it stays engaged 100% of the time untill the trans shifts to 2nd. here is the input end of the Allison,3000 series, minus the housing. It shows the input flex plates and the input flange on the...

    Alternate Alternator Selection

    The green bracket in your earlier pics is not a pad mount as the Neihoff alts used on the LMTV are ear/pivot mount alternators... That yellow cat part is a pad mount adapter...

    Where is the CTIS function troubleshooting section in the TM's?

    With supply air connected to PCU, disconnect the line coming out of the PCU what runs down to the dump valves. What comes out of that outlet port on the PCU when you close control and open the supply solenoid(wet tank must be above 85PSI). That output port feeds the dump valves for each axle...

    Best way to remove the suspension squat sensor on the middle axle of M1088 (has braided wire loop on it)

    Yea I think ABS supersedes it. Same on my wife's 4runner, no load proportioner on it, ABS instead… still have one on my same year pickup(non ABS)…

    Alternate Alternator Selection

    Yea its a gimmick… the system has a added box that monitors alternator load(LBCD) and will disconnect the batteries using that disconnect relay, from a running alternator when it is overloaded by the oversized battery bank, and puts the batteries on a “trickle charge” to save the alt from the...

    Alternate Alternator Selection

    Yea that does look like a different mount than the earlier version I showed. Looks like the positioning bracket is under the alt instead of on top of it…

    Alternate Alternator Selection

    It depends on how you care for them. I have a battery on my diesel tractor that has been in service 19 years. My longest auto battery was in a Eclipse, 15 years, my last pickup truck batt did 12…

    Alternate Alternator Selection

    Here are some pics from a facebook group. Basically you cut a notch in the mount to accommodate the rear mount tab. In the first kit that notch is circled in red. The other areas circled in red were done to allow the alt to roll in as far as possible. The person who did this was...

    Alternate Alternator Selection

    You will need to fab a mount or I have see the green mount modified to accept the tabs on a commercial alt, and a top strut added from the top of the alt to the front of the water pump/engine. I will see if I can find you a pic, I saw one just recently.

    LMTV Suspension lowering system

    Well there is a parts list in the video description/comments, but I don’t think the diverter was in there As I am doing my tire differently. Here is a drawing that shows the diverter part Number and how it is plumbed. I did not replace any hoses, and depending on where you put the pump, you...

    Best way to remove the suspension squat sensor on the middle axle of M1088 (has braided wire loop on it)

    Front to back. The front axle weight doesn't change that much, so those cans get the pressure the treadle valve sends down to them directly. The rears only get a percentage of treadle valve pressure depending on how much the suspension is being compressed by the load carried… common item on...

    Best way to remove the suspension squat sensor on the middle axle of M1088 (has braided wire loop on it)

    No, that biases the rear brake pressure to help keep you from over braking the rear and locking wheels when you are light... as you add weight it progressively adds pressure to match braking to the added weight/traction...

    LMTV Suspension lowering system

    The ports on the valve and cylinders are all SAE-4. There is a SAE-4 - JIC-4 adapter in each port to adapt to the JIC-4 hose ends. You can get some SAE plugs, disconnect the hoses, remove the dapters and install plugs at the valve and cylinders...

    Eliminate the air/oil pump

    I bet there is enough restriction somewhere, or there is leakage in the valve or pump or even around the rod end of the cylinder and it cannot pull enough vacuum to suck fluid thru the pump into the rod end of the lift cylinder as the cab lowers. Pretty common, hydraulic seals are great at...

    LMTV Suspension lowering system

    Well if you are not selecting the kneeling system on the. valve, there should be no flow there, so that speaks to a control valve issue. Unless using the hand pump, its output checkvalve should halt a y flow back.into the hand pump, but the shaft seal still should not be leaking. If you are...

    CTIS...soo close to working properly

    Like I mentioned above, you must feed them enough air to hold the wheel valves open, but less than the current tire pressure to get them to dump. A good way to do this is disconnect the output line from the PCU and connect an air pressure regulator and a source of compressed air. Whatever you...

    CTIS...soo close to working properly

    All the axles are plumbed together. There is a dump valve for each axle that connects to each hub/wheel. The line out of the PCU runs down to a T connection right behind the transmission on the passenger side. One leg of the T runs forward to the front axle dump valve(right side of trans)...

    Eliminate the air/oil pump

    Thats because your pivots or front bushings have an issue. If everything it tight and right, they go up and down square on one cylinder…
