    Eliminate the air/oil pump

    No they do not, single lift cylinder passenger side ~15” of stroke… the steering box occupies that space on the drivers side…

    Eliminate the air/oil pump

    Uuuh where are you getting 50”? 16 + 18 = 34”… and I am pretty sure the cab lift is only 15” of stroke, so I uses 33” of stroke to come up with 26cu/in of rod displacement…

    Eliminate the air/oil pump

    Power packer made a bi-directional version of that pump, with a directional control valve to the right of the pump handle. Add to that a two-way diverter and some flow control and you can also do away with that large manifold valve Just like I did. In the end I didn't like the small volume of...

    Eliminate the air/oil pump

    Hmmm. Something might be up with that calculation. Area is pi X R squared, so .5 X .5 X 3.1416 = .7854 sq/in for a 1” rod cross sectional area. That X 33” stroke = ~26 cu/in total displacement for that extended rod length. 35cu/in is plenty for both, but in reality, how often do you...

    Eliminate the air/oil pump

    The 1” rod diameter does not really displace that much fluid. For instance when you lift the cab you send .19 gal to the cylinder and because of the rod, it only returns .14 gal to the reservoir. The difference being around .05gal. The hand pump reservoir ID is ~3.75 X 3.75 X 3.25, or 45...

    260 amp alternator

    All of the lighting, ~32A on a M1079, ~28A on a 1078. On the A0, it provides the power for the ign switch and VIM(neutral start), which controls 24v ign power. On the very early A0, the transmissions needed 12 and 24, somewhere in the late 90’s Alison made them either-or, and later versions in...

    Mav’s M1088A1 Conversion

    if that part in the pic is identified as a thermal resistor, it is probably not for the ether system. On the 3116 the ether system uses a thermal switch(35F) in the coolant bypass pipe in front of the engine. On the early A1 like many early EFI systems, it has 2 temp sensors(thermistors)...

    260 amp alternator

    We loose a lot out of the dual volt running 60 of its 100A @12v(current limitations in the windings). With both legs Fully loaded by lighting and depleted batts, it is only capable of ~1950watts. 100A @ 24V is 2400W, so single voltage has ~19% more output available. if you are still running...

    260 amp alternator

    What Guruman said, not difficult at all. Ground 12 and 24v connections. It takes whatever is on 24v and outputs exactly 1/2 of that on the 12v lead. You can either connect it as a battery balancer, or use the 12v output standalone like any other 24-12 converter. I am still running a 100A...

    Updated manual(electric) CTIS DIAGRAM

    Yes, but wired this way it is a little more intuitive. 1. Turn on power switch. In my case this also powers the digital air gauge. 2. Select inflate 3. Momentarily press action switch to pressurize the system. 4. Read tire pressure on air gauge. From this configuration you can inflate or...

    1083 A0 Fuel Solenoid issue (3116)

    In the case of K19, you would jumper the 24V from the top center pin 30 to the pin directly below it, 87A(Shown in yellow below). With a jumper you can measure that 24v is actually being applied to pin 87A in the K19 socket. Using a jumper also checks wether the modular panel...

    1083 A0 Fuel Solenoid issue (3116)

    there is no 87B, only 87 and 87A. When de-energized, pin 30 connects to pin 87A. When the relay coil is powered the internal contacts switch, opening the contact between 30-87A and closing the connection between 30 and 87. Pin 85 and 86 are the coil connections. In the case of this truck...

    1083 A0 Fuel Solenoid issue (3116)

    Ok, you have 24V on pin 86 With ignition on? That should only happen when the start inhibit button is pressed… if it is hot all the time, it would energize K19 as soon as ign is turned on, and disconnect power to the run solenoid/TL28… And of course K19 is a 5 pin relay right?

    1083 A0 Fuel Solenoid issue (3116)

    The start inhibit switch powers the coil of K19. When K19 energizes, it disconnects power to wire 54 down to the run solenoid and applies it to its own coil to latch in the on/start inhibit position untill you shut off the ign switch. when you shutoff ign, This resets relay K19 to the...

    1083 A0 Fuel Solenoid issue (3116)

    Voltage is not considered good until it is tested under load. Resistance resists current flow NOT voltage. A bad/high resistance connection, like a kink in a garden hose, will still pass full voltage/pressure to the end of the wire/hose until you try and pull current thru it/flow water. Then...
