What color were they flashing? They should be flashing green? The alt is a standlone device, the LBCD simply monitors its RPM and voltage output and commands the disconnect relay or lights the charge trouble light… yea the cab latch adjustment is mechanical, usually with the vertical...

That and operating them well outside the max RPM vs operating angle spec...

On a 3116 I would(and did) re plumb the engine cooling back to the way cat designed it. As it is now the plumbing sends all the bypass coolant down to the trans cooler instead of back thru the engine to get the engine to proper op temp. Running a diesel too cold is not good for it. As plumbed...

ours is a QS5, but there are QS3 and QS4 on Ebay for $ 50-95. Not sure how important the type valve assembly is, other than ours is 24V. The line size and number and size of the manifold nozzles determine how much is delivered . Even at that the A0 procedure has you applying it at about a 40%...

Like I said earlier, if the batteries are properly matched to the alt. 2 batts instead of 4, 100-120AH wet cell battery bank, the LBCD and the disconnect relay becomes unnecessary...

In the end CTIS doesnt know pressure, it knows voltage. It relies on the pressure transducer and its circuit to make that conversion…

Made by a company called Quick Start.

i’m 2 toggle switches, 1 pushbutton, 1 relay and a pressure gauge into mine… Just sayin:)

The LBCD controls that charging system trouble light. It is looking for an acceptable voltage when it sees the alternator over 1500RPM. greater than 24.5V if I am reading the Neihoff manual correctly. If it drops to 20.5v it disconnects the battery and puts it on a trickle charge. If your...

I have interacted with quite a few 5 solid light failures, mine included, and that is not counting the other intermittent failures that have not degenerated to a 5 solid fault(beat on the controller to restore ops for a bit:)). So I would say yes they have a fairly high failure rate across...

Well I have used windshield washer fluid in systems with metal parts, rubber pump seals, grommets and all rubber lines for decades, with no negative effects noted…

Yea Christians unit is cool, but for the ammount I will use it, 3 switches, a relay and a pressure gauge makes more sense to me... it is also nice to manually pressurize the system to look for leaks...

I would suspect something is shorted in the turn signal switch wiring…

I always found that style of troubleshooting a little arrogant. Oh there can be nothing wrong with our controller.., if the wiring is good and 5v source power is making it to the pressure sensor and it doesnt work it must be a bad sensor, instead of actually probing the line to see what the...

You would have to use a short pigtail hose between the PCU pressure port and the gauge sender. The way they oriented the port the bottom cover partly surrounds the sensor and The 0-100 psi piezeo sensors just barely fit… you could easily fit a mechanical gauge sensor line there. Isspro is a...

I think you may be overthinking this a little. RPM has little to do with this, other than in determining torque output at the engine. To perform a specific task, say pulling a 40,000# truck up a 30 deg slope, yes by removing the 2:1 at the hubs, you are doubling the torque applied to all the...

Ok, first off, you don’t have a VIM on a 2004. You have a trans keypad/shifter in the drivers dash and a trans controller under the passenger dash(where the vim was located on the A0). The A1 only feeds 24V to the transmission for both battery power and IGN. CB43 should provide the batt power...

The third planetary carrier turns the hollow transmission output shaft. The c6 clutch all the way in the back brakes the third sun to develop an additional ratio. I spent a day home sick once working it all out and had all the interactions in my head, but have since brain dumped that info:)...

If you drop to two batteries, you can get rid of it entirely. The main purpose of that relay and the LBCD that controls it, was to disconnect a faulty battery from the alternator when it fails, to keep it from damaging the alternator and allowing you to continue the mission. if you properly...

So put them on, if you don’t like them you can always put the spiders back on… unless you are contemplating a LOT of weight, I do not think you will be disappointed
