    ECO Hubs Who needs 3:07 gears?

    You cannot apply twice the torque to anything, because you do not have it available. With 2:1 hubs, if you are VERY heavily loaded in a max traction situation and against an obstacle/slope you cannot surmount you will apply all your available torque until you reach TC stall. All the...

    ECO Hubs Who needs 3:07 gears?

    Took me a bit to get my brain around your table, and your gear ratios are a bit off. 1- the transfer is not shiftable. It applies a fixed 1.2:1 to all the input ratios using 3 large gears. They took a 3060 transmission with its 6 speeds(our 2-7) + R and hung the 1.2:1 off the back end. In...

    BATTERY DISCONN dash warning light

    The battery disconnect light is controlled by the state of the disconnect relay in the box to the rear of the battery box… since all the 12 and 24v power passes thru it, if you are operating normally, it is obviouslay not disconnected, but that is where the idiot light is controlled from…

    CTIS spewing gear oil but controller not connected.

    Basically you disconnect the axle vent line and screw in a low pressure gauge. Then pressurize CTIS(you can do this with jumpers at the controller connector, or disconnect the outlet line at the PCU And connect an air pressure regulator set to tire pressure to pressurize the system. If you dont...

    Lmtv/fmtv air/crane attachment behind cab

    Perhaps, that is a heavy wheel assembly... I will be welding mine to the upper channel that I am converting into my floor structure. It will partially support my wheel, but I will also be adding additional steel plates diagonally upward thru my hab that tie the wheel weight back into the upper...

    Lmtv m1078 questions.

    The 2 square ones are not used, the white one is also not used, the two round ones are your turn signal flasher(larger 3 pin) and what looks like the PCU pressure sensor(small,3 pin). there is probably a round 5 pin kicking around in there also. The 3 airlines and that pressure sensor line...

    Lmtv m1078 questions.

    Yea a pic would help. They made this truck in several configurations, so there will be unused plugs under the passenger dash(chem detect, radio power, 1079 box harness ect) Being a 96 it would have, from left to right, a VIM, a turn signal flasher and a solenoid valve for the fan control...

    CTIS

    If the wet tank pressure sw is operating properly, closed above ~117, open below ~89, I would not call the pressure sensor bad untill I confirmed its input and output. The pressure sensor gets ground and 5V input from the controller on 2 of its wires(pins C and B respectively). and outputs a...

    Lmtv m1078 questions.

    What year is the truck(always state the year of your truck)? Is your power panel black, or is it a green circuit board? Pre ~98 it could be a vehicle Interface Module(VIM). Post 98 it is probably the trans control module. Pre 98 they put the wtec 2 TCU in with the trans control keypad, and...

    CTIS spewing gear oil but controller not connected.

    CTIS vents? The only CTIS vents I am aware of are the horns on the dump valves themselves. The dump for the front axle is on the right side of the transmission. The dump valve for the rear axles are located on a crossmember above the axle near the center of the chassis… on mine it is on...

    Lmtv/fmtv air/crane attachment behind cab

    I walked into it the other day, might be handy for “re-locating“ a shoulder:)

    Lmtv/fmtv air/crane attachment behind cab

    It was good to meet you as well. My concern is also weight, as well as height. i have no qualms removing my lift arch, although I am not really removing it as it is being repurposed into the habitat floor. As a rear “bumper”. That is where my taillights are going to reside. As some...

    CTIS spewing gear oil but controller not connected.

    The QRV/dump valve is a remote pressure regulator. Whatever it sees on its input port from the PCU, it copies on its output ports to the wheels. Put 60 psi on the input it will feed air from input to output untill output matches input. Lower the input side from 60 to 30, it will vent air from...

    CTIS

    You were able to work the solenoids using the jumpers right, so they are probably OK. The best test for the wet tank switch is at the CTIS controller connector. When the tank goes over 117 PSI you snould see it close and complete a low resistance circuit between pin T in the connector and...

    Radiator

    I have never seen one stop, i suppose if you had enough crap floating around in the cooling system, it could partially plug the hole(thats how the pepper trick works) but they still tend to leak/weep…

    Radiator

    I would clean it off and see if it reappears. Could be exterior moisture mixing with dust and or cleaning chemical residue. In my experience, rad leaks dont come and go:)

    Lmtv/fmtv air/crane attachment behind cab

    It doesnt have to be located at the highest, point, it just has to be plumbed to the highest point. The highest plumbed point on these systems is the small hose barb fitting on the upper tank of the radiator. It goes in and turns up right up against the top of the tank to get as much air out...

    Lmtv/fmtv air/crane attachment behind cab

    Yea they are good pull points, but you can add ones just as usefull that don’t get in the way of a habitat build. By pulling that stuff off of there I can fit a 17‘ habitat on a 4x4 and still keep the 40 degree exit angle… @ckouba You don’t really need to keep the expansion tank above the...
