    LMTV CTIS Question

    I believe that is correct yes. You can access the wiring and wire in the switch. Like in tge drawing pic I posted, One half powers the CTIS controller while the other half powers that OFF light when you turn CTIS off. Most of the wiring should be in the main truck harness as it connects to...

    LMTV CTIS Question

    The drawing I am looking at says there is a CTIS off light(DS29). I only thought there was a ctis overspeed light, and on the A0 thats all there is. But apparently they were added in there at some point. @Wingnut13 that other harness is probably your issue. No telling what they assigned the...

    LMTV CTIS Question

    Well thats exactly what they did on the A1, a CTIS power switch. Depending on your vehicle, pin H may or may not be the power. I think they used power applied to various pins or combinations of pins from the sub harness to configure the CTIS controller for different applications. Different...

    ECO Hubs Who needs 3:07 gears?

    Yea, I THINK because of the 2:1 out in the hubs, the torque converter is really underutilized unless you are really trying to start a very heavy load. So you step on the pedal and the engine RPM ramps right up, and the turbine follows right along as you accelerate smartly because it has a real...

    ECO Hubs Who needs 3:07 gears?

    How was the 2-3 shift? I have a theory that our 2-3 will be nicer with this configuration due to the way the Allison brings on the lockup clutch in 3rd. Yea the fill is thru a inner to outer hub mount hole. The amount of oil in the rear is not so critical, any extra you add will just flow...

    ECO Hubs Who needs 3:07 gears?

    I am setting up to do some before and after 0-60 accelerations and hillclimb/start tests. Unfortunately I have to put my cab suspension back together, and I want to get a tach working first before I begin. I expect it to accelerate atleast the same, and I expect I will run out of traction...

    What is the CAT part number for 3116 fuel primer?

    Here is a pic of the underside of this style primer/filter assembly. Mine has a hinged assembly, but still held in place with a Phillips head screw. Trust me when I tell you it is real handy to have a primer in the system…

    What is the CAT part number for 3116 fuel primer?

    The filters point up, once full, they will stay full… The primer isn’t there to fill the filters anyway, it is there to fill the fuel lines and gallery in the head. If you have ANY sort of leak, the fuel lines and gallery will drain their fuel back to the tank. You will then crank and crank...

    Check engine light comes on when fan off switch is enabled

    Or in the interim, round up a cat tech, take the truck to them and have them scan it and analyze what the code is when the switch is engaged. The cost of one session however could equal the cost of the laptop and interface to start doing it yourself… The ECU provides the power to control the...

    Adding an in cab inverter to my M1083 A1, electrical wiring questions

    Well its only 250W or ~10A@24V, You could probably get it from under the power panel. You could probably sample it from the 24V ign point on the power panel with no issue. Then it would be available when ign was on. You could also draw power from the 24v batt terminal on the power panel and...

    1078 A0 engine starts, runs for anywhere between 8-30 seconds... [newbie ? buried in a long post]

    you probably couldnt use it with the inline primer though, as it would not allow enough flow. That is why our primer setups have that flapper bypass valve, the lift pump moves a lot of fuel. I ran my return into a bucket once while testing, i didnt time it, but it put fuel in the bucket...

    Did you put the return into your can? These things circulate a ton more fuel than they actually burn:)

    Yea i have never played with a solargizer, but routinely get more than 10 years out of my batteries as I did with the generator sets I maintained. I have a tractor battery closing in on 17 years now(original battery on the tractor purchased new in 06). Thought I had an issue with it this...
