    Turn Signal Issue

    Well if it is just the right front, what does the dash right turn arrow do? Does it flash reliably/consistently when commanded? what happens when you turn on the hazard flasher switch? I said the fronts were pretty straightforward. The signal goes from the flasher to the hazard switch...

    Turn Signal Issue

    First off, what exactly is it doing? The signal system is complex mixing 12 and 24. Intervehicular signaling. But the fronts are probably the most straifhtforward part, so need to know exactly what is happening...

    ECO Hubs Who needs 3:07 gears?

    Yea if it was a traditional rear wheel drivetrain/4WD transfer case system, traditional matching locking hubs in the front might be applicable. but it is not, so they are not…

    New M-1083 owner. So, here we go!!

    If it is doing it unloaded, it is probably leaking back thru the dryer outlet check valve in the upper dryer housing… there is a large nut top center of the housing with an elbow screwed into it. If you disconnect the outlet hose from the elbow, and unscrew that large nut from the upper cover...

    Cab tilt question.

    Yep, the cam in the end should stay pointed at the cab floor as the cab rotates. Its purpose is to ride in the long slot in the rod end when the cab is lowered and floating on the air suspension. As you raise the cab it should rotate with the cab into the short slot. This allows the cylinder...

    New M-1083 owner. So, here we go!!

    Did you put an Oring in the groove on the new purge valve assembly? There is one on the old valve in your pic, but not on the new valve… When the governor reaches set pressure, it unloads the compressor and sends system air pressure down to that little plastic line attached to the bottom of...

    Cab tilt question.

    A little side probably isn't a problem, the pivot structure is fairly rigid, and the cab after all is lifted asymmetrically from one side anyway, so it has some tolerance in this regard. As Chucky mentioned, you don’t want the front uphill. By design, the lift rotates the cab a few degrees...

    M 1078 front toe spec

    Chapter 13-5 in the manual has a horrible description of measuring toe-in(says to install the gauge at the bottom, measure there then roll the vehicle forward, which would put the gauge on the back side and probably in conflict with the driveshaft), but it states toe-in should be between 0-1/8”…

    ltmv ctis differential vent valve

    The way CTIS works is the PCU send pressure thru the dump valves, thru the hubs to the wheel valves. The wheel valves are remote control valves. As soon as the truck side goes above ~5 PSI, they open and connect tires to the dump valves. The dump valves are the key to how things are...

    ltmv ctis differential vent valve

    You have a bad axle seal. There are a set of seals in each hub that allows air to connect between the non rotating axle housing to the rotating hub. Bad seal allows air to flow from CTIS passages into the axle housing which then escapes thru the vent…
