    Alternate Alternator Selection

    You have the single belt as well, I think this was a later model change. My A1R looks like the same setup as yours.

    Best way to remove the suspension squat sensor on the middle axle of M1088 (has braided wire loop on it)

    My 1095 2007 doesn't have this valve, wonder if they removed it when adding ABS?

    Eliminate the air/oil pump

    It wouldn't shock me if the pump had some issues. It was clear the shaft was painted over and then the pump used so that paint may be in the seals causing a leak. New pump is on order. Will try to rebuild this one too, looks like there is a retaining circlip or similar on the bottom.

    Eliminate the air/oil pump

    So with a vented cap on the pump, what's to stop the spare tire cylinder from leaking into the reservoir due to gravity? Edit: looks like as long as there is no air leak and the reservoir level remains above the return port, it can't.

    Trying to sort out my hydraulic system. Took out the air/oil pump and removed all the lines. Still have issues with hand pump overflowing, have a NOS one coming and I'll try rebuilding the one I have too. Here is the vented cap that's needed if you delete the air/oil system

    Eliminate the air/oil pump

    Air over oil is gone, totally removed from the system. The cab lock engages, but it takes those ~30-40 pumps to draw down the cab cylinder until it hits a "hard stop" where the pump handle doesn't want to move and the cylinder is at it's retracted limit. No sponginess in the pump handle present.

    Eliminate the air/oil pump

    Got my vented pump cap. Removed all air lift and air/oil lines. Also took the safety valves out of the spare tire cylinder as I occasionally have it lock up. Also checked out the manifold orifices and valves, all in great shape. All filter checked and clear as well. Having an issue with...

    LMTV Suspension lowering system

    Just cap off the two hydraulic lines going to/from the kneeling cylinders on the backside of the manifold. Oh, and supposedly unbolting the cylinders is a compete pain. Probably not worth the effort.

    LMTV Abs troubleshooting

    Good to know! Will try out the new lbcd and see if that changes things. It's also got 4x generic group 24(?) batteries currently so I'm not sure their performance

    LMTV Abs troubleshooting

    Awesome, that's the place I found. I have the 100amp alternator and it will not run (orange flashing) while the intake heater is on. Boy does that thing draw some power. May be over the safe limit for mine, your 260 would likely fair far better with no lbcd

    CTIS...soo close to working properly

    They are all connected, I wouldn't be surprised if you have some valve stem cores in your rear wheels.

    LMTV Abs troubleshooting

    Yeah I saw that. The back has no discoloration and the internal threads look good. I'm sure I could spend the time to fix it up but juice worth the squeeze for old caps... probably not. I see a whole load of them for sale from a vendor on eBay, although they don't look as nice condition as the...

    LMTV Abs troubleshooting

    Well that's a strange stepped stud, hard to tell but looks like there might be a bevel washer where that nut came out. Looks like the nut had to be epoxied while the stud was installed as well.

    LMTV Abs troubleshooting

    Well checked under the PDP and found a lot of power distribution stud nuts finger tight. Also some corrosion to clean off. Found paint under the chassis ground stud as well. Fixed everything but still same situation with ABS. The "ignition voltage" is still reading under the "battery voltage"...

    From fire truck to MTV

    Using the stock pump, waiting on a vented pump cap to arrive. Nice solution on the mount. I'm going to see if I can add the plate that went over the air/oil pump back on. Would give lots of protection and I like using it as a step :)

    The box will be about where that cross rail is in your picture, looks like still a few inches to that beam.

    What have you done to your FMTV or LMTV today

    I did that the other day, although I just tried to install it as fast as possible to save as much coolant as I could....works okay, was only a few seconds but you're right it comes out real fast!

    From fire truck to MTV

    Cut some isolaters for the box to frame interface from HDPE. Hopefully box to be mounted this week. Removed the air over oil pump and about 8 hydraulic lines I won't need (suspension cylinders, feed and return from aoo pump). Did have some issues with the spare tire cylinder locking up but...
