    2009 Lmtv M1078A1 Charging System

    What superman said. No lights on the reg means either it isn’t getting excite power from K11 after the engine reaches 15 PSI oil pressure, or it has an issue. Green would be good, yellow low volt and red overvolt. I suspect they are either not lit or yellow otherwise the volt meter should be...

    Oil bath front hubs.

    you are talking about both inner and outer bearings and hub gears oil lubricated? I suppose you could, you would have to adjust the oil level in the fronts to accommodate the added volume of the inner hub, capped ctis passages and bearing exposed by removing the plain and ctis seals…

    LMTV Cab Suspension Airbags Alternative

    Yea thats why I am going to move away from this configuration and move to much more common and available standalone bags and shocks.

    LMTV Cab Suspension Airbags Alternative

    Great, now if we can find where to buy these… It seems you bought the last 2 on the planet:)

    New Dash Layout in the works……

    I have operated a few pieces of equipment with filter-minder gauges over the years. I have never fouled an air filter bad enough to ever activate one:)

    LMTV M1078 Transmission oil confusion...please help!

    In addition to the torque conv, There is also oil in the cooler and lines. As mentioned takes a few drain/fill/run cycles to purge most of the old oil, that or a complete disassembly and teardown:)

    LMTV M1078 Transmission oil confusion...please help!

    Yea but in nearly every instance they use the same basic hardware and are serviced in the same way, so even if you have an A1, read the A0 manuals… the biggest difference is electrical, but even there there are a lot of similarities…

    CTIS and Arduino

    What makes them different is the vehicle harness. I think at some point they tried to make one controller work with and behave differently in multiple vehicles. iE: different pressure settings for a highway tractor vis a truck that may see more off-road time. I believe they did this by...

    LMTV M1078 Transmission oil confusion...please help!

    Yep, the transfer case on most vehicles is an entirely separate animal. On this beast, that is only partially true. The transfer gets fluid fed to it thru the transmission output housing, and they use a scavenger pump on the passenger side pto location on the transmission that pumps fluid back...

    CTIS and Arduino

    The A1R isn’t any different than the A1 or A0… same PCU using same control wires from the controller. Same dump valves and wheel components also…

    New Dash Layout in the works……

    Oh for CTIS, not yet. There is one for the original design on Youtube, that works fine. but I modified it to include a latching relay circuit. was sketching out another that uses a SCR instead of a relay, then had yet another idea that I have not had a chance to run to ground yet… some days...

    Steering wheel stuck on

    Yea I had to round up longer bolts than I had with my puller when I pulled my original wheel also, to get full thread engagement.

    New Dash Layout in the works……

    Schematics? We don’t use no stinking schematics:) to which setup are you referring? This kind of progressed as a series of small phases. The new gauges are all mechanical except the two oil temp units and the fuel gauge. I used existing gauge lighting power feeds for the new gauge lights...

    Winch install question/issue

    Yea there should be a roller guide back by the shock above the leaf springs that holds the cable in close to the frame at that point to guide it up thru that narrow gap between cab lift and frame structure…

    Newbie just traded for a M1088 starting restoration and camper conversion

    My truck was mostly stripped of door hardware when I got it, as they are high failure. I put toyota 4runner door handles on mine. Been running them for decades on multiple vehicles and have never broken one. Junkyards are full of them as they don’t ever break:) Fairly easy install, only a...

    New Dash Layout in the works……

    I ditched the filter-minder gauge for primary fuel pressure. I dropped out the round voltmeter for a dual led display unit that fits in a switch hole, and used the round opening to add engine oil temp. Over on the left I put in a dual needle air gauge and standalone low air switches to replace...

    Manual transmission LMTV?

    Yea the A0 PDP is not the source of the power issues that I have seen. The weak link in the PDP are the cheesy circuit breakers IMO. Auto blade fuses work great…. Having helped a few people with electrical issues, i cant think of a single A0 PDP issue, but I have helped several localize to...

    Steering wheel stuck on

    penetrating oil and as mentioned, load it up then give the center bolt on the puller a tap with a hammer.

    Removing LMTV suspension compression system

    Maybe:) the drivers side is the hard one, I had to make a tool to reach the bolts on that side…
