    M1078 abroad

    I have two lockers, but probably will only use one at my middle axle. Would be interested to hear more or, even better, a video of a lock up "kicking you in the ass" to get an idea of what you are referring to : )

    At the higher voltages, be sure to physically separate the wiring of the 2 voltages widely. GFCI and arc fault breakers are typically used. The smaller splits will do 120, but around 18k, you will need 220. Take a look at National Electric Code, particularly the area of bonding vs grounding...

    M1078 LMTV Fix-up Thread

    I looked at this, but ended up with the Tiger Tool. Found it used. Some people do not like U joint pullers, and just use brute force tools. If you use either, be sure to pull the zerks off first.

    Saving money on CAT parts

    Recently I replaced a pulley on my 3116. I priced it at a CAT, and it was around $230. Using this company I paid $65. Quality is good. Is aftermarket part. I have no financial interest in this company. https://aftermarket.express

    Have you checked your bellhousing for oil?

    It's a temp fix, that can buy you some time until you can pull the engine or whatever. If you have a blown trans seal, and use the Alison trans fluid, should be red.

    New Arduino-based FMTV CTIS controller ROCKS!

    Did you have a bad day or something? I said electronic, not electrical. I considers those connectors ELECTRICAL. I'm talking about chips and IC's, SCRs, diodes, transistors, etc. .
