    WTK: LMTV Shock absorber options

    Battery charging question.

    with that combo of switches you have an LBCD. Not that it matters which when it comes to just clean the terminals. Look for any hints of a burned up solenoid in the area of the switches by the battery box while cleaning all those terminals. Somewhere in here is an image of wiring when of...

    Battery charging question.

    sounds plausible. while you check the other voltages..... guess its back to cleaning all your grounds and wires between battery bank and the solenoids etc. beside them (disconnect switch area) and the LBCD connections. PS- "cold" intensifies connection issues.

    Battery charging question.

    If you have the 260amp alt.... no "need" to go go 2 batts. Not too many A1 C7's in civilian hands. You got a sweeet rig once you get her figured out. on the regulator pretty sure your era truck would have the two LED's on the alternator voltage regulator. Red and Green I believe they are...

    M1078 remove 2 batteries

    IMHO if your leaning toward swapping to a commercial 200amp alternater..... get a bussman....... but.... take some time if you got it and watch ebay. They pop up at real good prices few times a year.... if your diligent you can save some funds.

    Battery charging question.

    When your running it we need to know what the colors/ patterns of LED lights on voltage regulator attached too the alternator are flashing. Also what does the Dash volt meter say exactly.

    Battery charging question.

    A1 came with both 3126 and C7's. Yours being a 2006 A1 w/C7 changes EVERYTHING about charging compared to 3116. except DONT CHARGE LOOOW BATTs VIA ALTERNATOR. Do with a wall charger as mentioned in earlier post.. (one bat att a time) Crud.. hard as hell to search the internet for two...

    Battery charging question.

    you got lotttttt of reading ahead of ya lol. DON"T ALTERNATOR CHARGE if you got any of them low stop the truck. Charge one battery at a time with 12v charger. Take each one to be tested individually. if you got two good batteries out of the four..... remove two of the four and run off two...

    I always overthink things... Help me decide on a platform... (It's a long read)

    nice look. Maybe consider spray or brush it with fire retardent.? Unlike regular construction wood; think it has no fire-retardant-ish stuff done to it..... read up on it?

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

    yes air activated; but that is controlled by an electric air solenoid.... so maybe call it a hybrid electric/air controlled? Defaults to on if air is not supplied.

    LMTV FMTV Exhaust Brake Questions?

    For everyone's clarity... true for A1 and A0???. (as long as A0- does not have have PTO in Allison TCU thus can't link pacbrake to it?)

    Is there a trick ?

    Glad to see the Pin conversation.... but for different reason that hit on in here. When folk switch their pull valves on their A0 to the dual unit like in the A1's they invariably cut out a square from the A0's face plate and plop the dual valve setup behind that. Never understood why folk did...
