    Who are the experts on the Air compressor

    Well if the governor was not unloading you would probably see pressures above 125 on your brake gauges and eventually the pressure relief on the dryer would start venting... The governor on top of the air compressor has 2 lines connected to it. One is the sense line in from the wet tank that...

    M1078 no crank blows fuse

    When you turn on the ignition switch, k11 must energize, you should also see an oil pressure idiot light. If K11 energizes, it should provide 24V to TL162 on the start push button. When you push the button that 24V gets fed across to Tl163 on the other switch terminal, then down to TL33 on the...

    Air Flow CFM?

    magnet sticks to mine, 98 A0 With my filter relocation above the cab, I was contemplating fabbing a new one out of aluminum from turbo boot back to the duct that will run up the front wall of the habitat to the new filter location.

    M1079a1p2 strange starting issue

    Well there is the remote disconnect, ign and start sw pax wheel well, and another disconnect in front of your knees when seated. Are they all in the right place? do you have proper 12/24 voltage measured to chassis ground at the batts and thru the manual and remote disconnect terminals in the...

    LMTV cabin fan not working

    yea you should be able to lift the control panel out to access the fan speed control. I mentioned the circuit breaker it comes from farther up in this discussion. Those small lines on top of the engine are 1/8" poly/nylon lines. In this case they are the ether injection lines and run to a T...

    LMTV cabin fan not working

    well if the cooling fan solenoid is clicking and hissing that is a good sign. the wet tank needs to be above 85PSI in order for its protection valve to send any real airbeyond leakage) to the fan solenoid or CTIS. If you start the truck and get to full air pressure when you shut down the ign...

    Two Batteries Instead of Four - Issues?

    Well it utterly amazes me that everyone else in the world seems to get by with just 2..., And a 75A@24 alternator typical...:0 batt heat, block heat/webasto ect is how you deal with cold, AH is the crude way of dealing with it, and as demonstrated causes other problems if not done properly...

    Two Batteries Instead of Four - Issues?

    The 100A alt is just fine once you stop loading it's 12V output:) Once you switch the 12V loads to the 24V output(~15A@24V), 4ea 6T wet cells are looking a whole lot more acceptable. They will be looking for ~60A worst case during absorption, so with the 15A of lighting load@24V, you still...

    Two Batteries Instead of Four - Issues?

    If I were going to run 4 batts, I would isolate them with an isolation switch and charge them with a small DC-DC charge controller or a BIRD relay, like a house battery. That way they would not overload the 100A alt if they should somehow become discharged. but would still receive a charge when...

    Ether Bottle Question

    Yea hopefully they installed the storage plug when they removed the cylinder. i originally thought my cylinder was empty but someone had installed the line under a bracket, pinching it flat and blocking any flow out of the cylinder when i tried it.

    Two Batteries Instead of Four - Issues?

    look under the battery box cover, there is a diagram there... Remove either the pair of batteries towards the front of the truck, or the pair towards the rear of the truck and any unused connections and jumpers...

    Air Flow CFM?

    It is probably genetic, as the behavior and the practice is often passed from generation to generation:)

    Two Batteries Instead of Four - Issues?

    In the case of the 3116, There were a whole lot of GM trucks(box and small dump) produced with this engine. In fact, other than what cat decided to use in it’s own production equipment and configure as marine propulsion, nearly all these engines went to GM(Some found their way into ag equip...

    Air Flow CFM?

    Yep, scavenge. Many tractor/equipment filter casings employ a form of spin filtration to spin and settle out the larger heavier particles to a low/quiet spot(scavenge port)… the caution here is that the OEM particle separator output has a flapper check valve on it to prevent any exhaust carbon...

    FMTV MHC supply line connection.

    Yea are you trying to merge the 2 systems? Since the pump sets down in the reservoir, the AOP reservoir is maybe almost 1 qt? If you are thinking of using the HPU on the truck system, Most electric HPU’s have pumps way too large for the system on the truck so the restrictors that keep the...

    A Couple of Electrical Questions

    The shunt was part of the Specialized Test Equipment system. The sense terminals on the shunt run to the 30 pin cannon plug by your knee under the drivers dash… pull it… Since I re-orientated my batts with the ground at the front of the box, I was able to re-route one of the cables to or...

    Ether Bottle Question

    Yea steel bottle into a brass solenoid valve. hold the valve to apply a little more torque to unscrew the bottle. I would keep it for reasons mentioned… direct metered injection like this is the only proper way to apply ether, and is fully controllable with no real downside…
