I agree with @GeneralDisorder, if you are concerned, block heater. We owned CAT equipment years ago and ran all through moderate winters with a spray can of ether. Black smoke and 'marbles' each morning up and down the line. Just leave at idle until 'marbles' pass. You'll be waiting for air...

Of course, our PDP lid labeling, the PDP, and schematic don't all match— According to the lid label: 24v Ignition CB 81 may also be a spare—

We found the J62 plug (schematic 9/232) at the cab's back wall does have power when the rotating (CB 38, K13) light is switched on. So, at least that circuit could become an aux lighting circuit very easily—

Looking through the schematics (20040129 version) at what each CB is connected to has me rethinking some things for new dash power: door locks, power windows, power mirrors, dash camera, and back up and side cameras. It appears in our M1078A1 we have a number of totally unused circuits in both...

Received a Blue Sea split bus fuse block we plan to mount on the rear wall connected by 1/0 wire from the PDP 24v BAT (X1) terminal, (using the route the radio wire took between the doghouse and seat). Will have a 1/0 branch to a Victron Orion DC to DC 24v to 12v 70A converter then 4AWG to...

It doesn't look like there is much clearance between the habitat and the rear tires. Is there enough up travel articulation for traveling uneven surfaces?

I am thinking about running two split bar boxes: (12v battery and ignition; and 24v battery and ignition) to the back wall. Other than diagnostics like a Bluefire and a couple of charging ports (which I plan to relocate off the existing 12v battery plug in the passenger footwell) I don't have...

So, you also ran a 12v ignition fed to the driver's side?

I like this split bar one: After thinking I could adapt the unused PDP slots to new uses I realize your suggestions are cleaner and easier to document/isolate when gremlins appear. Now I am pondering either one split by 12v/24v battery or two 12v/24v each split battery/ignition. Forcing me...

What did you tap for 12v to run the Bluefire?

Thank you. I do have mud now. I'll try that and report back so we'll know if we should add to the list—

Thank you all. Good comments and solid advice as usual. We'll button up in the morning and drive to lunch with friends. Maybe even try to test the ABS system on the way. What a great forum, I am grateful for you all. It would have taken much longer with less confidence without your cajoling...

Maybe. The light was off until we replaced the ABS light circuit breaker which had been removed. Since installing a new circuit breaker light has been on. The DPA III+ has been finding faults with voltage or open circuit on ABS while all other ECU's reported. Replacing R12 and R13 (both...

Well, of course it was not just R13 under the PDP; R12 near the Cat ECU is also looking like blackened redfish, in and out. So, the question is since everything works, EXCEPT ABS do/did we have: 1— old resistors that died; 2— a bad ABS ECU; 3— a bare hot wire grounding out? I am not...

New resistor arrived and tested, isolated, I wanted to check before removing the PDP again. It looks like we have a winner. I hopefully that is our only ABS issue—

Thanks for sharing. May want to add one to MV of the month?

Certainly. My thought is an electric DC compressor will be more effective and efficient than one driven by AC or an engine driven compressor. 1– on a vehicle, not connected to shore power, a DC system avoids the loss of conversion to AC; 2– an electric compressor can run without the engine...
