    I will have to look for it when I get home. the one where I am holding the connector with the arrows to the pins? And What General said about the sound under the dash at shutdown, fan control solenoid...

    M1079 start button won't trigger the starter.

    Ok, for a 98 with WTEC 3, when you turn on the ign sw, K11, K24 and K26 in the panel must energize. K11 and 24 are controlled by the oil pressure sw, so you must also get an oil idiot light. K26 is the neutral start relay controlled by the trans controller. K24 and K26 provide the path for...

    Restart procedure post Overhaul. Won't crank.

    Thats exactly what they did. The A0 specced 4 different type relays, 12-24, 4 or 5 pin. Using the resistors on the 24v control circuits they can spec one type relay 12v 5 pin…

    Cab tilt question.

    Almost looks like the bend angle is the worst/aligned with the fore axis when the cab is raised. what does the angle look like when the cab is lowered. there is a good view with the grill removed when lowered. yea the long slot is to allow cab suspension travel, but the control should be in...

    The vent they are probably referring to is over on the second fuel filter boss, large hex plug up on top. on a non return system like on my tractor you would need a vent to purge air. On our looped/return system, they are designed to self purge, so it is just as easy to simply pump any air...

    Cab lift and spare tire cylinder replacement

    Because of the crane arch folding back over itself to cradle the tire, it kind of limits the size of the actuator, unless you really lengthen the structure to move the base attach point. This would have the advantage of an actuator with a longer stroke with the attach point farther up/out on...

    CTIS bench test harness

    Yep, would be very interesting, but considering the 5 solid = fatal fault coming from the manufacturer does not indicate this is possible… but they are in the business of selling modules:)

    What General said, they should have used the word drain. You open the drain and use the pump to pump out the water/fuel sample from the bottom of the filter bowl. That is actually one way to confirm if your bypass flapper is sealing. If you open the bottom drain, nothing should happen except...

    Cab lift and spare tire cylinder replacement

    Yea this is not an RV slide-out that only needs a few hundred pounds of force to operate. Tons of electric actuators 100-1000# capacity. Pickins get pretty thin above 1K# of op force…

    CTIS bench test harness

    And that has been a fairly frequent question over the past few years, both here and in other groups since I joined this club. “My CTIS has 5 solid lights”, mine included… That failure alone in what is a relatively small community puts CTIS into the high failure category IMO, not to mention...

    Any of the “bad" units that you have tested good have 5 solid lights?

    yea a >5000# electric linear will be expensive. It may also not be very fast... There is a reason we do so many things with hydraulics:) Sounds Interesting, Good luck!

    Well K26 is driven directly by the transmission. Do you have both transmission inputs, Battery and IGN? Allison controls some outputs by providing a ground, and others by providing a voltage. The voltage it uses for output is the battery input. Thats why the Vehicle interface Module on the...
