    Alternator Suggestions?

    I don't think we have any suggestions. We used Dynamat Xtreme under the doghouse in the engine compartment, then added Dyna Core under that next to the engine. We have also added Dynamat Xtreme to the interior cab walls, ceiling, and door panels. Right now we can hold a conversation, though...

    Alternator Suggestions?

    We have a NOMADIC 24v rooftop unit. It hasn't made it through the summer as yet. Our charging system includes a 24v 200a alternator with 2 - 31's in series for the truck and another 2 - 31's inseries for the accessories, including the AC; each 24v battery bank separated by a Victron Cyrix -...

    Sitting for 5 years. Help me get it running?! Please!

    If you zoom into the PPD the bottom lug looks like only one wire is connected? The one coming in from the left doesn't look connected to anything?

    Would EcoHubs benefit from reprogramming Allison shift points?

    This may be related to the Allison comments of needing less gears. Their design encourages lockup as soon as possible to hold almost constant available torque through the gear changes. Keeping the engine in its power band as much as possible. You answered another of my questions about sitting...

    Would EcoHubs benefit from reprogramming Allison shift points?

    I'll also note in the video @Ronmar shared the Allison boys commented that the medium sized engines didn't need the 7 speed. And I think all of us with EcoHubs have shown that is true—

    Would EcoHubs benefit from reprogramming Allison shift points?

    We also have a 2003 M1078A1 (330hp tune) with EcoHubs We shift into 7th below 80 on our Bluetooth speedometer, below 75 on the dash speedometer. We like to sit in the 60-65 range (haven't added cruise control yet). At 62 in 7th we are at 1,200 rpm, 62 in 6th 1,500. She won't hold 7th at 60...

    Would EcoHubs benefit from reprogramming Allison shift points?

    Thank you for sharing @Ronmar, this was very interesting. The two items I most appreciate are: 1— the torque equations versus gear ratios at final; 2— the explanation how they start with matching low gear ratios and work toward lowering rpm's in to the power band at nominal speed. 2— made me...

    M1078A1 ABS Light on

    A 2007 M1078, is an M1078A1R isn't it? This truck should have a C7, MMDC, a different PDP, than an M1078A1 I believe—

    M1078A1 ABS Light on

    Does an M1078A1 have an MMDC? or would that be an M1078A1R or newer? The Additional lights and voltage drop is a weird symptoms. What lights, where did the voltage drop?

    M1078A1 ABS Light on

    The ABS light comes on, then off quickly at power up. Then if the controller is working you can hear the ABS system check front, back, front, back. Then if the system fails the light comes back on steady. If the CTIS controller is one from a unit other than the M1078A1, the pinout may be...

    Power Distribution Panel M1083A1 10/98

    Wire 3020 returns ground side from the indicator lamps to the lamp test switch. Unplug the indicator switch and see what happens? That should provide power to gauges still, gauge ground is on wire 3002—

    Power Distribution Panel M1083A1 10/98

    Not sure what "Dash indicator is Pacmaning" means X3 feeds CB77 to P301-14 to wire 1546 brings power to the gauges. Check the pins in P301? 1546 also feeds 24v to the 12/24 gauge switch—
