    M1078A1 cab and chassis electrical upgrades including AC

    Oh yea, wether it is right or not in the end is your buisness, but it won’t ever get to that stage if the Is are not dotted and the Ts crossed. had an approved set of house plans in hand that I brought back to the engineer for “recommendations” because his end wall roof brace design wasn’t to...

    Electric AC?

    Well a 12,000 BTU window A/C pulls ~1000W when cooling, and 40A@24V is 960W, so it may be reasonably close to 12KBTU A little anemic for a greenhouse of a cab like is found on the LMTV. Can your alt handle the extra 40+A @24v load? Have seen a few now who have gone the rooftop A/C-inverter...

    M1078A0 Parking Brake Diagnostics

    you can only have VENTED covers on the front glad-hands! IF YOU HAVE SEALED COVERS ON THE FRONT, that is part of this problem, a leaking check valve(directly below red glad-hand behind bumper) to the wet tank feed would be the other part.

    M1078A0 Parking Brake Diagnostics

    From the park control in the dash, a line runs down to the floor forward of the brake pedal/steering column. If you remove the grill you will see that it runs over to one input port of the top 2way check valve up behind the drivers step. the other input is from the front red glad-hand. The...

    Diagnostic Plug on a 1998 M1078

    I think the drawing is a little off, which is not out of the ordinary for that manual, but I am pretty sure that is the same 6 pin Deutsch test plug that we are familiar with. The 24P identifies it as J117. 48 PAOZZ 19207 12421844 .CONNECTOR,RECEPTACL (J117)........ 1 and a...

    Allison code 6600

    Well with Allison doc you can program different target and max RPMs, but if you have 2:1 hubs/7.8:1 axle ratio, it probably won’t shift any smoother until you put 2.5+ tons in the back… The Allison is constantly learning/refining its shifts, its base program looks at the engagement speeds and...

    Diagnostic Plug on a 1998 M1078

    It appears to be in the 24P manual(they both are deutsch and GM connectors)… In the end they use the same 4 pins. +DC, Ground and two serial lines
