Tentatively I believe the issue is resolved. The LBCD terminals were NASTY. Most especially the lowest one, which is the 12v batt connection. It looked like either mud wasps or capacitor electrolyte leaking...... Also the top and the bottom studs are slightly loose in the housing of the unit...

I have performed a lamp test and all the lamps work (and all the lamps are populated). I don't get any indication on the dash lights - just the two voltage gauges read battery voltage. Which indicator lights up in response to a LBCD overload? I'll go for a drive tomorrow and note the lights on...

Well..... that would be excellent but this is a C7 truck with a serpentine belt. Looks to be in good shape and I don't have any reason to believe it's slipping. I've located the Niehoff troublshooting docs and I have a few things to check like the connections to the LBCD, and the 24v supply to...

Currently has a brand new N3221 voltage regulator (2012 vintage I believe - was new in the box with papers). The truck had a 2013 regulator when I picked it up in Houston. It died about 100 miles from Portland - 2600 miles into the trip back. I put in the brand new spare and drove the last 100...

Ah yes that makes sense with the jungle camo. Could have been in Korea. Forgot we are still in that theater watching the north :(. GD

Interesting. Was it just logistically unfeasible to send this truck in for updating? Im genuinely curious of what metrics they use to decide it's not cost effective. My tax dollars at work and all that..... GD

Oh interesting! That's about $165,000 adjusted for 2008 Inflation. $210,000 in 2021 dollars. But that's only adjusted for inflation. Not considering the C7 engine (perhaps more expensive than the 2116?) with it's EPA certs, and this 2008 model also has the high-pinion rear axle (center axle from...

I'm just trying to get an idea of what the original purchase price to the military was on the M1079... I'm buying a 2008 from Wehring at the beginning of October. It looks like the van shelter was actually made by AAR? Would that have been purchased by BAE and installed on the chassis or...
