    M1089A1 Trans Cooler Question

    On the 4 wheelers, the trans fluid flows forward thru a heat exchanger on the lower radiator pipe, dumping its heat into the coolant that is headed back towards the engine. The cooled trans fluid then flows back to the trans. Basically the same as any automatic trans pickup… On the units with...

    M1089A1 Trans Cooler Question

    The 1089 has a liquid heat exchanger/cooler down between radiator and oil pan like any other LMTV, so you shouldn’t be overheating just the trans if you are not working it hard enough to need an aux cooler. If I recall correctly from a discussion with a gentleman who was relocating the aux...

    Fmtv no more dual voltage

    Most everything except the lighting is 24V, but the main ignition switch uses 12V to energize the control power relay (K02) that powers all the 24V circuits… Here is an abbreviated start circuit diagram I condensed from the A0 tech manual. You might need this When it comes time to start it:)...

    Fmtv no more dual voltage

    If you are missing the other smaller device in the above pic that Ohiobenz posted, that is an instrunment shunt, used to measure current flow. It is placed in the main ground line between battery and starter and can measure crank current and total alternator output back into the batteries. The...

    Fmtv no more dual voltage

    Yea, that is the polarity protection box. It is just a set of diodes that prevents batteries that are connected backwards from doing damage in the cab. To get you off the lot, it can be bypassed, just don’t hook up your batteries backwards. In the attached pic, connect the wires circled in...

    CTIS help

    Actually looking back in the spicer manual there is a caution against controller disconnects, so I stand corrected. In the case of this CTIS troubleshooting, securing the main sw will serve the same purpose. If it secures the tire deflate, the controller is most likely providing the signal...

    Hooking LMTV to shop air for CTIS troubleshooting

    Hooked to the ctis port on the wet tank the air will get a chance to shed moisture in that tank. The times I have applied air to the truck I have not noticed any moisture buildup in the wet tank, but other than when filling tires I havnt run all that much shop air thru it..

    CTIS help

    I believe superman has seals and valve cores for the main body, but they are pilot operated valves, so there are seals on the solenoids themselves and I don't know if he has those or not.. he may have a whole PCU, but you will need to contact him…

    CTIS help

    Since it does not have a shutdown sequence and it is secured by simply disconnecting the source power, I would find that highly unlikely. An unplug or shutoff from the main switch, does the exact same thing…

    Need oil pressure sender LMTV

    Yes. The gauge, when powered, sends current from the sense lead, thru the sender resistance to ground. With nothing connected to the sensor lead the gauge should read zero, if you ground the sense lead it should go to full scale… Yes. The gauge, when powered, sends current from the sense...

    Hooking LMTV to shop air for CTIS troubleshooting

    The front red/emer glad-hand feeds two places. 1. Thru a check valve to charge the wet tank. 2. The upper 2way behind the drivers grill/behind drivers step. Sounds like tgat second line or the fitting at the 2way is leaking…. It only sees pressure when you feed air into the emergency glad-hand.

    Think you got that backwards. The emer gladhand that pressurizes the system and releases the park brake is on the passenger side service glad-hand that applies the service brakes is on the drivers side…

    Hooking LMTV to shop air for CTIS troubleshooting

    Yep, front emergency(red) glad-hand charges the truck air system. use a regulator set to 120 PSI. It also releases the park brake, so chock the wheels… Applying air to the front blue service glad-hand applies the service brakes. The problem with troubleshooting CTIS is it works in cycles, so...

    CTIS help

    If it stopped dumping when you disconnected the controller or shutdown, that actually sounds like a controller issue, not a PCU. Shutting down/disconnecting should remove all input from controller to PCU. Without input the PCU should stop whatever it is doing and vent any pressure, which...

    CTIS help

    That relief Just screws into the PCU, but It sounds like it is working correctly. That is how it holds the truck side at 6-8PSI to keep the tires deflating. If you hold it in, the dump valves will feed tire pressure back to the truck side, without that relief venting it, the truck side will...

    CTIS help

    The thing with the wires is the fan control solenoid. They are on all the time, unless the fan is on, so getting warm is normal. There are 3 solenoid valves in the PCU(under that bottom cover). The PCU vents into the plastic cover on the bottom. There is a hose attached to that bottom cover...
