Except the only thing under the pax dash with 1/4” lines is the fan control solenoid valve… dont see a leak there causing CTIS issues…
i should add that the A1R appears to have added a pressure reg in there somewhere to limit air pressure to the fan control, but still don't see a connection to...
What General Disorder said…. I suspect it is interfering with the data bus…. If it works fine without it connected, that is a likely scenario. Either it is the issue, or there is a buss issue and CTIS is the straw breaking the camels back…
Sadly 5 solids is an internal fault, so it definitely...
I was asked about a drawing for using this pump for both cab and tire lift. This drawing, and the parts described assume re-using the JIC4 hoses that are already on the truck. If you change hose end type, you will need to change adapters accordingly. The hand pump and the dual selector valve...
Yep. I have a Vanner 100A balancer/converter that I am going to install and disconnect the 12V truck load out of the middle of the bank. I will leave the alt 12/24 connected to the batteries, but only draw power from the 24V batt/alt output… The next step would of course be to shift to a...
Yep, that would do it, as would a temporary tap to the middle of your 24V bank. Even if you had a straight 24V alternator, you could still draw 12v from the middle of your 24V bank for a short while, to get you where you need to be in the event of a 24-12 converter failure.
They actually make...
Back on page 2 of this thread Built MFG put a link to their excellent writeup on the subject.
if you have an A1 with 12v switched ignition you can modify the procedure a little to get turn signal power automated like brake power.
if you have an A0 you can easilly convert the work light relay...
Yep, I believe this was actually a tool kit item. You connect it to the rear red glad-hand and turn on park and trailer controls to send air to that glad-hand… you of course need to chock the wheels or have someone in the cab to hold the brakes when you do this.
I made up one of these...
Oh, and if the wet tank isn’t dry, you have a dryer problem Or you are overflowing the dryer(leaks or too much air hose use:)) old style dryers are easy to clean/service.
Yep the LBCD and disconnect relays were a bandaid put in place because of the root design problem, the gross mismatch of a 240AH battery with a 100A combined alt…
Gauges and trans are 24v, sounds like you are dropping 24v after startup. A bad power/ground connection leading up to the power panel could cause volt drop as soon as you try and pull current thru it. The lbcd/ppd connections being out in the weather are likley candidates… could also be bad...
Sort of, but not quite… A better description would probably be A0.5 - A1R.
Every A0 has a TB1, it figures prominently, with many of the circuits distributing power thru it In some fashion. I see no reference to it in any of those 84 pages(Maybe I missed it:)).
The A0 also has no switched...
Yea coil spring will be a problem if you are planning on roof storage and possibly varying cab weights by a large amount. That is the tricky part with such a small amount of travel. a little weight change and you start regularly hammering on one stop or another… Or you select a spring rate so...
If you remove the spring, what is going to support the cab weight? I mentioned earlier I was weighing the cab at the back, it was for this same purpose, developing a cab suspension alternative as I am not sure I want to stay with air. My first weight measurements tell me each airbag/spring...
