My first LMTV- M1081- I’ll need your help.

I bought my first LMTV. Can you tell me what this is in the picture? I removed the batteries and I have the batteries charging. It appears one may be bad. Thanks in advance for the help.

Thanks Keith.

I would add that it is for wet cells. Unless your batts have caps to fill/check electrolyte, it is useless

Thanks Ronmar. I appreciate the clarification.

My air compressor hoses on the bottom of the governor and on top were disconnected when I bought this truck. I have no clue why. Should I just reconnect them, and go from there? The braided hoses on the bottom tha lt come from the governor go to the wet tank? Does it matter which hose goes where? Thanks in advance for your help.

Yes it matters. One is the air sense line in from the wet tank. It actually connects to a T down beside the engine/trans on the line from wet tank to front red gladhand. That is how it measures the wet tank air pressure.

The second line is an output from the governor. When the governor unloads it connects that wet tank pressure to that second line which connects to the dryer. Pressure on that second line causes the air dryer to purge any collected moisture out of it’s sump. So the air dryer should purge/go whoosh every time the wet tank reaches 125PSI and the compressor unloads...

One more question. Both of the small hoses are disconnected on the governor. Can you tell me which hose is in the front? Both hoses appear to be the same size.

Thanks,
Paul
