Here is a link that has all the info you should need. Error codes, fluid type and a bunch more info. http://www.utxchange.com/pdfs/MechanicsTips/MT2923EN.pdf This is what Allison recommends for DexIII fluid. Here is a good example of fluid, DexIII (C4)...

I believe the troop alarm/intercom plugs into the plug to the left of the hydrolic unit. There is a similar plug to the one on the cab.

That's a fisher XtremeV2 9'6" (uses the same minute mount II push plates as all fisher plows do) They sell an extension kit for it, to make it 11'3". The kit comes with a stop (block) kit that keeps the wings from being pushed back to far and harming the cylinders. It was T-shirt weather here...

I've heard older Volvo blanks work well also. I haven't had a chance yet to have mine done, do to the lack of a locksmith nearby. It's on my list though. If you have one of those inferred thermometers, they come in very handy for checking hubs, brakes, engine and driveline. Good luck on your...

Looks nice. should brighten things up for sure.

How is the plow setup doing? I moved my F350 to my friends garage to separate the transfer case from the transmission so I could put a new gasket in. I was then able to park my M1078 in front of my plow where it's easier to plug the block heater in. It really got me thinking about putting my...

Not sure how much the Fuso weighs, but the M1078 is pretty heavy to start with. My M1078 climbs my 1/2 mile driveway very well though. 35 degree mudy slope with 1ft ruts in spots (right now) So it does handle off-road well. As far as loads go, 10,800lbs of gravel is about all I care to haul in...

I still need to replace my service and trailer brake handles, that and paint some other interior parts. Hope this is helpful to others if they need to pull their heater units. All in all it wasn't to hard to do.

On the inside the CTIS has to be unplugged and taken off (there is a ground wire that goes to the bottom bolt). The plate that holds the service and trailer brakes also has to come off. But first the handles have to come off. These are held on with push pins. I couldn't get my push pins out and...

The cab latch works now. It was low on hydrolic fluid (I should have checked that first). To get at the 8 bolts that hold the heater in place you'll need to take the front grill off. You'll find your 2 heater core lines there, and 4 of the 8 bolts that hold the heater in place. The cab will...

Door seals and heat make a big difference. I'll post more pics when I get somewhere with WiFi

My NOS heater unit showed up today. This unit was a great deal compared to the used ones I've seen going for a lot more $. They also packed 3 insulation panels in the box. I'm not sure what they go to yet, but I plan to look up the pn.

Back to my heater unit. The fan switch works, I can shut the fan off and turn it up. I am missing the fan knob but I stole one out of a junk car that's working for now. The heat pull knob pulls all the way out and pushes all the way in. The vent pull knob is stuck in the out position. The...

Thanks Suprman. The door pull, I have never seen one online for sale. But I'm fairly confident I can fab one up fairly easily. (I'll have to dig the forge out) I will update this weekend when I figure out the heat issue and cab lift.

Then my pin is out. But when I try to lift the cab the passenger side tries to raise and the drivers side seems to go downward. Like the latch is still locked. The hydrolic pump starts out fine, then you can here it slow down like it's under to much load. Even trying the hand pump it won't lift...

Passenger side tries to lift, drivers side doesn't, so I'd say the latch is stuck. I tried gently tapping the button in with a ball peen hammer. It will go in, but as soon as a friend tries to raise cab the button pops back out, even with me trying to hold it in. yes I ordered the seals on...

No I haven't had heat since I got it. I just installed one of the zero start block heaters. My coolant level is center of top sight hole. This is when I discovered my cab latch (lock) is now sticking and won't allow me to tilt the cab. I was still able to lift the rear right hand side...

M1078 No heat (fixed with pictures) My blower works and my heat lever is pulled out but I'm getting no heat. At the moment I can't lift my cab to check if there is a gate valve closed, that would prevent coolant from reaching my heater core. (I did however find some great info on here on how...

Looks good. cant wait to see how it works.

It handles the 4yrd loads (10,800#) well. It was the 5yrd load that made it feel tipsy. I did think of sidewall roll, but my CTIS was set to highway. I haven't tested the actual tire pressure though. The rear tires were squatted some. I do plan to cut my subframe, behind the compressor/spare...
