    Power Distribution Panel repair

    The colors of the Dill Blox locks matches the stock parts in my truck. Honestly, Littelfuse were the ones that I found first. Just a word on reconfiguring the blocks, you can get away with removing and inserting a single block (not a double-wide block) in the corner of the entire array if you...

    Power Distribution Panel repair

    Here's a catalog of parts for the PDP https://m.littelfuse.com/~/media/commercial-vehicle/datasheets/automotive-fuse-holders/powr-blok-modules-datasheet.pdf Most parts are easily available online, I used Mouser. I reconfigured mine to add more fuse spots for auxiliary circuits and a 12v...

    Looking for a manufacturer of this "grommet" type of stuff

    Look for "sheet metal edging". I bought some on amazon but they're out of stock. https://www.mcmaster.com/sheet-metal-edging/profile~u/

    M1088A1 Spaghetti Monster

    I can't confirm on my truck as those cables are in a tote somewhere but I'm pretty sure based on the schematic Sheet 17, grids C145 and D145: TL41 should go to the +12vdc lug on the back of the PDP TL42 should to to the +24vdc lug on the back of the PDP The TM's have great troubleshooting...

    M1088A1 Spaghetti Monster

    Nice, glad it's all coming together and that makes sense about not knowing where things go. I'm not sure about P99 either. My CTIS harness is missing as well. Post up if you find a source for a new one!

    M1088A1 Spaghetti Monster

    I don't say this at all trying to be condescending but have you seen sheets 2-5 in the schematic? There's a list of all the tags, plugs, receptacles, relays, CBs and their corresponding grids. (y) 210 and what is likely 209, 209A or 209B is for the options panel. This is a separate...

    M1088A1 Spaghetti Monster

    I don't have the starter switch or the buzzer handy but check schematic grids 123A and 110H, respectively. WK is the warning light, G is the gauge signal. You can make out the WK in the epicture below but be sure to look at your sensor(s). Look on sheet 21; grids 186F & 186G PX50 = Axle...

    M1088A1 Spaghetti Monster

    Look in the back of any TM, there should be a schematics section. Sheets 12-15 show the dash components and corresponding plug numbers.

    M1088A1 Spaghetti Monster

    Ooof, I don't envy that mess, I'm also surprised that nothing was cut! I have a lot of my dash taken apart at the moment (M1083A0). Holler if you need pictures of anything in particular and I'd see what I can do. I'm pretty sure this is on the tractors only, it's a switch for the stop...

    Ship a MTV from PA to CA

    I certainly don't know the ins an outs of shipping. If you can find a driver directly, you'll pay less but I wouldn't know where to start. That's why you'll likely have to look at a freight forwarder. You can post on bid sites, I think Ironplanet had a suggestion or 2, and they will bid on...

    Anyone have a pict of the back side of the air tanks?

    I assume the hose on the left is the CTIS supply. Color me curious where your small question-marked line goes. Let us know if you trace it out. The cab suspension, fan supply tubes are that size but they should be connected to the pressure protection valve.

    New member - I'm in it for the long haul - My BAe 2009 - M1093A1

    Wow, tough crowd. I'm not sure what MME service includes, if anything but I doubt it's a full rebuild on the axles, not for $30k. It says right on their website, very clearly, no warranty. I'm glad to hear the MME guys are helping, they've always offered top notch service & parts for me...

    Rear window seal lock

    I searched high and low for a rear window seal lock. Mine was rotted into a bajillion pieces. McMaster PN 1350N19 is the best fit that I have found. You'll need slightly over 6ft per window. This is a .21" diameter rubber rod, durometer 75A. 1/4" is too big...

    M1078 Circuit Breaker Schematic/ The Quest For

    Check page 1741, or at least that's where it's at on my PDF of that TM part number. It should be 'foldout 17/40" in any of the manuals It would behoove anyone who wants to troubleshoot electrical in these rigs to familiarize one's self with the grid system. Look at the numbers at the bottom...

    Can the transmission cooler be flipped upside down on a 1083?

    Is it necessary? The truck is rated for5 tons and towing another ri-donk truck. If you don't intend to load the transmission to that extreme, can you just get rid of it? There's a tranny cooler up front and the 4x4's don't have the secondary cooler.

    m1078 No reverse wiring?

    Schematics are in the back of all of the TMs. I think your 2 is a P; P87. Power comes from circuit breaker 73 (Zone E159). The switch is in the controller (zone B190). Wire number 490 comes out of the WTEC II, P33 then thru J51 (Zone D52) to P51 (Zone 226) then plug P87 to the light (zone...

    M1088 camper conversion

    Nice work! Thanks for the update! I do 99% of my work solo, I feel the struggle. I totally dig the stair concept. I'm much more fearful of someone stumbling down the stairs that you typically see on these types of campers when the door is 5+ feet above the ground and no railing.

    Just Another 1088 Overland Build

    Your build is coming along at mach speed!! I can't post links to IG on the forum but there's someone on there that ryhmes with, jvlandreneau. They've changed trucks so you might have to scroll back a bit but they had a rack like I think you're building. I ran mine up the front, slightly...
