    1998 M1078 A0 Wiring nightmare?

    First gen truck. Mechanical engine. Put fuel in the tank and pump away at the primer. Its a recirculating system but sometimes you have to crack a line at the fuel pump to bleed it a little.

    1998 M1078 A0 Wiring nightmare?

    You may never know why the harness was hacked. The first gen truck dash harness and power panel is one piece. If the harness is cut it all needs to be replaced. What year is the truck?

    1998 M1078 A0 Wiring nightmare?

    First thing you need to see if the engine runs. 24v at the fuel solenoid and starter and you can crank it with a clip lead at the starter solenoid. I would check fluids and filters first.

    The black panel is a1 c7 data bus with wtec4 or 5 keypad. Won’t work on a first gen 3116 truck or an a1 3126.

    804A with ~52hz and AC undervolt?

    There are adjustments on the governor module. I think one of the tms has the procedure. I had a gen once that someone had turned all the adjustments all the way down.

    Where to find Allison transmission specialist?

    Sounds like the trans fluid pressure is set too high. There should be some type of adjustment for that. Either mechanical like on the older allisons or something thats done thru programming. Will

    Air Chamber removal question

    You can use a small hammer and screwdriver or blunt chisel to loosen them sometimes. If you can get in there with a large pair of channel locks that sometimes works. Sometimes you can spin the whole assembly loose. Sometimes they are corroded and painted over and you just have to keep working at it.

    LMTV/MTV A1 - Battery Cable Info

    The only truck I have on hand dosnt have a relay box next to the batt box so that wont help. Go to the polarity box under the spare tire and use a meter to trace wires back to the cutoff relay and then to the batt cables. There should still be a big 24v to the starter and I think there is a big...

    1995 M1078 LMTV Transfer Case Removal

    I have not separated the two but I do know there is a larger catch screen on the solenoid pack. You will want to drop that down and check there also. The trans and transfer share fluid. If the material is in the filter chances are its throughout the whole trans.

    contemplating LMTV or FMTV purchase

    The lmtv is roomy and very comfortable to drive. Dosnt bounce all over the highway like the m939 trucks do. Has 3 bucket seats with shoulder belts. Modern trucks have more electrical than older ones. I don’t think they are hard to fix once you understand them. Dosnt look as mean as the older...

    FMTV - 24/12 Converter instead of the Niehoff dual-voltage alternator?

    The surepowers divide. Your output will be half your input. I believe you can run it equalizing. Keep your 12v off the battery location and switch the converter 12v out to the batteries.

    FMTV - 24/12 Converter instead of the Niehoff dual-voltage alternator?

    It will work fine. I have 100a surepowers in the classifieds that will do the trick. You would need to install a contactor relay to disconnect the 12v converter output when the truck is off.
