I have a 2003 M1079A1 and I upgraded the drier a couple years ago. Thanks for the info. Also I’ve been on this forum for7 years a didn’t know about that parts spread sheet. Very nice to have, we myself included need to add to the part # as it’s missing a lot.

Do you clean the filter or replace the filter? If replacing the filter can you post a part # please?

Any videos you know of showing how to service them?

I used all deutsch connectors. I would send pictures but for some reason it won’t allow it.

I have actually done this, but before this I had my 2003 M1078 at the CAT service for some code problems while there the uploaded my ECM data to a file with my name and engine serial number. After fixing all those code problems a year later the ECM died. During that year I had up graded the...

Yeah and that was 4 years ago!

My 2003 M1078A1 did that and it ended up being the Caterpillar ECM/ engine control module died. They say there is a small battery in the ECM and when that finally dies the whole ECM dies with it. It cost me $2,500 for a new ECM and to have caterpillar reprogram it. Luckily I had my vehicle in...

Out of the shop and everything running smoothly. Each panel has a peak rated power of 325 watts for a total potential 2,600 watts. But reality is you only get about 80% of the rated power so the most I’ve seen them produce is 2,100 watts. This is a screenshot of the Victron Cerbo GX that is...

I have as well.

It’s all part of the lynx distribution system. It’s a new device only about a year old. The smaller one is the lynx smart BMS / battery management system and the other ones are basically buss bars and fuses. It’s a really cool system everything communicates with the BMS and the BMS is everything...

This where I ran all of the electrical through the hull using Deutsch connectors. I made all the water and electrical connections to the habitat with connections that could quickly disconnect in order to remove the habitat from the frame if I need to service something. Basically I could have...

Espar heater/furnace installation. Through hull glycol pass through. rain shield covering the Espar furnace. The water heat exchanger and the space heater both using the heated glycol as the heat source.

Next is to start pulling wires.

Looking good.

Thanks, yes I custom made it.

So it’s been way to long for an up date, sorry about that other things tend to come first. The shower and wet bathroom. That’s a small/tiny sink on the right. The sink will get a granite top then the faucet. The small handle is for a hand towel. Also we will be putting granite on top of the...

Also just looked at the specs and the narrow one is 18” wide which could possibly be modified but in the stowed position it’s 6” tall which becomes in the danger zone.
