Bottom of trans is the output speed sensor. There is a throttle position sensor on the engine it’s a box over the fuel separator with a cable that goes to the throttle. And the engine speed sensor on the bellhousing. The trans control is supposed to share sensor info with the ctis controller so...

Some trucks appear more sensitive to that sensor. It may be something in the programming. I have had trucks appear to drive ok with a bad engine speed sensor.

Should have grabbed yourself a free goat for your troubles.

I would think the trucks would need commercial insurance and the truck owners would need to be hired as the drivers. It wouldn’t work out well having some random person run the trucks. A few weeks of heavy use could really wear down tires and other consumables. This would need to be priced in.

I think the slave plug goes right to the batteries. Check it with a multimeter. If it’s live with the switch off then yes you can charge thru it. You won’t find that in the first gen tms. It’s not on first gen trucks. Only later a1 trucks that have the batt disconnect box to the right of the...

Yes a old style switch will swap right in.

Pull out the banjo bolts see if someone put regular bolts in their place.

Got any pics of the air cooler installed?

I would use a multimeter to check and see.

I dont see why you cant extend the exhaust up somewhere high with a flapper on top. Need more info on the truck though. 04 is probably a 3126. 6x6 is 330hp. Does it have the higher speed gearing installed? What is actually done to the truck other than a fancy paint job? I saw he had some with...

I dont have any left. They were all gone some time ago.

Very nice write up thanks Will

Take off the banjo bolt. Rubber band a plastic bag tight over the bolt and hose. If bag expands over time then air is leaking thru the valve. Very common the valves corrode inside and go bad. If by chance someone swapped out the banjo bolt for a regular bolt that can cause a flat also.

Over time the tube with fins air dryer dosnt do it’s job putting moisture into the air system and gunk builds up in the inversion and anti compounding valves. I replaced both of them and the treadle after that situation. There is a thread from a while back same thing happened and I caused an...

Ok. So the lmtv can suffer from an intermittent brake loss situation. I always thought it was loss of spring brakes and only the service brakes were functioning. Maybe I had it backwards and the truck would loose service brakes and only the springs were working. In that situation you still have...

Only the rear brakes have springs. Air keeps them off. When in park it takes the air away and the springs apply the brakes. Same when you are driving and step on the brake pedal. The front brakes are only service brakes, the rears have a piggy back service system also. So when you step on the...

Pioneer makes speakers that are enclosed in pods they call them surface mount.

Bad O rings in the check cartridge behind the control that activates the airbags or the cartridge itself is bad.

The shore power is an input so you can run the ac without the gen. There is usually a 60a output connection. It is a 3 phase generator.

If you cap off the front service gladhand your brakes will not release. If you want to cap off the red emergency front gladhand, as long as the inline check valve connected to it is good then it will be fine. If the check valve were to fail you would loose your parking brakes if there is air in...
