    M1078 air leak behind grill

    Were pretty mowed they have had 4-5 new fires in the last hour with the lightning and high 50 MPH winds?? Has calmed down a lot no fires within 5 miles or so right now. It RAINED in the storm just enough to make spots. I stood out and watched for ground strikes and nearby starts. Do this every...

    M1078 air leak behind grill

    NOPE took the cover off the heater and controls and I stopped there. Bet there is nothing back there except 2 hoses? Had to put it together a wildfire broke out near us now out. Least I can drive it still the leak is not that bad and the compressor can keep ahead of it. Thinking this has to do...

    M1078 air leak behind grill

    Report so far? Checked all 3 tanks pretty even but low around 60-70 PSI what is interesting is if I watch the Cab Air Bags they lift about 1/4" then go back down while the truck is shut off? Just lifts a little and settles a little. My Tire Air System also started working again and if I remember...

    M1078 air leak behind grill

    Darn My truck just started this??? Went for a 30 mile drive after putting the old Speedometer back in and it now works right. The new Alternator solved that problem when the voltage was right. Was talking to a guy on the road while truck was running and my air buzzer came on idling? Only had...

    Bought new LED Head Lights to put on?

    Yes it slips thru the Head Light hole while bent a little till it go across the Turn Light. Then it just pops into the head light hole to stay there.

    Bought new LED Head Lights to put on?

    I have not tested the LED Head lights for heat yet but will. The covers were not intended to be on all the time but 99% of the time the truck is used is during daylight hours for me. Still gets dark real late this time of the year. They were for protecting the lights off road and other crappy...

    Bought new LED Head Lights to put on?

    I checked the laws heck they don't like LED Headlights if there to bright. Covers are OK if there not mirror shinny ect. My Lexan covers were meant to just slide in if I was going off road, brush or driving on muddy stuff ect. Takes about 3-5 seconds to install or remove them but they won't come...

    Bought new LED Head Lights to put on?

    This is just a piece of old Plexiglas I had to try a fit for a pattern. Real ones will be cut better. Seems to work like I wanted easy on and off does not touch the LED Headlight. The Lexan will be much clearer and nicer looking. Almost went with a light tinted grey but figured that would get me...

    Bought new LED Head Lights to put on?

    Making a Slip in cover for both the Turn Signal and Head Light that is installed thru the Had Light opening and over the Turn Signal Light. Using 1/8" little more flexible I made a Templet and it slips in easy. Going to us a tiny spacer to keep it from touching the LED Head Light surface too...

    Bought new LED Head Lights to put on?

    I have designed a Lexan cover that is cheap and easy to replace. Will show when I get the Lexan to work with. Not so much worried about busting them as scratching the Lens up keeping them clean. At this point I have owned the truck about a year and have not drove it at night? One day/night I...

    Bought new LED Head Lights to put on?

    No problem Lights get busted easy off road a $30.00 head light not so bad but $150.00 ones hurt. I have a spare on the way just in case that matches. Forgetting about the I got to have the "it is in style best" that is gong to cost you but I am more of a do the same job with less cost on the...

    Bought new LED Head Lights to put on?

    No fitment issues the 3 screws could be a 1/4" longer and you add the jack to plug them into that it. https://www.ebay.com/itm/163774966426

    Bought new LED Head Lights to put on?

    Solved the issue with the Head Light Ground on one side only. It was a busted wire inside the insulation at a crimp connecting the new jack for the LED Light! Took a while to find that one and it was Right in my FACE the whole time. That is OK keeps me on my toes thinking harder to find stuff...

    Troubleshooting electrical issues

    Wow got Both Head Lights now?! Made a temp ground jumper behind the housing and no lights still? This is after I almost removed the panel and had second thoughts about doing that. Wiring is pretty clean/un touched on the truck and I like that. Then looked for why it did not make it into the...

    Troubleshooting electrical issues

    Another stupid idea, ignore this thread.

    Was told on some School Buses there is a emergency air tank incase the brakes lock up on train tracks, intersections ect you can use to move the bus full of kids to safety. I know what your talking about needing extra air once in a while. My M1078 is great except in Parades going like slow...
