    M1078A1 Battery Disconnect Relay Cycling

    The rest of the important grounds are from the front of the passenger frame rail near the cab hinge, up to the inside of the cab tunnel. inside there should be another from cab tunnel to dash and from there to main ground test point which is also connected to TB2, which is the main power panel...

    M1078A1 Battery Disconnect Relay Cycling

    Every ground connection I have seen on these vehicles is junk, with star washers biting thru the CARC paint coating. I would not call any of them "fine" until you strip them to bare metal on metal connection... What NDT said is absolutely vital if you are running 4 batts...

    1996 LMTV 1078 cab has not power

    Yep, there are a couple places that require 5 pin relays to operate properly. As seen in the diagram I posted earlier, When K02 energizes it feeds a whole series of circuit breakers to power the various circuits...

    M1078A1 Battery Disconnect Relay Cycling

    " The worst thing you can do to a vehicle is let it sit, run it for everything it's worth, then put it away wet. " Except the brakes, don't put the brakes away wet... Yes the LBCD controls the disconnect relay, to save that alt from the oversized battery bank. If you drop to 2 batteries you...

    Looking to buy a truck - missing sensor? help needed

    In electronic, C7 in the A1R trucks(04ish and up). The 3126(99-04ish) has had its share of issues, but there are a fair number of them out in the wild operating, so… The 3116(pre 99) is all mechanical if you are into that sort of thing:) Also a lot of those out and operating…

    1996 LMTV 1078 cab has not power

    The dash test points are designated X1, X2 and X3. Here is a simplified start circuit diagram that shows the basic ignition power circuit. all this relies on good solid power and ground connections between battery terminals and X1-X3. Also why y0u measure circuit voltage under load. A bad...

    1996 LMTV 1078 cab has not power

    Did y0u clean all the grounds? Starter to frame, alt to frame, right frame to cab behind grill. Those are the 3 biggies but there are more… 96 has a polarity protection device, PPD, not a LBCD. Open the power panel dash cover. three round test points on the left, ground, 12 and 24v...

    2003 1078 A1 derated ether start

    well the only solenoid involved in the HEUI system is a pressure regulator needle valve. The ECU monitors pressure and modulates the needle valve to regulate the HPOP engine oil pressure between ~500 and 3000 PSI. The piston relationship in the HEUI injectors multiplies this HPOP pressure 7X...

    2003 1078 A1 derated ether start

    OK, I completely lapsed on the fact we are talking about an A1 here... Must be getting old:) A1's(3126/C7) are Hydraulic Electric Unit Injectors(HEUI) so are EFI... They do not have or use a governor or a run solenoid. The ECU simply stops firing the injectors to shutdown just like any other...

    MiniGun LMTV FMTV

    but once tuned, they are really good at going between point A and B with relatively predictable characteristics… it just seemed like it took a long time to pop up… “hey where’s the gun” Taps toe for 2 minutes…:)

    MiniGun LMTV FMTV

    You could probably replace the linear actuator with a small air cylinder. That could give you a snappier pop up and down… very cool!

    LMTV Frame twist

    4 anchor pockets(3x5”?) welded to the upper 6” frame channel near front and rear. The rear crane lift point is also incorporated into that upper channel just forward of the rear wheel. The box is attached to a box tube subframe that has 4 feet that rest in the pockets on 1/2” rubber pads...

    2003 1078 A1 derated ether start

    The one on my LMTV has two terminal posts… on the A0 they chained the ground connection on over to the water separator bowl heater. The other terminal is also tied into the STE wiring, up to that large cannon plug under the drivers dash…

    LMTV Battery Replacement 24 Volt

    Probably should clarify what you are using as a power source and how that 3rd battery comes into play. Generally speaking it is not advisable to mix and match series string battery sizes and battery chemistry, as it makes it virtually impossible to balance the charges…
