    Intermittent check engine light at max speed/RPM

    Boost is usually dependent on load. Do a torque converter stall test. Second gear, stand on the brakes and add throttle. It should top out at the converter stall point ~ peak torque and full engine load. You don’t hold these too long as it really warms up the transmission fluid:) that should...

    Intermittent check engine light at max speed/RPM

    What were the conditions of that boost pressure video? Were you driving or in gear?

    M1084 Allison transmission problem

    Yea the 2-3 shift is brutal in an empty truck. Getting rid of the 2:1 hubs also calms it down.

    M1084 Allison transmission problem

    how much weight you got in it? any codes stored(press both arrows to enter diag mode use mode button to step thru the 5 memory locations). 3rd is where lockup is engaged, and with the 2:1 hubs, the trans has a real mechanical advantage so it satisfies lockup requirements almost immediately/in...

    MVT 1083A1 Battery Swap-out Power Problem

    OK, so it is an A1 without the disconnect switches to the rear of the battery box? Green circuit card power panel in the pax dash? Not counting NATO plug wires, you probably have 4 large battery cables. Ground, 12 and 24v and a 24v line to the starter solenoid. Use an ohm meter and a long...

    Transmission Filter Inspection Finding

    On my 1079 chassis, the tubular crossmember in the main frame looks to be far enough to the rear to clear the P6 clutch housing. At any rate, 8 Huck bolts and a hydraulic jack to spread the frame a hare and it could be slid to the rear.. It is the welded in Channel in the upper frame rail...

    LMTV 3126B Barometric pressure sensor fault code and location

    AKA: SAE or BSPP(british standard pipe parallel) type fittings that use a sealing Oring or sealing washer. There is usually a little step or bevel cut around the hole to contain the seal…

    Newbie Alert! New LMTV in DFW

    Yep, both pumps are in parallel. I did a system pressure test video and disconnected the output line on the hand pump and connected it to a pressure gauge. This showed me system pressure generated by the AOP while raising the cab and spare tire. thats why I suggested your hydraulic issues...

    Eco Hubs 3.90 or 3.07 for Best Fuel mileage

    Or not. Don’t need a computer to troubleshoot mine if it has an issue:)

    LMTV 3126B Barometric pressure sensor fault code and location

    Wonder if it is supposed to have some sort of plug/cap that perhaps holds the electrical circuit in a particular state, like the data bus end resistors? Or perhaps something shorted it?

    LMTV 3126B Barometric pressure sensor fault code and location

    Well anything in the manifold after the turbo would be altered/boosted. If this is sensing barometric pressure as a reference, it could be just about anywhere:) This diagram says it is forward and inboard of the boost sensor… looking at the diagrams it says that sensor is optional/only used...

    Eco Hubs 3.90 or 3.07 for Best Fuel mileage

    The A0 has no data bus to tap into for information… the only two electronic boxes onboard are the TCU and the CTIS and they are not wired together. Only a maintenance connector for the trans controller…

    LMTV 3126B Barometric pressure sensor fault code and location

    Baro and not boost, is it pre-turbo?

    LMTV Wiring/No Crank

    Is k26 energizing With ign on? Thats the neutral start relay controlled by the trans. K26 powers K11, K11 when energized sends power to the start switches to allow engine crank using those switches as they feed the aux start relay on the frame… trans trouble may indicate something in the...

    97 M1078 ctis dumped all air from tires

    right front might be a sticking wheel valve refusing to seal. the right line goes from the dump valve thru the hub to the banjo fitting on the wheel stud. then thru a hose to the wheel valve. unscrew the banjo bolt on that wheel and confirm that it is indeed a banjo bolt and not a solid...

    97 M1078 ctis dumped all air from tires

    Disconnect the line at the PCU i mentioned earlier that feeds down to the dump valves and wheel valves, and using a blowgun on that line, give it a brief shot of 60 PSI air. That shot of air should open the wheel valves and all the tires should equalize at the same pressure. As long as you...

    97 M1078 ctis dumped all air from tires

    he said they are dumping to 10PSI... it must be mostly blocked, as the system must build enough pressure to open the wheel valves in the first place... so air is coming from some place(leaking wheel valve, leaking PCU supply solenoid). a system open to atmosphere would have trouble building...

    97 M1078 ctis dumped all air from tires

    Quick fix, on the back side of the pressure control unit under the passenger dash on the port labeled C I think, disconnect the line to the wheels. The other line is the pressure input from the wet tank. The pressure line typicallt has a T right where it comes thru the floor as that air also...
