    Winch Weirdness

    I have a $h!t load of electrical stuff to address. Noticed today a bunch of the wires in the CTIS harness have been wrapped with electrical tape, so I'm guessing the insulation was chewed by mice. That will take some time to fix correctly. Found this behind the dash today. Pretty sure these...

    Winch Weirdness

    Yes, I have the TM's and will read through the operation of the winch. The A1R, and I think the A1 as well, no longer have the hand throttle.

    Thanks. I found that thread when I did a search earlier. I'll read through it.

    Winch Weirdness

    Did a search but didn't really find much. My truck is a 2008 M1078A1R with the factory winch. Truck is new to me and I am new to these trucks, so in the steep learning curve of a new S&S owner. The winch cable was loose on the drum and hanging down below the drum, so yesterday I thought I...

    Lmtv a1r door lock key?

    Well, maybe I'm using 4 rather than 2, so only one full additional set, plus a couple of spares, if someone wants it.

    Lmtv a1r door lock key?

    Okay, I believe these are the correct gasket. They have a $20 minimum order, so I ad to buy 10 of them, and shipping was ridiculous for what they are $28! Anyway, I keep a spare set for myself, so I'll have enough left for 3 trucks if anyone wants to buy them, I'll sell them for what I paid plus...

    Lmtv a1r door lock key?

    Anyone have a source for the gaskets for the gen 2 trimark handles? The Mil part number is 50127, for one side, but Joe at MWME says they have to be the same part even though there are two part numbers. They don't have them in stock and are going to inquire with Trimark to see if they can order...

    Lmtv a1r door lock key?

    Ahh, so the button threads off the shaft, not the shaft out of the latch. On mine the shaft is spinning with the button. I'll hold the shaft with some needle nose pliers. Thanks

    Lmtv a1r door lock key?

    That's what I thought, but mine just spin, so I'm assuming the captive nut in the plastic is spinning. I also have new latches and lock boxes coming, so hopefully that nut is in the latch otherwise I'll have more new parts to source.

    Oil pressure gauge all over the place.

    By the way, when the gauge would drop to 0, the stop engine and low oil pressure lights did not come on, so the ECM must have still been seeing oil pressure. I'm guessing the issue is with the gauge or wiring behind the dash.

    Oil pressure gauge all over the place.

    I assume just the typical CAT C7 part.

    Lmtv a1r door lock key?

    What's the trick for removing the round plastic lock knob. I don't want to break it. is there some trick I'm missing?

    Oil pressure gauge all over the place.

    So, when I was back in Maryland helping the guy I bought my truck from do all the maintenance on it before driving home, one of the first things he had me do was install a new oil pressure sensor. He said the oil pressure gauge was periodically acting weird, and would drop to 0 PSI. That...

    Lmtv a1r door lock key?

    Okay, thanks. I have them, as well as the latches, in my cart at MWME already. Looks like both 1st gen and 2nd gen handles use the same latches. By the way, turns out I do have the correct hardware in the passenger door. Someone just installed the door release lever facing backwards so it was...

    Lmtv a1r door lock key?

    Do you have a good source for the handles and latches vs MWME? Also, can you post a link to the dorman metal clips you mentioned?

    Lmtv a1r door lock key?

    Guess I’m ordering new latches then. Bummer, they aren’t cheap.

    Lmtv a1r door lock key?

    That would be why my keys don’t work:) They look like this.

    Lmtv a1r door lock key?

    My 2008 A1R does that as well. Both doors, you lock them from the inside, but when you pull on the latch handle they just on lock and the door opens. My cylinders say TM202 on them and I had keys made before I picked up my truck in Maryland, hoping to be able to lock the doors on the way home...

    Help With TM's

    Thanks. Just trying to be thorough. Many time I have seen torque specs that call out a torque value that is below the value recommended by size and grade. The bolts I'm dealing with here are all the original CAT grade 10.9 bolts, and yes, I totally understand the "feel" aspect of this. I bought...

    Help With TM's

    Please forgive me if this has been asked before, but I didn't find much from searching the forums. I'm a nube to these trucks, got home last Sunday from driving my 2008 M1078 A1R from Maryland to California. I have a variety of things I need to address before continuing to drive the truck and am...
