    2003 M1083A1 Does C7 replace 3126?

    I have been wondering how a 7JZ to another 7JZ could be a 3126 to a C7. Putting his serial numbers 7JZ00594 and 7JZ06815 in CAT SIS finds a 3126, not a C7—

    M1083A1 Wire Numbers for Location/

    There are PDF's of FMTV TM's in the Technical Manuals forum. I recall submitting Schematics for FMTVA1 for certain serial numbers. Perhaps that will help; I zoom in to enable reading and following routes. You likely will find other helpful TM's and parts lists there, too—

    M1083A1 Wire Numbers for Location/

    229A, 229B, and 3000 appear near the EMI filter. 229A & B going to the ECM (P188-67 & P188-65), 3000 looks like it is related to the warm up and exhaust brake switch through L11 (engine exhaust brake solenoid)—

    M1078A1 fuel starting issue

    So, if I understand: 1— move water fuel separator filter to the tank— easily viewed at every fuel fill and walk about; 2— bypass mechanical lift (60 psi) pump at HEUI pump with electric 60 psi pump between water separator and primary filters. Essentially removing one pump and repacing geared...

    M1078A1 fuel starting issue

    I haven't owned a piece of CAT equipment in the last 30 years, but even those simply needed the injectors cracked while cranking. Pumping a primer pump is a new experience for me on a diesel engine on the M1078A1. The last time I pumped to prime fuel was on an outboard motor. Adding an...

    We lost our primer pump recently and now that we have it all back together it looks like the HUEI is gone. Only 283# at crank. Fortunately we are home now. I was thinking about trying the solenoid, though with the potential for losing $1,000 injectors I am thinking whole manufactured if we...

    M1078 Fire Truck with eco hubs

    Our experience, unloaded, is we always run out of traction before power. I don't recall a time power was even a consideration. Without lockers we must keep everything on the ground, old school off roading. With a bread basket locker I'd think EcoHubs are just what you need—

    When you flip the power switch on the dash one of the protocols, like the inlet heater activating then going off (when it is warm), is the ABS computer checking all four (on an M1078/9) relays. You can hear them click: front, rear, front, rear. If the controller is dead or not powered, no clicks—
