The Arduino controllers are very simple to program without diagnostic gear; the Dana Spicer units are more robust and easy to program with diagnostic gear. Both use the original wiring and air connections. We have both boxes and so far prefer the Dana Spicer units simplicity while driving...
In our case replacing R12 and R13 (under the PDP on P250) resolved our ABS and J1939 faults. When we purchased our unit no circuit breaker was in the ABS fault light slot. Adding one brought the light on. Attempting to use the the diagnostic plug to read the ABS faults led use to the...
I agree with @GeneralDisorder, if you are concerned, block heater. We owned CAT equipment years ago and ran all through moderate winters with a spray can of ether. Black smoke and 'marbles' each morning up and down the line. Just leave at idle until 'marbles' pass. You'll be waiting for air...
We found the J62 plug (schematic 9/232) at the cab's back wall does have power when the rotating (CB 38, K13) light is switched on. So, at least that circuit could become an aux lighting circuit very easily—
Looking through the schematics (20040129 version) at what each CB is connected to has me rethinking some things for new dash power: door locks, power windows, power mirrors, dash camera, and back up and side cameras.
It appears in our M1078A1 we have a number of totally unused circuits in both...

Received a Blue Sea split bus fuse block we plan to mount on the rear wall connected by 1/0 wire from the PDP 24v BAT (X1) terminal, (using the route the radio wire took between the doghouse and seat). Will have a 1/0 branch to a Victron Orion DC to DC 24v to 12v 70A converter then 4AWG to...
It doesn't look like there is much clearance between the habitat and the rear tires. Is there enough up travel articulation for traveling uneven surfaces?
I am thinking about running two split bar boxes: (12v battery and ignition; and 24v battery and ignition) to the back wall.
Other than diagnostics like a Bluefire and a couple of charging ports (which I plan to relocate off the existing 12v battery plug in the passenger footwell) I don't have...
I like this split bar one:
After thinking I could adapt the unused PDP slots to new uses I realize your suggestions are cleaner and easier to document/isolate when gremlins appear. Now I am pondering either one split by 12v/24v battery or two 12v/24v each split battery/ignition. Forcing me...
Thank you all. Good comments and solid advice as usual. We'll button up in the morning and drive to lunch with friends. Maybe even try to test the ABS system on the way.
What a great forum, I am grateful for you all. It would have taken much longer with less confidence without your cajoling...
Maybe. The light was off until we replaced the ABS light circuit breaker which had been removed. Since installing a new circuit breaker light has been on. The DPA III+ has been finding faults with voltage or open circuit on ABS while all other ECU's reported. Replacing R12 and R13 (both...
