    Looking for M1078A1 ABS troubleshooting guide

    So, with no TM pages, nor finding any suggestions; started following wires, checking connections, pulling out the sensors to clean them up. Dirty. One rear came out, the other wouldn't quite clear the brake shoe. As we rotate the tires and adjust the brakes, we will clean them all up...

    Front brush guard ideas

    Broke Overland made several videos for his brush guards, ladder, and roof rack build. Here is the first one: Note in his second video he gets rid of the rivetnuts and improves the pipe/tube bender—

    Diagnostic Readers

    So, adapting the existing (to 12v) or adding an additional 12v nine pin plug allows us to create our own 'dash' display on our iPad, iphone, Surface or whatever andriod device one might have? Creating active real time data display while driving from our engine, transmission, etcetera?

    Looking for M1078A1 ABS troubleshooting guide

    2003 M1078A1 looking for a TM or ETM covering the ABS system. I thought I had found a live ETM for the A1, though apparently I am mistaken–

    From fire truck to MTV

    We had a better experience with MME and Joe, though you only get what you inspect rather than expect. He is a used car salesman. We picked our unit up in Missouri and so inspected prior to driving home. My expectation was that we would need to replace most if not all the rubber and electrical...

    2008 M1078 A1R Maryland to California or Bust!

    I agree running, most likely, lower pressure may even out the tires or at least mitigate the issue for the long drive. Also, I wondered if the cab suspension was reset from the last raising of the cab. On my drive home I forgot to push and twist. Took me 90 minutes of loosing my fillings to...

    Do I have oil pressure?

    My dyslexia, I read M1078. Using the TM tab above, then Present Conflict Vehicles leads you to pages for your M1087. Glad you found a solution past my misdirection—

    Do I have oil pressure?

    That looks right. Here is a link to the Technical Manual (TM) here (which is actually for the AO) on the site for trouble shooting the oil pressure gauge https://www.steelsoldiers.com/upload/M1078/m1078_TM 9-2320-365-20-1.pdf Page 482 is where it starts for the gauge

    Cleaned M1078A1 Power Distribution Panel (PDP)

    I have one, though I should have followed your advice and just gotten common ATO blade fuses. These weren't expensive, though will certainly be more time consuming to check—

    Cleaned M1078A1 Power Distribution Panel (PDP)

    @GeneralDisorder and @Ronmar both shared solid suggestions to clean our PDP and update the circuit breakers and relays. We found a mix of their suggestions and other sources to clean and replace our aging electrical bits and pieces. We used compressed air, a small paint brush, and a micro...

    2008 M1078 A1R Maryland to California or Bust!

    What a great way to start. On my first drive (M1078A1: three days from Missouri to Texas) I learned where most the obnoxious noises come from: low air warning, missing bushing on the cab lock, the cooling fan engaged, gear lash from the wheel hubs, squeaking rubber in cab suspension; and got...

    Largest Box on 1083/1088

    Moving the spare, reconfiguring the intake, moving the ABS and LDBC (if installed), relocating the air over hydraulic controls and toolbox gains about 14". I agree on limiting the overhang to the least you can. Just the other day my wife and I watched from 4 fuel pumps away as a guy pulled...

    ECO Hubs Who needs 3:07 gears?

    I enjoyed meeting Colt this weekend, and picked up some of his CTIS hub rebuild kits, too. The drive down and back was a breeze. With the ECO HUBS she cruises at 60, still looking for a plug and play tachometer, though i'd guess right about 1,600 rpm in 6th gear—

    CTIS pressure settings increase - no programming, transducer, or module required.

    My mistake. You stated earlier that you "disconnected the M wire only". So which are providing power at the ECU now?
