    Headlight switch or lights Electrical question

    LMTV died while driving

    And it is still possible that resistor and the R13 under the PDP are both blown which in our experience lit the ABS dash light. When you connect to the diagnostic port does J1939 and J1703 both connect and read? Resistor plug under the PDP Pulled the caps off two burnt out resistors...

    LMTV died while driving

    The ABS cycles upon power up. When we were having trouble with the J1939 resistors at power up the ABS light would come on (as it always does), go off while checking the four spots around the truck, (rear, front, rear, front) and then come back on and stay on. Our J1939 resistors were burning...

    Niehoff N3030 Regulator/ M1078/ doesn't have flashing light capacity

    Here's where we started our swap to a 24v 200a alternator on a modified mount, pulled the LBCD and added a Victron 24/12v 70a converter at the passenger foot kick. m1078a1 cab and chassis electrical upgrades @MatthewWBailey swapped using a pad mount alternator. We still have a working 24/12v...

    LMTV Allison Stall Test issues

    I have been looking at this as well. Also do not care for the location except that when driving off road we always protect the middle, right? Cheaper and easier things to fix are typically near the edges, expensive difficult to fix things in the middle. Tires over rocks, not avoiding them...
