    M-1078 Windshield Wiper Motor and Linkage Replacement and Repair

    And the linkages for the Wiper arms? are they easily accessible or ....what? Are parts readily available? And if you have to service the arm and linkages behind the windshield, does it come out the front by removing the area? Thanks again

    M-1078 Windshield Wiper Motor and Linkage Replacement and Repair

    I have never been faced with repairs to the wiper system but now I am and I looked to how to even approach this. The passenger side wiper is not working and has free movement. The Driver and Middle Wiper work in unison. I looked in the defrost area hoping that the linkage was there and no. So...

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

    I went back through the video and it explains well. Pursuing clarification. I intend to order the Victron Orion and mount it in the right kick board area like you stated. If I run a 4 gauge wire from the 24vdc Alternator to the Orion under the dash, and then a 4ga wire from the Orion to the...

    M-1078 Door Handles/ Interesting Topic?

    So I need door handles but I really am having trouble paying prices close to $200 for one. I really would like handles that do not have a lock or pot metal. The end statement is this. Has anybody come up with better door handles at a lesser price.

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

    Now I understand, so I say! You are charging the series of batteries to be 24vdc and doing away with the 12vdc side. You are obtaining your voltage right there at the panel ie 24vdc connect at the panel and going to the 12vdc connect at the panel. Now instead of a manual disconnect switch for...

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

    If I wired as stated by you how would the 12 vdc battery get charged but now that I write are you charging that or depending on the 2 group 31 threaded post to be charged by the 24vdc which brings us back to the over and undercharging that used to plague the M35 when people wired to one 12...

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

    Hey RonMar, This is Lugnuts and I am asking and opening this conversation up again. I hope you are willing and anybody else who cares to join in. The dual 24 - 12vdc Alternators are past getting stupid in price. I have a M1078 that is missing an alternator and hurricane season is starting thus...

    M1078 Battery Conversion

    RonMar gave a schematic/ now at the batteries you have 3 cables coming to the boxes/ Remember the forward battery (the one at your left when you are looking at the batteries) is the 24 volt dc positive connection/ the rear 12 volt battery is for the 12 volt dc positive battery connection. In the...

    Did you understand how to install the batteries? Are you just having trouble with the main cables?

    M1078 Battery Conversion

    One last though I'd like to add since you are Fire Services related, since the truck isn't always running with the extra room you can install on the back wall a small 2 lead battery charger {3 or 6 amp) and install the 110 vac plug where the NATO connection is. If you want an Auto Eject you can...

    M1078 Battery Conversion

    RonMar said well. I personally use an Interstate threaded Lugs/ They have a 1000 crank amps a piece/ Without looking I think the cable is 2/0 on both hot leg and ground/ No trouble whatsoever.
