Howdy all, My 1084's rear-rear differential ground up today with a bad pinion bearing. Left me stranded for a bit till I could get some oil in it to limp me home. For now, I'm going to pull the axles, driveshaft and run air to the power divider lock to stay mobile. As I am in the Great White...

There is also a manual pull pin lock for the swing also. I forget to pull it most times myself.

Yup. I measured wrong.

They are FMTV rims. They were mounted on the truck. Maybe I mesured wrong and they do swap over.

10 lug budd.

I have some extra FMTV tires and wheels and an old LN8000 with 9R20's. The bolt patterns don't match. Just thinking....

Can you mount FMTV tires on commercal 20" wheels? Or does the bead lock walls prohibit that?

It is ether that or I misinstalled. Quite possible. I'll let you know what I find. Thanks again.

Thanks Ronmar, I am trying to get why my seals keep blowing out. Do they fail at 60PSI or are they failing when the system applies tank pressure? I would like to keep the system operational but not at the cost of constantly blowing out seals. I just got back from borrowing a blow down tester...

When CTIS pressurizes the supply line, what would it pressurize to? 120 or selected tire pressure?

I have a curious problem with my rear axle blowing out oil. I checked the vent and it blows clear with no oil residue. Next, I hooked up shop air and tested for CTIS seal blow by. I ran a deflate/inflate cycle and had no air escape from the axle vent. My tires hold their pressure and the...

It's what we get for buying a Russian designed CTIS...

Thanks for the vid. I will have to review it again. The bummer is that I did replace them 500 miles ago. I need to find the cause.:neutral:

After buying my truck last fall and fixing the worst problems on the truck (CTIS seals and new driveshaft) and driving her around on progressively longer trips gaining some confidence in her, I took her for a long trip. I Bought a M 105 trailer and fetched it. A 350 mile trip and sixty miles...

Since spring arrived I have added some soundproofing, replaced some cab marker lights, hardwired my beacons in, added the hanging storage bag in the cab, bought a M 105 trailer and blew out my rear CTIS seals.
