The 5th wheel plate weighed in at 1020 pounds. According to the TM it should have been 980. I'm not sure where the extra 40 pounds came from.
The M1088, after 5th wheel plate removal, with auxiliary transmission cooler still attached, was 17,020 pounds. I don't have a weight following the removal of that auxiliary cooler, but the cooler probably weighed 200 pounds, so we're about 16,800, I'm thinking.
Driving it 8 miles round trip today to the scrap yard was interesting. It's the longest drive I've done yet and everything seems to be working OK. I've got some air leaks I need to fix, but the air stayed near 120 PSI for the entire trip,
And the CTIS is working great, using the Christian Platzer CTIS controller. The CTIS is the big reason I wanted one of these trucks, 4x4 or 6x6, instead of a Unimog or other Mercedes chassis. The Mercedes would be more plus, but I want to get out on the sand and manually airing big tires down and up again doesn't appeal
