    Disabling the 5-Ton Front Axle Auto-Locking-In-Low-Range Device.

    You could but you have to have the spare tire removed which is a way bigger hassle unless it's already off the truck as shown by your picture. Also I personally would not CUT things as that destroys the part. But its your truck, so do as you see fit :whistle:

    Repurposed HET

    Yeah it was a totally fluke that we came across it. At the last moment we decided to alter our route to be able to hit the "4 corners" monument and when we left there and continued on our way we came across it at a closed weigh station.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Do NOT leave just plain water in the system over night if you are having freezing temps as the oil cooler/trans cooler are usually the first to get freeze damage.

    Gonna get a 5 ton

    Yep unless you have a the need to be constantly changing your tire pressures, then it is advisable to disable/remove the CTIS. Side benefit is being able to sell off the good parts to those who are trying to keep their systems working.

    New owner from new mexico.

    First off Hello and welcome from another Utahn. I drive right by weigh stations except when I'm driving our civilian cattle truck as we are required to be checked because of the animals which gets confusing because they usually get all mad and wave me on when I pull in with the horse trailer...

    Air Brake Service Needed

    With it leaking air both ON and OFF the brake pedal I'm going to bet that there is a leaking pancake or your brake pedal (aka Treadle valve is leaking) of course it could be a combo of all these... The Q2 valve looks like this on our 939 series trucks...

    New Member, buying first M1009 Tomorrow (HOPEFULLY)

    31" tires are the largest you can run without a lift if truly off-roading it. You can get away with up to 33" without a lift as long as you are very very mild off-road. (ie semi-graded dirt roads) and don't compress the front end with the tires turned or you will be bending sheetmetal and...

    Found a chunk of metal after oil change on my M923A1

    The blow-by tube aka "Slobber tube" will be connected to the valve cover and go down below the engine and is usually cut at an angle. Edit. Here is a picture of the tube (it's the item to the rear of the engine and runs down next to the bellhousing...

    931 with 8.3 no start, no fuel out of injector pump

    While you have the solenoid wired in the retracted position make sure that the fuel lever is rotating into the start/run position and not sticking in the closed/off position.

    Air Brake Service Needed

    Is the air being released into the intake with or without your foot on the brake pedal? If it is WITH your foot on the brake pedal you very likely have a bad Q2 valve (located on the backside of the vertical plate just behind the bumper and just forward of the axle. You might also read over...
