Everything I've researched and read states 5 solid red lights means controller is toast. I'm going to try and get my hands on a working unit to see if it is indeed the culprit and I will let you know.
So I think I'm ready to start the sub-frame and habitat now. Until yesterday afternoon I was feeling like I had resolved all the base vehicle issues. Then this:
I hadn't messed with the CTIS at all because I had so many air leaks I knew that it wouldn't function til i could get the tanks up to...
Got the air leak fixed.... one way valve behind the bumper was the culprit. I swear every time I fix one thing I find 3 more than need fixing. Today's list includes new fans for the trans cooler, horn and marker light that got busted.
That’s cool, 18’ of the floor will be flat, the last 2’ of it will have a 45 degree angle so I guess similar to what you’re thinking. I like the 4 point system and I think it’s a very good idea to go that route if you’re gonna use the frp panels like the total composite systems. I’m doing a...
So the total length of the habitat will be 20’ that gives a 5’ over hang. The end of the 1088 rails are 15’8” from the cab. I will use 8” c channel solid mounted at the front with 2 spring mounts per side, one half way and 1 at the rear. Similar to how Acela makes there subframe. Have some...
the lid barely fits like this so I need to do something thinner. I ordered all the stuff to make the subframe so I’ll be starting that next week. I’ll try to keep the pics and updates coming as things get done
Time for an update. I replaced the valve on top behind the washer fluid tank. Still didn’t fix the air leak. I ordered a new one way valve that goes behind the bumper and a few rebuild kits for the rest for them. The down time has given me the ability to get other projects done on the truck...
Opened all the tanks and a little moisture came out but nothing like I saw out of the glad hand. To be safe I disassembled the dryer, cleaned it well and washed and dried the media inside. I will reassemble it tomorrow
The trans Ecu under the passenger side dash. Jultech fixed it and said looked like someone had tried to jump the truck and hit it with way too much power and it fried the components.
Ok, making progress now that the virus has me quarantined at home. I got the Wtec 3 trans ecu repaired and it fired right up. now on to my newest issue. Air was leaking out of the front emergency glad hand. through some research on this site looks like I need a new valve. Got one ordered should...
Got this off Donaldson's website. Has pretty much all the CFM requirements for all diesel engines.

Yeah, that's life.... Would have had it 3 months ago maybe if GP didn't sit on my EUC for so long. I have no idea what the bent rod is. It was mounted right above the battery box, I assume its used for maneuvering the handles and pins on the fifth wheel hitch. Not looking forward to getting that...
As I'm pulling stuff off the Truck I was thinking of putting things up for sale on FleeBay to help offset the cost of the build. But then started thinking that I've already received so much help from the members here that why wouldn't I give you guys first crack at it. As things come off I'll...
Update: trans ECU is the culprit. Thanks to the advice of a member on this forum its going to transmissioninstruments.com for repair. Engine runs by jumping the starting solenoid. All the lights work. Hydraulics all work (Cab / Spare Tire / Suspension). Seems to be a very good truck accept for...
