    CTIS schrader valve and kneeling valve assembly

    Maybe replace the top screw on piece with a sealed cap.

    CTIS computer based diagnostics

    On the first gen trucks you would have to use a Y cable, that plugs in between the controller and harness, to give you a diagnostic port to work with. I have never been able to find one of these cables though. On an A1 truck with data bus diag you can plug into the trucks diag port and access...

    CTIS schrader valve and kneeling valve assembly

    I think they just wear out. Seals contract in the cold. I have a lot of parts trucks. I usually swap the kneeling valves for regular elbows on crappy tires on the parts trucks. The new style ctis valve assemblies eliminate the elbow.

    CTIS schrader valve and kneeling valve assembly

    Take it off. Hit with large hammer. Repeat.

    CTIS schrader valve and kneeling valve assembly

    Probably a spring and rotating valve with o ring.

    CTIS schrader valve and kneeling valve assembly

    I haven’t opened one. Because one end screws onto a valve stem it’s not like a standard right angle that would be stocked at a hardware type store.

    CTIS schrader valve and kneeling valve assembly

    I have seen them for sale online. No one retailer I can recommend over another though. It is a public available part. Used on the rear wheels where there is no kneeling valve. I hate those kneeling valves. Nothing but trouble. Maybe you can fill the release screw mech with rtv and once it gets...

    Bad Bill for Title Military Surplus Off Road Moves to Virginia Senate

    Any vehicle registered, regardless of vin or serial number, should be in the nationwide dmv system and info can be pulled up by any state/local authority. I don’t believe it will show type of document used to register the vehicle though. Just that it is registered, to who and type of reg. All of...

    Cab Lift Problem and finding Hydraulic Reservoir on 1994 M1078

    If you had enough fluid to manually raise the cab maybe your air hyd pump needs a rebuild. It’s behind the cab.

    Adding Backup/360 Cameras

    The rvs brand in the first post is good quality.

    Idaho title change!!!!!

    Maybe the intent is for a vehicle that just came from gov auction and it details how the buyer would proceed as first registrant with sf97 in hand. They just didn’t word it correctly.

    How to find TM's for rare equipment?

    Alot of the manuals were not public release. Optical and 400 hz leads me to believe it was used with targeting systems. And manuals dealing with most of that stuff will not be public release.

    Adding Backup/360 Cameras

    I have a cheap backup cam in my m1078. The RVS brand you linked to above is decent stuff. A system that records also is ideal. Or get a separate dash cam. If the backup cam gets dirty down low you can mount it up high behind the cab and still have a semi decent view. I had what I thought was a...

    Military HMMWV Vs Civilian Hummer H1

    As far as I know, the gov had an agreement with AMG that they wouldn’t sell surplus humvees to the public. So they were always scrapped. I believe in the beginning, just cutting them in half was enough and stuff like engines tires could be scavenged. But people were putting them back together...

    M1088 transmission trouble

    Is it the pigtail coming off the trans? Doing that stuff can be tricky. Sometimes having the dealer do it will save a lot of headache.

    M1088 transmission trouble

    Careful with that. I had a wet wtec3 keypad that liked to put the truck into drive by itself. Water drips down around the lights above the windshield and over time ruins the keypad. Arrow up and arrow down in neutral will start flashing codes.

    Adding Backup/360 Cameras

    Can you feed it into a recorder like a dash cam.

    Wheel Covers / Rim Protectors

    The guy who was selling them cheap was within driving distance of the okc site where they were auctioned off. He ended up with most of them. Around 4 years ago though. I had to pay big bucks to freight a pallet of them to CT. So I had to wait till his were all gone to sell mine. And I bought...
