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...
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.
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...
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...
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.

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...
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.
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...
