I've got a USMC M813, with the fording kit, that I bobbed for a full time trail truck. My question is the axles don't have the air lines, for low air pressure. There are three lines running off the fording kit. The first is in place and runs to the bell housing. The second runs to the air...
Dang, I was just about to ask how much my gold plated turd collection was worth. They're in great condition. Anyone? SS needs to implement a "party foul tracker". When members do stupid stuff, like trying to circumvent paying for a classified add, they receive a party foul demerit and are...

4. Ok
5. Rather...
I'll answer some of you questions.
1. *** REDACTED ***
2. A decent truck from a private party runs $7-12K depending on condition, location and features. Auction trucks run $3- 9K depending on the same stuff but have many more unknowns.
3. If the truck has CTIS and can air the tires down...
You can still do all those upgrades this weekend. The air dryer replacement takes about an hour. There's a thread on here about fan actuator rebuild. Not sure on the time for that one but none of it will preclude the other upgrades and PMs.
Could be the air dryer expello valve sticking open. It's the dump valve on the bottom of the unit. Try to pull it closed with some pliers and see if you can work it up and down. A picture of the other air leak would help. Sounds like fan actuator valve. In the picture below there is a black...
