Here is what I had. After engine start I had the red highway selection light flashing with no air venting or relay cycling clicking from the pneumatic control unit under the front winch control. It would flash for about 15 minutes and then all five selection lights would flash at the same...
Talked myself in the fix. Adjusted the governor up to about 128 psi. Right at about 123 psi the CTIS system came alive!! The system quickly brought up all 6 tires to the the wrecker's 80 psi. I still have to fix a leaking rear rim o-ring but the system held the leaking tire at 80 psi with no...

The thing weighed about 1500 lbs as it sat and didn't tax the wrecker at all. Also it was a straight aft lift. We discussed the stabilizers but waved them off.

Here is the one that wasn't working out of my M936A2. If you are talking the bulb (probe) it ends approx 1&1/2 inches from the base of the main unit. This is an Evans unit.
