    Seized ether start solenoid

    Well you can take it apart (I used a torch to weaken threadlock). Unfortunately it ripped the corroded AL threads off.

    Seized ether start solenoid

    Solenoid/valve is seized. Before trying to source a new one I figure I'll try and rebuild. I was able to get the solenoid off the bottom but it appears the valving may come apart. Curious if anyone has any experience with these? I tried a pipe wrench and no joy there, but it may have a ton of...

    CTIS pressure settings increase - no programming, transducer, or module required.

    Nice work! I noticed the "MTV only" wire in the diagrams the other day. I have a 1096 and got an eBay replacement black controller (I believe second of the three versions) and have trying to get my ctis working, chasing leaks. I was able to verify 55psi is the highway setting it currently has...

    M1078 Roof Measurements

    2007 with 1800 miles, not broken here, although pretty rusted. Have too long a list of items to be replaced already.

    ECO Hubs Who needs 3:07 gears?

    I do worry a little in recovery situations, literally twice the torque to the rest to the drivetrain to apply the same force. Really don't want to shred a diff or snap an axle. I'd be hesitant to do stump pulling or other such activities, with the 2:1, likely traction is the weak link...now it...

    CTIS spewing gear oil but controller not connected.

    Here are the pages. I'm not super familiar with the 939, but it looks like blocking both sides of the seals, then pressurizing to 80psi and checking that no more than 10 PSI leaks out in 1 minute.

    CTIS spewing gear oil but controller not connected.

    I'm not finding a refence to that tool for testing hub seals? This is the closest I found:

    CTIS spewing gear oil but controller not connected.

    Ronman: Yes, you have it all correct, I was just wording the CTIS vent as describing the front hub vents

    CTIS spewing gear oil but controller not connected.

    After digging though TMs and posts on here, found the two axle vents and the 2 hub CTIS vents all connect together and vent is located near the bellhousing vent. Verified that one by blowing into it and could feel the air compression(like blowing up a balloon), air flowing back tasted horrible...

    CTIS spewing gear oil but controller not connected.

    Okay looked at the vent lines from the axle, both were completely blocked. Enough that when pulling the fill plugs, both rear axles let out a fairly significant hiss. Truck hasn't been driven for a few days.

    The things I learned while rebuilding my CTIS

    Wondering if anyone can describe what's in Eaton PN 599913 rebuild kit?

    CTIS spewing gear oil but controller not connected.

    Thanks for the info, I looked at the vent lines but didn't have time to follow their routing as it went up the frame rail to somewhere, so many lines there it will take a bit to trace.

    CTIS spewing gear oil but controller not connected.

    Noticed a rear tire was down on pressure a bit so refilled to 80psi. Also replaced the quick release valve near the muffler as it was missing. Then after a drive, gear oil sprayed out of the discharge from the quick release valve on the forward rear axle(connected to the tire that was low)...

    Door Handle Lever Printed (LMTV)

    My truck came with 3d printed handles, broke the third time I used it. Truck latches also needed lube so there was extra stress. I replaced them with aluminum ones and lubed latches. I wouldn't use 3d printed parts for this situation. Considering potential high loads, it's not their ideal use...

    Got tired of my loose mirrors

    Wind was pushing them back, had to have my kids constantly fix them. Looked around the hose and found some scraps that I mounted with the unused screw holes on the doors. Clamps are just standard cable guides (silicone) and the other parts are aluminum pieces I had laying around from other...

    M1088 camper conversion

    Is the coolant recirculating in this overflow? With gas engine overflows it doesn't.
