    M1088 camper conversion

    will be interesting to see if bead dust clogs those filters. Beads have come along way... they likely do not break up as much like they use too so it may be a non issue. Time will tell

    LMTV CTIS Question

    are you speaking of the CTIS ECU? What would concern me if so..... is they say to unplug it before jump starting.. (this came up in a PS Mag. bulletin) Is that because it does not like sudden surges? if so.... then I would only use your kill switch for off/ons when the truck is OFF for same...
