Yep, got one just like it at home. The multiplication works both ways, so make sure you spin it the right way for the threads you are trying to loosen, and dont overtighten them when putting tgem back on. There is no substitute for delivering the proper torque(torque wrench or meter) and lever...

Don’t have anything up for the floor/frame build, as I am just starting on that now(Just cut the last huck bolts this afternoon) so the upper frame is now free of the lower frame. I cut the hucks in the lower holes on the joiner plates(circled in red) and will cover the holes so I can run...

No real build thread, just some utube vids(user rronmar) as I go thru the various modifications/alterations to prep the frame for the box build. I am converting the upper frame rail into the floor frame for the habitat and will use captive hydraulics to allow the main frame rail to twist away...

OMG!

Height has been one of my biggest concerns. I bought a cab and chassis so am literally building from the frame up...

Well if I were keeping the bed, I think I would find a shelter box, or build my own to fit the full extent of the flatbed. A camper designed for a pickup bed winds up having compromises, being designed for a narrower bed with wheel wells. If it is cold where you are at, you could probably...

Well in the case of a shelter box or camper placed in the bed, the bed structure(all 2600 pounds of it) acts as the subframe, and its components allow for some flex without transmitting all the frame twist into the box. The box of course needs to be able to withstand or tollerate any flex it...

yea the test should be applicable to any truck with an anti-compound configuration. How the brakes are adjusted might effect the results you see, but it is still a matter of the anti-compound rolling off the park as the service is being applied. Like I mentioned in the start of the video, I...

Yea that minimum length really hampers searches at times…

Well its not the front QR you hear, it is the park valve itself venting the air in the line between the park valve and the anti-compound valve. up behind the center of the grill above the center of the radiator is a vent port thru the floor(in under/forward of the heater). That is where the...

The anticompound is the only component that controls air to the park spring chambers. It is a relay valve, much like the service brake relay right below it on the crossmember. It differs from the service relay in that it has a 2way check valve built into its input, so can accept two different...

Yea, Neil did a fantastic job! Cutting the DS RPM in half with the eco hubs actually brings them onto the angle/max RPM chart...

Yep, the trucks with low pinions are running the shafts way outside the angle/rpm charts which cause longitudial vibrations. The rear shaft is right at the 61" max length for this type, so has more mass which is what gets moved to cause the longitudinal vibrations in steep angles@high RPM...

Yea CTIS isn’t very smart. It is expecting things to happen a certain way in a certain timeframe, and if it doesn’t see it, it faults. It probably first starts with a sensor test to see if the pressure sensor on the PCU is reading atmospheric pressure. Then when the air system fills, It...

You could do either with a sawsall or a portaband in just a few minutes. Cleaning up the notch with a die grinder. I like the handheld bandsaw for this job as the cut is more precise/controllable. I would make the front and rear cuts straight to depth, and then cut inside those lines and...

When the outlet is greater than the inlet, and it shifts to dump, it also feeds back a little air from outlet to inlet port. If the controller held the PCU in the pressure test state longer(Control valve closed), the pressure on the dump inlet would have steadilly increased untill it...

Well the CTIS plumbing is pretty simple. The single output from the pressure control unit manifold goes to a T inside the frame, by the rear of the trans, passenger side. One port goes to the front axle dump valve input port, located a foot forward to the right of the transmission. Crawl in...

Well it doesnt change how the valve works. In normal ops, the vent port can only expel air returning from the outlet port which should be connected to the tires. Another possibility is you have a severely kinked or crimped line to the input port of the valve. This allows enough flow thru...

Bad voltages and grounds cause issues, but it sounds like one of those units is programmed for a different pulse per mile than your vehicle delivers. I think Superman can reprogram them

The only way air can dump out of the dump valve vent is if it comes from the tires. If it dumps as soon as the manifold applies air to the system, then I would say the dump valve is installed backwards. IE: truck side line from the manifold connected to the output port and the lines to the...
