Tonight I did more troubleshooting on my truck and confirmed that the 3 wire sensor is indeed the CTIS pressure switch. Apparently some trucks have 2 wire sensors and some have 3. The Dana .pdf I was looking at last night didn't have any troubleshooting information in it, but I found one today...

Thanks, guys. I'll try jumping the A and B terminals tonight and hopefully report back with success.

Ok thanks MtnSnow, that is the one I took the connector off of thinking it was the one. I also took it out of the air line and confirmed it wasn't packed full of crud, hence the new PTFE tape on the threads. Like I said though, mine has 3 wires in it instead of 2 like the parts diagram and...

I've had a CTIS problem pop up on my truck recently. The best I can tell from following the troubleshooting guide in the TM, reading every thread I can find, and using the Spicer pdf file, it's not getting the signal from the pressure switch that tells the system it has 120 psi. I've found the...

Mine also had some brackets bolted behind the front mounts on the box that guided the front of the box back down squarely when the frame flexed. They would hit the mounts on the frame rails if you did not remove them. I've seen multiple threads where the boxes were removed by sliding them...

Check to make sure you don't have your ground and high beam wire locations flipped. I used a diagram I found online and it was backwards. It sent the current through both filaments on the low beam setting and was very dim. Yours may already be fine, but it is something fairly easy to check.

Has anyone else had trouble with the alternate shutterstats identified in this and other threads? As best I can tell, there are 2 options in the market, the original Evans unit that is supposed to be failure prone, and the Medallion brand ones that are available through various retailers...

Thanks! That's my volt meter for checking the status of the 'house' battery. It's just a cheap China made piece so it's lower than my good meter's reading by about 0.2 volts, but it's a pretty constant offset so it's still useful. I think it may even be adjustable but I've just learned to...

Thanks! The floor covering is just peel and stick Armstrong brand floor tile from Lowes. They were cheap and give me the ability to replace them when one gets damaged. I've already had to exercise that option once after a sharp corner on my tool box cut one. [thumbzup]

The last thing I've been working on was to get the primer covered up before winter time. I'd originally planned on doing the full 3 color woodland camo, and I still may at some point, but I like the way it looks solid green for now so it's going to stay like it is for now. Here are some pictures...

When I figured out that my shutterstat wasn't working, I took it apart only to break the thermal module in the process. I'm waiting on my replacement to arrive, but while I was into the cooling system I decided to go ahead and flush everything out and add a coolant filter system. It was very...

It's been a while since I've posted anything, largely because I've been busy trying to get work done on the truck. I've gotten the interior a little closer to 'finished', and taken the truck on a few short trips. I've also gotten the toolbox made for the back. It is made from 1/8" steel and...

My M109 was a 1990 rebuild and had water leaks at some of the riveted seams in the roof, as well as at most of the window frames. The body seams all had a polyurethane caulk around the edges, which I replaced with a Loctite brand polyurethane caulk (Loctite PL S40 specifically). I know others...

I also vote for complete replacement of the wood, and inspection of the metal underneath to determine what's best. The oak flooring on mine looked fine but had a slight creak in one spot when you stepped on it. When I got the boards removed, I swept up 8 gallons of rust prior to removing all the...

I am planning to come Friday after work in the M909 and stay through at least Saturday afternoon. It just didn't work out for me to be able to take time off work to get there any earlier.

On my M923A2 the bolts you referenced were carriage bolts and were just to hold the wood slats to the bottom of the bed. If you are just moving the bed backwards 2-3", you should not need to mess with them.

I've not done much on the truck in the last couple weeks but I thought I'd show what I have managed to accomplish. I mounted the first of the upper cabinets a few days ago. This one overlaps the window a bit in front of the kitchen sink, but it's where I wanted it in order to hold the range hood...

I found a few pictures of Zout's work on here as well as several useful pieces of information. I think he intentionally didn't post much about his build, which I understand and respect his decision to do so. I did use MS Paint and a side shot of his truck to get an idea of how my truck would...

QUADJEEPER, your build is progressing quite nicely. You've done a lot of fantastic work, and I'm watching your build closely to find ideas I can "borrow". :-D I did want to offer one suggestion. You appear to have found the same water tank that I have used in my camper truck build. I found a...

CARNAC, I would like information on my two trucks, please. 1967 Kaiser Jeep M109A3 WO/W a. Serial Number (VIN number) 023010298 b. Registration Number 4L4575 c. NSN without dashes 2320000771636 d. Bought from a private seller, who purchased it from GL e. Bumper numbers: Passenger Side...
