    From fire truck to MTV

    I'm fine with it, I wouldn't want a "fancy" paint job like on a show vehicle though. Color matches perfectly to Rustoleum camo in the can from Walmart so tough ups are very easy.

    CTIS...soo close to working properly

    It's states in the spicer manual troubleshooting this error, if the relief pressure is "within 1 PSI". Of course who knows what the true target is and also the allowable variance.

    CTIS...soo close to working properly

    Found out that the sensor is reading correctly. So I took apart the relief valve put in a slightly larger o-ring that seals on the surface a little better it seems, and also burned off the adhesive on the adjuster screw and tightened it up a bit to add more spring pressure. Now I'm getting a...

    From fire truck to MTV

    Well my title and registration finally came through after two nail-biting months of waiting on the WI DMV. Did lots of research reading WI laws but seems some people still have problems registering and titling so it was a big unknown. For the past few months I've been fixing things as I had...

    CTIS...soo close to working properly

    Tried tonight but there is a pressure spike that was blowing the hose off so I need to change the setup a little to take that spike. I did push on the relief valve to increase the pressure and the quick release started making a very loud whistle. Can't imagine that is correct.

    CTIS...soo close to working properly

    Yes I've rebuilt them all now. Fair amount of corrosion although it completely came off with a brass wire wheel, but all filters looked pristine. Did the soapy spray and no apparent leaks now.

    Big IF is if the pressure sensor is accurate.

    CTIS...soo close to working properly

    Haven't found any actual manufacturer specs on the pressure sensor. So I picked up a Dearborn interface. Pretty nice software that Spicer made for the CTIS. Atmospheric pressure is reading 14.0 and it should be reading about 14.6 per my location. On deflation is reading about 5.5 PSI and it...

    Manual pump pushing the fluid to air/oil pump

    How do I take apart the pump seals? I've se n the ones with a hex and those can be spun off. With the circular top fitting I can't figure out how to get it off. It spins but doesn't unthread

    Manual pump pushing the fluid to air/oil pump

    Hand pump is not pushing any fluid out return port, return line is sending fluid to pump. There was significant restriction blowing into the return port. It appears on the bottom of the direction selector there is a very small orifice fluid has to pass through. I removed this and replaced the...

    Check engine light came on while pulling a hill under full throttle

    Let off the throttle and the light went off. Since these motors are so pricey I decided to get a reader, bought a surplus ICE test kit. After fighting with scratched DVDs and old computer hardware I got : 102-07 "Boost Pressure Sensor Not Responding" A quick search indicated a boost pressure...

    Educate me on talking to wabco ABS

    I can talk to engine ecm, transmission tcu, Spicer CTIS. Wabco ABS seems to be a little different? Using Dearborn 3+ and can seem to connect over J1708 but wabco software doesn't really show much data, most fields are blank. J1939 doesn't seem to work at all. This is through the port to the...

    LMTV M1078 All five lights on CTIS solid not flashing.

    Good deal, just found one of these I'll be playing around with shortly.

    LMTV M1078 All five lights on CTIS solid not flashing.

    I thought there were 2 types of black controller, one that could be accessed with the diagnostic port and one that couldn't?

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

    Thanks Ronmar, after I took it off I realized it was on the other side...brain fart. Rebuilt the wheel valve and it was a bit crusty and the stainless orifice looked like it had been overtightened as the hex was a little rounded and had burrs. Just refilled the tire and it didn't push any out...

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

    I'm betting there is just enough of a restriction (most likely wheel valve filter) to keep the valve open. There was some oil in the system so I wouldn't be surprised if those filters lowered their flow a little.

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

    This issue only occured at the increase of pressure to 80+psi with CTIS. At 50ish it wasn't doing it. When in stable state (not bleeding out qrv) all tires hold pressure (after rebuild on 2 that were leaking). Seems like a wheel valve(or two) aren't closing well (aire flow out it pretty fast...

    Please clarify your question. There are 3 1911 wires in my truck, I had to cut them check since they are all connected. I have the "first gen" of the black controller, that I got off eBay.
