Yesterday's trip up and over Mt Lemmon, accompanied by another forum member from out of state . We enjoyed sun and snow and rain in no particular sequence.

Yeah, I had an air line with a glad hand also. CTIS dumped all 6 tires to 17psi at the entrance gate to Ft Riley. I stopped and manually aired them back up and it dumped them again..... no more CTIS for me :)

I'll see if I can get you some pics tomorrow. Going from memory, I want to say standard 12pin connectors. I think I have one if you need it. Let me know and I'll dig around. The gladhands and hoses are readily available for about $75/pr. As stated above, they should be on the trailer. I have...

Disable it now, or disable it roadside some day when it deflates all your tires and refuses to reinflate... In all seriousness, there's probably a leak you haven't found or a sensor malf. Try pressurizing it with a portable compressor so you won't have engine noise, and also happy hunting with...

Fuel consumption is not directly tied to rpm. There's a sweet spot, frequently around 1600 rpm for many diesel engines. Running rpm higher or lower than this sweet spot will increase fuel consumption. Also, changing gearing by such a huge margin is likely to have a good deal of unintended...

It's a political thing. The firearm confiscation movement instructs their followers to report any firearm sighted as "gun pointed at me" and any time they see/hear shooting to report it as " shooting at me". The results should be obvious. ..

I haven't done it. That being said, it's almost certainly more work than you want to regularly undertake, and certainly more than you want to do at a trailhead or on the side of the road.

I've got an email that says the EUCs have been accepted and are fine, and I have a status on my account showing otherwise. Which one is accurate? I hate to be a bother. But I'd hate even more to wait patiently for months only to be told my EUC wasn't submitted in a timely manner and they want...

If you get it, replace that push button switch with a 3 lever switch. Those push button switches are known to fail and take a bunch of stuff with them. The brake lights are actuated by the airsystem when the brakes are applied. As stated above, it may be a bad ground or a bad switch. Also as...

Someone should take a 5ton (or larger) and just towbar him home. It'll be a lot better working on his deuce in his driveway with infrastructure and support than working on it in a parking lot under stress. A 5ton truck can easily towbar the deuce safely, without having the brakes...

Varies by state. Interpretation varies by individual.

RPM isn't the same as load. But yeah, running it wide open up a steep hill will be sufficient load.

I think this is intended as a for sale ad....

I think you'll find this to be enlightening - http://www.plantengineering.com/industry-news/electrical-news/single-article/a-close-look-at-wet-stacking/e0b399904af236d9f863742ca8f03440.html By all means start and run your truck once a month. Idle it for a bit, then run it up the nice steep...

Idle before use = good. Idle to cool down after use = good. Starting the vehicle and idling it without actually using it = bad. Once upon a time there was a heavy diesel generator, for backuo power for a hospital I believe. After many years there was actually a need to use it. When they went...

Nobody - the us gov doesn't release armor....

The first time? It just took a gentle tug from one M923 on 53's... we won't talk about the 2nd time....

New tan ones are in tje classifieds for $300.

I strongly suggest you don't contact the DMV. I had a similar situation, and it resulted in a bunch of stress for all involved. Just have GP fix it and go from there... that is by far the fastest easiest fix.

No moisture, but dust. And running a diesel without a load is worse than not running it at all. (Wetstacking)
