I was going thru some of my military photos and thought someone here might be interested in a photo of how a parts truck is created... An inert 2,000-pound laser-guided bomb strikes its target after being launched from an altitude of 4,000 feet, 1977.

My CTIS Dumped my tire pressure while I was driving to the Denton Rallye...Got me thinking that I like the CTIS but am not impressed with the computer control of it. Wondered if a plain regulator valve could be put in place of the computer control...set the regulator for 70psi...check the gauge...

SS Memeber Triple Jim re-engineers electrical items to work better/stronger than the OEM and did a great job on the MEP 002 & 003 generator AC & DC voltage regulator control boards... He is willing to take a look at re-engineering the BLACK BOX (aka PCB BOX/CONTROL BOX) for our 5 tons if he can...

I'm changing out some 5 ton tires and need help getting to the 450 ft lbs the bead nuts need. My torque wrench only goes to 350ft lbs...bolts and torque usually move in a linear measure so can someone with a torque wrench that goes to 450 tell me how much further to turn the nut past 350? I'm...

Can it be done? I want to run HEMMT rims on the front but retain CTIS on the rear axles to help with traction situations...airing the front up/down would be easy with a gladhand hose since its only two tires and the nipples are on the outside... Can the CTIS be blocked to the front axle and...

Anyone know why 5ton tire pressures are set at 70 (or 80 depending on where you look) when the max pressure @max load is 110/125...

Can anyone give a comparison of driving with lockers vs without? I've never had the opportunity to push the traction limits of a 5 ton so what would the non-locker 5 ton experience be vs the detroit locker setup. Would the locker limit you in any way like driving on pavement etc...How does the...

Installed a new dryer from suprman since RRAD was kind enough to paint over everything including the blow off and openings on my old one. Did some pre-intall testing and could not get a voltage reading on the dryer power lead from the truck(with the switches on :-))...it was obvious at GL...
