    Air Brakes

    . Driver's Side allows you to fully "charge" the air system. Really good for finding leaky air lines, problems with CTIS, a pinhole in an air tank, leaky tank drain valves, poppet valves on a gearbox, and so on. (Everything powered by air should function) The passenger side applies the brakes...

    Air Brakes

    . There is a pretty good writeup on the MTVR / LMTV forum about how to diagnose the CTIS system. The TM's have information too. There is a troubleshooting guide (link below) that gets directly to the point. Might be a place to start. If nothing else, looking at the pictures and understanding...

    . Okay, so I am with you 100%. It isn't but in the middle 90's here, but the humidity is 80%. Feels pretty dang awful out there! When you get cooler weather, be sure to spray everything air related on the outside of the firewall. Inside under the dash too. DOT has a requirement for air...

    . Not trying to be a pest, but what about the other leak toward the back of the truck? Maybe hooking a compressor to the truck for quiet time air leak research... That is cheap. A little soap and a spray bottle and some air.

    Air Brakes

    . What about a squirt bottle with some soapy water in it... Good way to figure out exactly where the air is coming from. Possibly with the truck off and shop air connected to the truck? --- The "blow off sound from up front" that you described is a separate issue from the "rear axle driver...

    . Silly as it seems - post videos to YouTube or one of the other "streaming platforms" and put a link here. We don't have the ability to host our own videos. Never bothered to ask why but there are plenty of reasons I guess.

    Air Brakes

    . You have the M934, so you have "real" air brakes. Applying air to the left (drivers) side gladhand will release the parking brakes. Park on flat ground and CHOCK YOUR WHEELS just to be safe. Check your "house" air compressor pressure. 120#, and no more than 150# Get yourself a gladhand...

    Air Brakes

    . You asked about how many pictures... I believe there is a limit of 10 per post and you can post pictures until you get tired. :cool: About the air problem... Do you by chance happen to have "house air" at your house / shop? Or an air compressor just sitting there in the garage waiting to...

    Readiness Sustainment Maintenance Site @ Fort Riley, Kansas Hate to be the bearer or bad news about mileage, but military vehicles are exempt from mileage (odometer) requirements. If the speedometer is swapped out, chances are good that it got changed and started at zero. Most are low mileage...

    . Well Congratulations! You may not be able to go as fast as a Class A Motorhome, but you can definitely get out in the woods and have fun. Even better that your girl is happy with the idea! Just don't wear her out on the idea because you are always working on the truck. Easy to get wound...
