I have some for sale in the classifieds. You can take off tank drain lines and pour alcohol into the tanks and it will circulate. I dont knoe about the antifreeze stuff. The tms dont reccommend anything but I have seen military mechanics using the alcohol. Will

You need to drain the tanks every time. That's the number one way to keep the system moisture free. The updated air dryer helps a lot. You can put some alcohol in your system to get all that built up moisture out. It will take a long time if you have ctis and the tires have a lot of moisture in...

Possibly moisture frozen in an air line. Have you ever serviced your air dryer? How old is the cartridge? Do you drain your tanks every time you use the truck? The air dryer helps but doesn't do a superb job of cleaning the air. Especially when you are in a cold climate moisture wreaks havoc in...

I can feel a slight difference in the steering wheel feel on-road with the front axle engaged compared to it disengaged. Both of my trucks are like this. Maybe it's because I am used to the way the trucks drive. I would think experienced drivers in a military unit would pick up on the same...

Yes if you remove the washer then the front axle is not engaged automatically and you can reverse under load in low range

It is my understanding that with low gear engaged, under heavy load, if the operator gave it too much gas from standstill while in reverse then damage could occur to the transfer case that it couldn't handle the high torque of low gear. The transfer case only controls front axle engagement.

The issue is high torque in low gear reverse can damage the transfer case. If you are backing up not under load you should be fine as long as you go easy on the gas. I don't see how engaging the front axle in motion and in low gear would cause any problems as long as you weren't going too fast...

So the operator would have the best possible traction when low is engaged. You would need it if you were stuck with a heavy load or pulling something heavy. I'm sure the low reverse issue was determined later down the line long after the design was in full production. If there was no low gear...

If you don't have any air in cab and you are building pressure then you have a bad pressure protective valve. Are your guages going to around 150psi and you hear air venting out the bottom of the air dryer?
