A3 Deuce CTIS Question and wheel NSN

[Craig C]

Anyone on here with an A3, need some info for a friend with one. Anyone know the p/n for the filter on the air system.....on the drivers side of the engine that is for the CTIS system........I have pics I can send to you if you need to see the part placement.

Also need the wheel NSN for the CTIS equipped rims as well as the non CTIS equipped rims if there is such a thing......

Thanks............

Where are you talking? The air dryer or the regulator that is on the inside frame rail by driver front tire?

You can disable the CTIS crap on that rim and pretend it is not there if you have too. Check with Erik's military surplus, he has a lot of A3 stuff and had good information when I had questions about mine. CTIS works best when powered off and left off, just my opinion but it is not worth the price of parts to keep it going. I cut mine off a week after I got the truck and have never had a problem with it.

try Erik's Military and Industrial Surplus - Military Vehicle Parts, Industrial and Military Surplus Electronics I know he has air dryer filters and some CTIS wheel parts

Filter

The filter is on the driver's side of the engine midway back and down......probably like you said the dryer filter.

I have passed on the Erik's site info as well as the info about turning it off etc, which I too have heard in the past.

Thanks,

Still trying to figure sorry. There is the fuel filter on the drivers side of the engine. The trans filter right front . The regulator is in the frame rail front driver side and air dryer is mid frame in back on mine.

There is nothing special about the wheels to make them ctis.They just have a different size valve stem assemble to work with the ctis hoses.Here are a couple of pictures of the regular A3 wheel plumbing and an A3 wheel with a regular valve stem.

A guy I know just said it may be they by passed the water separator using the big copper line.....so we will see. I no nothing abt these trucks and am just trying to help a buddy who picked it up thru drmo.

For me though I'd sure like some larger super single rims for my cargo deuce.

Thanks,
