FMTV tire/wheels

[charlesmann]

Picked up my 395/85 tire/wheel assy yesterday. I ended up with 1 new, 1 80% tread and 5 90+% tread with titan rims that are countersunk on both sides for the lug nuts.
Im wanting to remove the CTIS filling line, and what looks to be a 1 way valve, and instal a normal valve stem. I found them for $37 ea off memphis equip.

I was also trying to find the TM/s for the 1078/1083 to ref the procedures for removing all that inflation junk. Any of you have any insight?

I could, since i have to open up the wheel halves to instal a new air filling valve, just swap the tires to my current 5 tn rims, but then thats buying more wheel orings.

Thoughts?? Advise??

Wheel O rings are $3 each for a 5 ton Much cheaper than valve stems

LMTV o rings can be reused and use super 77 or 94 spray when putting them back together.

Those valve stems in the LMTV wheels will work after you remove the ctis elbow.

I would just leave the regulator and line on and put a boss plug in the inlet regulator side and leave it at that.

Where you getting orings for $3? Every place iv looked at are well more than $3.

What will leaving the regulator do for balance? Leaving the ctis junk on the 5tn rim, w/o the counterweight causes an out of balance at hwy speed.

No balance issues. It has to do with the amount of beadlock bolts is the offset in weight or something along those lines. Compared to the large gap between them on a 5 ton wheel. I've ran em with the regulator and even extra stem with no issues.

For 5 ton wheels with 3/4" studs
