    Manual CTIS Mounting on Cab Overhead

    It’s really noisy when you release the air from the axles after pumping up the tires. So I absolutely need some sort of muffler for it. The first time I bled off the pressure my wife just about went through the roof. Can’t do that more than once! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Spare Tire Cylinder

    We did explore rebuilding the original unit but discovered it would require welding and all sorts of heroics. So we opted for the Tractor Supply solution. Seth, no change in performance other than a little close clearance on the aft end of the tire due to placement of 90 degree fitting. No...

    M1078 runs slow

    Thanks to Snowtrac Nome and Superman for input. We chased down all the things you guys mentioned. Good points and we eliminated them all. CAT ET was only option in the end game and local CAT dealer treated us well on labor. Yep. You are so right. Without CAT ET or a good scanner you’re just...
