    Diagnosing CTIS M1078

    I got back to the issue of the leak on front left hub. I procedurally disassembled the tire, drum, removed the planetarium, and pulled the hub. No big deal except one. I have not read the manual but I need to and that is in regard to pulling the rear seal. Seems as if the spindle is larger than...

    Diagnosing CTIS M1078

    Just catching up on what has evolved thus far: First I filled the air tanks and found the air switch that signifies to the CTIS controller that air pressure has been obtained is working. Secondly, I performed the test mentioned earlier in this article to see if my manifold was working and where...

    Diagnosing CTIS M1078

    You the man!!! This is one of those posts that will be around to help others for a long time. Thank you greatly and I'll let you know how this turns out. I figure if I put charged air line from my shop compressor into one of the drains on the wet tank I should be able to work without noise and...

    Diagnosing CTIS M1078

    Looking again for the assistance and guidance of Ronmar Sir, here is where I am. The first thing I proceeded with was to clean my wheel valves and as figured they were very crusty. I removed the supply air line from the wheel, cleaned the valve, and then filled the tire with air to 65 psi, and...

    Diagnosing CTIS M1078

    Ronmar Thank you for the skinny on the unit. I think you have given me a place to really start diagnostics. I know that I have bad valves at the wheels, the ones right before the Schrader Valves. My tires are pretty much flat and when inflated to correct pressures it is 3 days and they are flat...

    Yes, I have downloaded the Tech Manual and thank you for sharing that. My question and I haven't found it in the site is that pertaining to Software for Computer diagnostics of the system. Is it obtainable? And where might it be located? And has any person on this site done it and know it? I...

    Power Distribution Panel M1083A1 10/98

    I am going back to a discussion earlier in this thread that discussed the Power Distribution Panel on the 1083A1. I am wondering if anyone has one for sale? I think NDT showed me a picture of one to clarify what I had. I am definitely becoming more intimate with this truck and I think becoming...

    Power Distribution Panel M1083A1 10/98

    Dude, you are like my HERO!!! I haven't mastered how to give you brownie points for this on the site but be it known I have been looking for these schematics for a while. Went to National Guard, they gave me everything they had but as far as they went was to the "10" Operators Manual. If you...

    Power Distribution Panel M1083A1 10/98

    It has been a while since I last wrote on the electrical issues. If I ever get bored with life I go and work on the 1083A1. I can repair a problem and then close the door on the cab, come back a day later, and I'll have a new problem. I got the turn signals working, the horn is now working and...

    Allison Code 2511 Output Speed Sensor/ M1078

    The photo is actually a connection for a sensor. I cannot tell quite where you are for sure. I believe Suprman said that was an Input Speed Sensor. The Output Speed Sensor is located on the right side of the truck ie passenger side and is on the Transfer Case. The through hull is on the front of...
