Update #8 There did end up being something obstructing air flow in the suspected line built into the wheel hub. See attached pictures. I'm not exactly sure what it is, but my guess is old RTV & sand. It was not a complete blockage so air would pass but it would hold back enough pressure to...

Back to my CTIS issue that I have posted a bunch on the tread about since February. Update #7 I removed both sides of the rear axle. New seals all around. Still have the same problem! I'm total out of ideals. I have replaced virtually ever part from the controller to the wheels & the valve...

I sold the generator but figured I would share this video I forgot I recorded.

Another update video! Had some issues with my truck locking into 2nd gear. Found some bad wires. I go through how to troubleshoot the WTECIII on the FMTV & then my own issue.

This video might help you as well. Troubleshooting codes can be a rabbit hole!

I have ~34 hours on it now. With the tank completely full, I got 9 hours of run time on my off grid cabin. Still had fuel in it but I packed up. Not bad! This is going to be left out there as my backup power, My MEP-802A went down & was very happy I left it there last trip. It wasn't running...

After thinking about it for well over a year, I made a spare tire carrier. Made it with some 2 inch angle iron & a generic Ford Super Duty spare tire holder between the 2 rearward cross members. I'm not a great welder but it should hold up. There is enough room between the rear tool box & the...

I I had the WIX one on before this one for a few years & had no issue. I get filters for free from time to time & had a Fleetguard one that fit so that's on there now. I'm sure it will be fine. I was thinking about having some extra fuel line & adapters on hand. If I did, I could have bypassed...

Good stuff. The LED lights are on my list to do. Did them all around my M1078 & it's nice to know you'll never need to do it again.

So, took it out this weekend. Just before going to sleep, I checked on the generator & found some fuel leaking. Fuel/water separator failed at the drain fitting! Tried to tighten it & it got way worse to the point I couldn't run the generator. Glad I had the L.I.P.S. for a backup out at the...

Got the mount repaired over the past few days. Spent the first day getting it all opened up. Some of these bolts are a big PITA to get at! Drilled the 1/2in hole in a plate I had so it would make the most contact with what was left & then welded it. Not bad for my $80 harbor Freight Tools...

I'm good at doing things for the first time! Here's my guess on how it happened... Over the years, water made its way in & it ended up settling out in the mount there making it weak. I got it & mounted it on the trailer. When I tow it, I do a lot of off-road to get to my off grid cabin. Some...

It's been a while, but a problem popped up. The mounting tab on the generator head broke that is on the output power lugs side! For the longest time, I could hear a clunky type vibration noise but could never figure it out. Must have been this before it completely failed. Noticed the...

I like the idea of the reel. May need to do this on mine.

I had no luck finding one myself when looking. Just ended up making something else work.

I sent you a message directly with the information to the place I went!

I didn't think it would matter in the video so I didn't say. It was the old Driveshafts Unlimited in San Antonio, TX. They were bought out by INT Truck Parts.

So, I decided to tackle another issue on the truck. Major fix complete!
