For better or worse, Liquid Nails Fuze It. Seemed to rate well on the internet and a few of the videos I watched (independent ones). I did screw it to the metal as well, so it's not just adhesive holding it together. I did a trial of it with the ACP and it held well enough that I trust it for...

No pics but some progress. Big morning: the roof plywood is on the truck and screwed/bonded to the structure. I have committed to the alu composite panel and have a stash of them at home. If all goes well, the pieces for the roof will be on the roof in the morning. Still getting over the $...

I believe the rotating beacon switch on the dash sends power via a sheathed 2 wire cable to a cannon plug, not the single wire connectors in your pic. It is the line which goes to the center of the rear cab wall. I'm not at home right now, so the sheath may just be a tape wrap but can check...

FYI - Thanks for the help, got the truck home today with the unplugged CTIS. Will take a look at the manual conversion set up before diving through the troubleshooting process.

After a LONG morning... Starting re-assembly: Reassembled: Back home and looking only slightly different at this point: Super stoked with the results though and everything went back together without a hitch. With the CTIS unplugged, the truck ran perfectly all the way home, never missing...

My insurance is through Progressive, as a commercial vehicle for private use. It is extremely affordable, but for the chassis only. The agent said to give him a call back when I have something built up and he can insure it as an accessory, with the same type of policy they use for adding...

I will weigh it when get it back. The chassis was right at 17k when I started, so I'll have a good yardstick (plus or minus half a tank of gas) as to what it weighs. I am very curious to know too.

PAINT!!!!! Looking at this being done in just ~2 days, I am quite content to have outsourced it. I can't imagine how long it'd have taken me to get this done. Looking forward to Mon morning!

There is SO much truth to that statement. I feel as if I put in a month's worth of effort in the last 5 days and the visual change was virtually zero. Thanks Mullaney, that's the hope. It's a little strange that I don't see more people building them this way. I didn't find it all that...

Not yet, still working through it.

A few pics from Weds... The drive down: Prepping for disassembly: Disassembled: Heading back to pick it up on Mon morning. REALLY looking forward to that!

Forgot to mention the tires were all holding air. They were still robustly inflated when I got back down there today.

Not quite sure what your question is NDT. I will look at the CTIS component behind the pass kick plate to see if there is something mechanical wrong with it. Someone on the FB group suggested that, along with a servicing of the dryer.

Ronmar - I didn't note this when I was down there but it was in HWY mode and I think the indicator was flashing (just that one). Maybe the HWY and RUN FLAT. I am forgetting now. It was doing something though, not just all dark. With the truck functional enough to get home, I called it a day...

Starting to scour TM's but if anyone can point me to the correct one, I would appreciate it.

On site. Turned on ignition. Still cycling, 2x/sec or so. Unplugged CTIS controller, all good. Does that mean my controller just took a dump?

Thanks gents. Packing up now to head down to troubleshoot.

Should also say that someone went out and tried the ignition this morning and the solenoid is still clicking after everything cooling down overnight.

Need some help from the forum's collective knowledge.... Took my truck ~100 miles yesterday to Eugene to have the habitat structure blasted and painted. Drive down was hot with a bit of traffic but went smoothly. The fan cycled a bit more than expected but ran everything ran fine despite my...
