Muh widdle bare hippy feets hurtz jus lookin at that.... ;) Like the steps on the M1079, great traction but HELL on bare feet (and I'm at the beach 90% of my life). I had to carpet over the stairs to my habitat. Even the dog wouldn't step on those things. LOL ymmv

I was kinda thinking the same. In any event, it's a $2000 solution to a $0 problem. The OEM and similar fixed steps work just fine. But I wouldn't give 2-cents for something that you have to get out to lower (so you can get out to lower it). Hanging upside down out the door to deploy a step...

One of the ones posted above is powered (pic). That's a still from the FB video. The author didn't share where they got it, though.

Does your CTIS controller function? Does the issue persist if the CTIS controller is unplugged (best to always plug/unplug the controller with ignition OFF)?

My issue with deployable steps is, if they aren't motorized how do you get them down? Do you just sit in your truck and wave frantically at other people in the parking lot and point down in hopes that they will walk over and lower your step? Do you take a passenger and have them come around...

Cheaper to buy a forklift (and more practical). ;)

What happens in Walmart, stays in Walmart. That's my moto...

Not true, I only have the one that came in my truck. But Amazon has them and I've posted links in the past... https://www.amazon.com/s?k=Lev-o-gage&i=automotive&crid=31RPG5PGG9QDF&sprefix=lev-o-gage%2Cautomotive%2C138&ref=nb_sb_noss_1...

Yeah, I'd not waste the money on a Neihoff. Not that they aren't baddass alts, but at the end of the day they are simply another commercial grade HD piece of hardware. There are a number of HD 24v alts sold, just find one with the desired output/price.

No, no...bookends ! All the kids are using them these days. Your welcome...

I'll be happy to send you my old one. It would make for a fine conversation piece sitting on your desk. ;p

Yeah, CTIS controller for LMTV. As it sits, it should work with any truck that uses the same Spicer controller as the LMTV. So if the M35's controller is interchangeable, so to would be this. Beyond that, you'd have to ask Plasa. What makes it special is that it does everything that the...

Yep, works awesome !

It certainly is at he bell housing but I swear I saw this as being part of the fording procedure. Plug it for fording, normal operation open (as pictured) to breath. But it wouldn't be the first time I remembered wrong. Of course I can't find a thing in the TM about fording procedures now... ;)

Here's a pic of the breather and the bolt retainer hole.

It's in the TM but it's easy to spot (assuming that it's on your model of Alison, but I'm pretty sure all LMTV have it). On the base of the trans there are two holes (both threaded, one will have a bolt in it). The first is a hole all the way thru that acts as a vent/breather. The second is...

. Ah, yeah. My bad. I was thinking of the airsoft pellets that people are always recommending for balance.

Here's a good read. It's more for the non-mechanic car owner, but it covers most of the bases: https://www.mistertransmission.com/water-in-the-transmission/

I think it's actually the adhesive used to adhere the asbestos to the clutch plate that fails when exposed to water but you get the drift. Easy enough to verify, just google "water in transmission fluid " and you should find no shortage of discussions. A lot of people were puzzled as to how...
