Hello all.
I have a CTIS ECU based on Arduino. The Arduino sketch is somewhere on the forum, I share it...
What I did not share (because it's quite easy to manage) is the board with 3 relays and the 2 inputs for wet tank switch and pressure transducer.

Hello.
Looking at the oil line I have an idea. Why not add a small bracket on the right side where the breather is? There is a big screw that can hold a bracket that holds the oil line, preventing vibration...

OK, maybe I disunderstand the first point of the very valueable PDF of the 3116 failure points, the Compressor gear nut loose.
I though it was the nut that holds the gear in place... Not the bolts that old the compressor in place to front housing and bracket...

Hello forum.
What is the best way to check the compressor gear nut? It's a common issue and I wonder if it's usefull to check it once per year. But do I need to remove the hole compressor to check the nut, or it's enough the remove the front housing cover?
Thanks a lot and best regards from...
- 3116 Engine year ...1997
- Engine serial number ...7AG04596
- approx. position of the union on the block ...mine looks like the pic you attached, not straight...but it is bone dry, for now...
- has yours broke ...NO
- is yours leaky presently...NO
- I will replase the oil line with a new...
Hello all.
Today I was sniffing around under the truck for some mantainance and notice that of 4 screws that hold the starter and attach it to the flybar, 1 was lost and another one was on the way of loosing... So next time when you are under your truck throw an eye on it...

Hello!
I immagine you use a flexible tube instead of a rigid one... Can you please tell me what type of tube you use? Pressure is not really a problem I think, but temperature?
Thanks a lot!
Yes will do when I have more pictures and work done... :-)
For now I only mounted the throttle switch and do all the electric wiring inside. Need to change vertical exhaust tube from turbo to muffler with a stainless one. Maye there are also mild steel v-band flanges, but I didn't found...
Hello all.
Does anyone know the right transmission oil level with cold oil and stopped engine on a M078? I change from normal oil to ATF and now I have the problem that the level is not clear enough for reading with running engine.
Right now it's about 1 inch below min. with stopped engine...
Hello all.
As promised the Arduino sketch for the CTIS controller. The sketch is complete, but the I/O pin's are set on default. This because depends on the wiring (I made a PCB). The sketch is also able to read / write the default pressures of the 4 terrain modes. You need to write the 4...
If you are changing the tire and the CTIS wheel walve will not close after pressure check or inflating, check the banjo screw if there is some dirt. Happen to me yesterday. If the pressure don't fall under 20 psi between wheel valve and banjo screw the membrane do not close...

Hello all!
I have a strange problem with the air brake pressure gauges. Pressure is about 120psi on all 3 tanks, CTIS is working well, but the 2 pressure gauges shows front brake 90 psi, and rear brake 120 psi. Does anyone had a same situation? The 2 pressure transducer are near the left front...
