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!

Trailer has been serving me well. Wanted to come back to share a GREAT link I found for parts on the brake actuator system. https://www.hawktet.com/product-category/brakeactuators/brake-actuator-parts/
