    CTIS Zero lights....

    The Spicer CTIS troubleshooting PDF was a help. Don't know if it's in the sticky, but do a search for the link and download it. I tested the pins on the PCU and it indicated a bad solenoid. I see you have two A2's, swap the PCU from the good one if the pins test bad to check before you go...

    CTIS Zero lights....

    Don, mine turned out to be the PCU, Pneumatic Control Unit. Under the shield to the right of the shift tower. I swapped that out with a take off someone sold me and presto, everything started working. I do have to have the head lights or park lights on on to see the dots working on this...

    m923 DRAGING BRAKE PROBLEM

    THIS. If you don't have a clue about how airbrakes work, you shouldn't be driving them.

    M939A2 / M923A2 bucking/bouncing at 25 to 35 mph

    Could also be bent driveshaft, wheel bearing tightness or something as simple as Ujoints not lubricated. I have a wicked vibration between 55-65, once I hit top speed it disappears. TM's have some troubleshooting on the issue, I haven't gotten around to dealing with mine yet.

    New M816 in MO need help and advice.

    Brake lines, see any leakage? Are they firm?, tire side rot, the basics for any MV. I don't have any older than 86 so I can't help much. Just be prepared for the worst. I see you have a few already so you know the drill except for the older vehicles. Good luck Sir. Actually I see that M35A2C, so...

    Newbie here! Just bought my first MV m931 and excited to say the least...

    Your call of course, I've driven 5 of the 6 listed in my signature home, the wrecker I had towed only because I couldn't get the time off to retrieve it in the pickup window. I go with your theory, and have a couple tow operators numbers or people in route to help in case of failure.

    Runaway starter on M936? Advice Needed..

    No, I think that's to prevent the starter from engaging when the engine is running.

    Bad battery possible cause of ctis system failure

    The main solenoids are under the cover in the cab to the right of the shift tower. Have you tried run flat mode? Hold the run flat button for a couple seconds. It will cause the system to cycle more frequently, I have to use it on a couple of mine, once it airs completely up, then my system...
