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...
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...
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.
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...
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.
2nd the collector plate. I just plated my tractor for collector, I read an article somewhere that if it's not used as general transportation(as in driving to work everyday) you're good to go. I plane on plating all mine collector as their registrations come up for renewal. I drive one of my...

Hi Walt, I work nights M-F so you might want to set up a time LOL..... 3 AM generally pisses off people... I'll send you my number via PM to call on a weekend in the afternoon. I'm no guru, Most of what I've learned is in the TM's or the great people on here, but I'd be happy to try and answer...
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...
I've been told they are to secure the windshield in the down position. Very nice pics! Great paint job on the shop van! I'd give my left you know what for a gun ring.... Very cool!
