    Hello guys. Sorry to bother you, but I have a question about ctis and the front axle. I rebuild my front axle due ctis seals replacement. it should not be the reason, but now if I power on the ctis and the system is pressurized, the front axle and differential is also under pressure and air...

    Howto unlock wedge brake nut

    Hello guys. Today I tried to do the brake maintenance of my M1078 A0 truck. The brake itself was quite easy to rebuild, but I was not able to loose the nut that fix the brake chamber, to be able to unscrew the chamber from the brake assembly. How did you loose that nut, or can I try with a big...

    Winter front. M1078

    It goes nearly down till bottom of the bumper, to cover also the 2 air inlets. What I like is that I can flip it up to get some air through the radiator if temperatures rise. Plus I do not need to rise the cab. At that temps I prefer to be fast. At -30C engine temp is around 95C, at -10C I can...

    Winter front. M1078

    Not the nicest hack, but works for me: It's a thermo cover for windows, punch a few holes, few cable straps and you're done. Worked for me also at -30°C, and you can easily flip it up if you are on highway and engine get's hot. Christian

    block cab air springs when offroading?

    Hello forum. Do you suggest to block the air ride system when doing heavy offroad, like on steep hills / dunes? What else you would do when crossing a sandy desert zone, except air pressure and 4wd mode engaged? Christian

    CTIS Transducer

    You can let the 150psi sensor in, it's not a problem. But you need to change the mode presets to read the correct value from the transducer. Since my ECU can set 4 diffrent pressures you can put almost every pressure per mode. Easiest thing is to inflate / deflate the tires to the right...

    CTIS Transducer

    No, the arduino reads the value from every transducer, what change is the value compared to the pressure. Christian

    winch: hydraulic motor maintenance / repair

    Yes right! Sorry about my bad english. There's a TM about the winch maintenance, but nothing about the motor. Seems it's not serviceable, but I can't immagine that a hydr. motor is not serviceable. What I don't understand is why leaks when winch is not in use, and under load it's almost the...

    winch: hydraulic motor maintenance / repair

    it's not the valve on the hydraulic motor. It's a small valve with a spring inside, quite easy to grab with 2 fingers and pull out the pin. it sits on top of the winch friction enclosure, near the winch drum, not on the hydr. motor.

    winch: hydraulic motor maintenance / repair

    The valve on top of the winch? Thatbyou can pull out with 2 fingers? But it should not completely full with oil, only 2/3 right? so I do not understand where the oil came from and spill out from there. Or do I not understand the function of this valve? I thought its's to compensate the oil/air...
