I knew I'd read a similar problem somewhere...

Rgr all.
If it's the controller I'm likely going to go with a manual control or possibly an Arduino-based solution. The OEM controllers simply don't seem to last (this one didn't have 10K miles on it yet). Seems most every truck has had issue with them at some point so I wouldn't really be...
Revisiting this:
While troubleshooting months ago, I poked around the dash and the usual suspects. Everything I checked that should be grounded, was grounded. One thing I had done was disconnect the CTIS controller. I was unable to replicate the issue I was having (the gauges and dummy lights...
I made my own but have never really used it. Been a couple years and I don't recall the specifics, but the truck has to be running and in neutral with the brakes off or something for it to work. Whatever it was always made me a bit nervous on any surface with a grade and I never have a...
I suppose not. I mean you could do the same right off a brake line if you wanted..
But just to be on the safe side, I'd still recommend tapping the wet tank.
:)
Don't want to hijack the thread further, but here's the TM that's here on SS already). I'm pretty certain this is the same little booklet I got (I'll know in the morning).
And here's the part that I got wrong. It says "Short as possible" and I may have remembered it as "not extended". Keep in...
I'm gonna see if I can locate it online first. I'm not really set up for flat bed scanning at the moment and the manual has some water-damaged pages. But if I can find it in digital format, I'll get a scanner and deal with it.
Sure thing.
The chains are still in the boxes and never opened.
The feet just have different-sized holes/pins for various vehicle/mounting eyes.
And I'll snap a pic of the TM page with the "do not extend" details...
I love the look, size, weight of the Ibis Tek ones. But I've read some horror stories about them...
That said, we did manage to break one of the arms with my first one of the steel telescopic towbars doing a recovery. I'd borrowed feet and we started our first turn out of the yard. The yard...
I had one of those in the garage with no feet. I'd been keeping a eye on the auctions for feet and scored a complete NOS set (bar, four sets of various sized feet, and the chain/bumper mechanism (that's a $3000 scalper value for only $190). ;) Inside the crate was the manual, the first I'd...
I'm sure you already know it (but I didn't until I got the towbar TM for that model) but those telescoping towbars are NOT meant to be used in any of the extended positions (which makes me wonder why they even have all the extra holes as they simply become weak points). Only tow with the bar...
Yeah, I need to pop the sample port open and pull a sample to find out exactly what's in mine. It's and A1R and has a red tint to it. I suspect it's ATF but want to be sure. General Disorder has the same truck as I have. It's coming up on 10k miles and I'm going to do a full service on the...
