Well my GTG just turned into fubar. I talked with Andy and it seemed like things were working, but the tire was not coming up. I took the CTIS hose off as he suggested and there was a schrader valve core all ready installed. So I started adding air into that one, everything was great until...

The steel protector is in the way and I can't exactly tell where it is leaking from. It seems like it is bypassing the tire all together, is there another location to manually inflate or am I at the right spot?

What is the procedure to manually inflate a front tire? I am trying to use the schrader valve on the outside of the tire, is there another way? The tire is holding air, but it is so low, I do not want to drive it around before adding air. The air seems like it is hissing out right behind...

I did, and I tightened it down with pliers after just using my fingers and getting the leak.

The CTIS is disconnected at the control box inside the cab, it was that way when I got the truck. I am trying to inflate the tire through the valve stem on the rim, all it does is hiss air out like I am using a blow gun. The schrader valve is working, the tire has been slowly loosing air and I...

I am having trouble with air leaking and it appears that it is the fan actuator/shutter valve. I took mine apart and cleaned it. When I was trying to disassemble it I was not sure how it all came apart, so I loosened the thermal probe nut (jam nut?) and then realized a good smack on the bench...

Thank you, that is what I was looking for.

Do you have part numbers or at least what they are called? I have been searching the site and have not found them yet. Everything that I think they would be ends up being some obscure part. I am really waiting to see how you do the fifth wheel module, hint, hint.

I would have never guessed a 5 speed auto was not an overdrive, it makes my trans swap an even better idea. Do you know what ratio the transfer case is? I thought I read that it was overdrive and then low, but I have not confirmed any ratios yet.

I will probably start looking for a 920 series, I really wanted to bob the 5 ton anyways. The funny thing is that I thought the 5 speed auto had overdrive, so when I change in the 6 speed it ends up with two overdrive gears. Reverse won't be as harsh on the transfer case either. I pulled the...

Soni, What is the GVW difference between a 939 and your truck? After removing the tag axle, would they be similar? I do similar jobs, except I am on the opposite end of the country. I know Patracy has done one on an 939, but it seems that he is not using it for a primary work vehicle. There...

I guess I will need my own thread, don't want to hijack anything.

Between you and Soni, I have wasted most of my weekend dreaming. Now I want to make a "VEMTT" (Very Expandable Mobile Tower Truck). I build radio, television, and cellular towers, I just bought an M932A1 to make into a utility truck. Now that I have seen the versatility, I may just make one...

What year is your truck? I think mine is technically a C-7 as well, I just like the sound of a 3126 better.

I just spent hours reading all 101 pages of this thread. Soni your truck is amazing. I just acquired an M931A2 and you are making me have crazy ideas. I am trying to make a utility truck and I was going to bob it, but now I don't know what I am going to do. I am absolutely interested in...

I figured he was talking C-7 or 3126 since the 3116 is mechanical. My truck is a C-7 with an MD3060P so it should work for me.

That would work. I am going to take a look at my civy 5.9, the replacement alternators seem to fit both motors. Maybe I can make something work from parts I have all ready.

That is great news, I love my cat dealership, but not so much the allison dealership.

Looking at the alternators that I would normally have, my guess would be that 100 AMP would be more than sufficient. I see they have output voltages of 12 volt and 15 volts, my normal 12 volt alternator would be about 14 volts, should I consider the 15 volt version?

Can you guys point me in the right direction for a decent converter? The trailer brakes are going to draw more than the transmission would.
