    M1078 fmtv ctis

    Its a mechanical system. The valves have rubber flappers with springs to stay closed. Fill air comes out the cab valve body and gets split off to the axles then to the wheels pushing past the flappers to the tires. The system should self equalize if one tire is lower than others. To dump the...

    If the brakes engage with the air drained but not with dash valve operation maybe the valve is bad. Does the pedal brake work properly?

    LMTV CTIS does not deflate

    I don't believe you can do that with the lmtv wheels at least not the ones with the large elbow off the valve stem.

    The relays are standard bosch style ones napa has the 12v ones at least. Any car stereo install shop will also have the 12v ones. The 24v ones can be found online inexpensively in bulk. Will

    M939 CTIS Reprogram, Anybody Done It?

    So the diagnostic interface cable was part of an upgrade package that included a new controller. Maybe you need one of the later controller versions to allow for interface and diagnostics.

    Sounds like an issue with dash power if no lights also. When you turn on the main power switch it should activate a relay for the fuel solenoid. The light switch should always have power. Do you have 12 and 24 volt at the 2 posts left side of the power panel? They are labeled.

    Going thru water up to the power panel will cause a lot of issues over time. If the panel has corroded contacts you can clean them with a very small flat file. Once it starts does it drive?

    Some relays require the center pin and some don't. The wire harnesses corrode and you get bad contacts. It could be a relay switch them around see if the problem moves.

    You should start by going thru the power panel make sure all relays and breakers are correct ones and in the correct place. There is a guide under the cover. Will

    Trailer paperwork

    Why won't AZ accept the Florida reg for transfer? If Florida uses the reg for transfer of a trailer, as CT does, and does not issue an actual title for the trailer then there are reciprocation statutes in place requiring AZ to accept it unless the model/type vehicle/trailer in question is not...

    You can manually supply air to the cab valve body output line with a compressor with the truck off.

    TM For M1078A1 trouble shooting Ele?

    I looked on the discs I didnt see any tms. I believe in the diag program it has troubleshooting steps. As computerized as the truck is, maybe paper manuals just dont work. I have spoken with army techs they say first thing they do is plug in the laptop and run diagnostics. My first gen truck...

    M1078A1 2003 Bad transmission problems

    I have a good replacement on hand. I know the transfer case can be separated and replaced independent of the transmission and vice versa. Will

    No heat

    Older Volvo cranks work well and are cheap. Maybe your cab pivot is binding or the catch needs adjustment.
