    Most likely pressure sensor, solenoid, or the HUEI pump.

    M-1078 Door Handles/ Interesting Topic?

    I installed a kit like this from amazon 5 ears ago and it’s still working. I use it at least 5 times a day. While we are traveling.

    ECO Hubs Who needs 3:07 gears?

    “Launch It” that’s funny! That’s like watching a space x falcon heavy take off. Honestly loosing the exhaust braking effectiveness is the worse and just want it bake. Before I rarely used the brakes. Now I’m always using them.

    ECO Hubs Who needs 3:07 gears?

    On the WTEC2 there is a manual lockup program option, used for oilfield I think. Auto-manual switch and engage-disengage switch. I suspect there is something similar in the wtec3 programming. That might get you some better slow speed ex brake performance, but you would have to be sure to...

    ECO Hubs Who needs 3:07 gears?

    Definitely sluggish in comparison. The 3.07 gears were super peppy off the start!

    CTIS

    https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/ctis-5-flashing-lights.217772/ Read that forum. I had this problem and it ended up being the valve body. Rebuilt it and everything started working.

    CTIS Overspeed alarm with no restart

    No, most likely the CTIS system is not working and you can figure that out later. You can air the tires up like any other tire, there are valve stems. Holding air is another question.

    CTIS Overspeed alarm with no restart

    Disconnect the CTIS controller. It doesn’t need to be plugged in for the vehicle to operate. If still having the problem start looking past the CTIS. Most likely a grounding or electrical problem. Mine had a loose wire on the starter solenoid.

    Super clean installation. Well done.

    LMTV FMTV Max Elevation?

    That explains a lot. Why she was slower to start and why there was more black smoke even after warming up. I think the overall conclusion is: Expect it to take longer to start, slight loss of power and not burning the fuel as efficiently causing e

    LMTV FMTV Max Elevation?

    No power loss? Yet! But just curious what starting it at higher altitudes will be like. Is it a concern or can I drive it to 20,000 feet with out concern?

    LMTV FMTV Max Elevation?

    I’m a flat lander from Florida driving an 2003 M1079A1 with a 3126B asking the question! As I’m currently parked at 8,800 ft above sea level. What is the maximum elevation our trucks can reliably start and operate? What effect does elevation have on diesel engines? Max elevation for the 3116...

    Sounds like trouble

    Also an unbalanced drive shaft can cause it.

    Using upper stock frame rails for subframe

    Oh and why you see bolts on the middle frame attaching to the bottom frame is because mine started as a M1078 then purchased an older M1079 and swapped the middle and top frame. Which had all the mounting points.
