    M1078 abroad

    Well, I must admit that (I live in the middle of the mountains) the locker isn't funny when you need to drive a lot steepy tracks with a lot of curves. At the end of a turn sometimes gives you a kick in the ass to remember when engages again.... I do not know if I made a mistake when mounting...

    M1078 abroad

    Hi forum. Someone asked me to publish some more information about our truck and modifications we made, I decide to start a new topic with some pictures / stories.... Now 3 years ago we bought the M1078 from a german company that mounted the living box too. The inside of the living box is made...

    rim bolts, any civilian part number?

    Hello all! Does anyone have a civilian part number of the 18 rim bolts? I need to change the tires and want to have some spare bolts if one or more are rusted, unusable... Thanks! Christian

    New Arduino-based FMTV CTIS controller ROCKS!

    Thank you sir! :-) I'm happy that it works as expected. Mine also works now for 2 years without problems. Sometimes if I go over 1500 m sea level the wet tank sensor does not close and the CTIS thinks there's not enough pressure in the tank. Solution is to deactivate the wet tank pressure check...

    New Arduino-based FMTV CTIS controller ROCKS!

    No, it's not possible because the entire pneumatic system is not able to check ad fill / deflate per axle. And there is only 1 pressure transducer for the entire system. Christian

    What have you done WITH your FMTV ( trips, Rescues etc) NOT: fixes, updates etc

    Enjoy every moment using our truck, it gives a sense of liberty and freedom in this weird moment of the story! Stay healthy and save! Christian

    New Arduino-based FMTV CTIS controller ROCKS!

    CID are the 3 air valves on the CTIS system: C = Control: it's needed to close the quick release valves and get the system under pressure I = Inflate: opens the inflate valve to rise the pressure D = Deflate: opens the deflate valve to lower the pressure. I show it on the display to check the...

    What have you done WITH your FMTV ( trips, Rescues etc) NOT: fixes, updates etc

    It's a pure electric a/c connected to the box batteries. It works also when engine is not running... The box is a fridge box, buid on my sketches. I made only the inside, windows, photovoltaic etc... Christian

    More CTIS questions...

    F and H are 24V and ground pins on the M1078 A0 plug... R, B and C the pins that go to the PCU / solenoids... J.b anc c the pressure transmitter on the PCU T and L the wet tank pressure sensor. Christian

    Buzzer with volume control?

    You're right, but it's a button (sorry for my mistake) that I need to keep pressed to inhibit the warning. It's not permanent. Ithink in EU the law is quite similar than in the US. You cannot inhibit the warning permanently... But I'm not an expert... Christian

    Buzzer with volume control?

    I put a small kill switch in the wire of the buzzer. On startup I press the switch and wait until air is OK. When I'm in road I think also that this buzzer can save lives! Christian
