Remember too that you can have a manual version of CTIS but it won't be "central". Meaning the Jeep off-road guys do it with some fancy valve stem caps that will lower your tire pressure (for sand for example) to maybe 20psi. Then with your truck's air compressor and a half hour or so, air...

Hi Austin!
Let's get you kicked off right into this adventure of Big Green Trucks!
Welcome to the outfit!
Download the Technical Manuals (TM's) for your truck. They will BORE you to death if you sit down and try to read even just one, but it will help for you to thumb through the "-10"...

Like Crazyguyla mentioned, the seal keeps the oil from flowing past the seal on the shaft - so spring side in - will be what you want. You might also using thread lock (NOT Stud Lock!) on those bolts into the soft metal. The blue stuff... Vibration more than anything is why they might come...

So, Will... Does that add another reason to drive these vehicles regularly?
Or maybe if you can't do that or don't have time - maybe a trickle charger on the batteries over the winter?
.
Search "Milwaukee Fuel" on YouTube and you will find some pretty good reviews that talk about battery life. The ones that I have are pretty amazing! I have watched several that pulled all 18 BUDD wheels off a semi and trailer without a recharge too... Of course they aren't 30 year old...

With where you live - the critters haven't learned they need to run.
That is incredibly NEAT!!
Unless you happen to be on the Dinner Menu late one night...
Then all bets are off!

A little rust gives it character! Heck, a squirt of paint would dress it up if you wanted to - but it isn't required. That is a heck of a truck though!!
.
Agreed! PVC pipe the right size works well and with the "heat and freeze" technique, the speedi sleeve almost requires no effort to seat the the sleeve - if you work fast.
.
Bad, but at least you found a good potential spot for the problem. Maybe it can be marked clearly, maybe even "pictured" really well or the ports "wired" with colored wire on both sides or even colored yarn will work. Then maybe remove the valve and hopefully clean it up. Could be that...

The January issue of Stars and Stripes had an article on x27 color night vision (super upgraded starlight technology).

I can't swear to it, but reading this (the linked page) it seems like a "crowd funded" project. It won't be out of development and into production until April of 2022. I was a part of a RPV helicopter deal like this and it fell on its face and everyone (most everyone?) lost their money...

Not really. It can, but then the truck has to build air again for the second lugnut or whatever. Best plan is a Milwaukee Fuel cordless.
DEFINITELY don't use it and expect that you will get consistent results torquing lugnuts onto the truck or you might find yourself "wheel-less" going down...

Hi Erik,
Welcome to the outfit and your new adventure in ownership of a big green truck! Seems to me that the guys have you headed off in the right direction. Be sure to download the TMs (Technical Manuals) for your "new to you" truck. Lots of troubleshooting information in those crusty...

Welcome to the outfit!
Sounds to me like this big green truck action is a family affair at your place. Between you and dad having three trucks - you already have one more truck than people to drive them :cool:
Yes sir... 3rd in line here asking for pictures too. Some of your truck and...
