    CTIS Overspeed alarm with no restart

    No, but it shouldn't need to. With the controller disconnected, the tire pressure remains at it's current psi indefinitely. If it's not holding psi, you have a leak(s). Ideally, you do NOT want the CTIS system compensating for leaks.

    Huge mistake. I won a GP auction…. Cali FMTV Project “ ‘Merica”

    "I’m assured that the forklift operator was careful and used both his cane and his seeing eye dog." I've seen GP Complaints (on FB) where the vic was undamaged in the auction photos and then damaged after the sale. The GP response is always "tough s***" Seems they are not responsible for ANY...

    LMTV FMTV Max Elevation?

    I've seen pictures of the "minimum" elevation (after coming from a maximum elevation).

    Same exactly one I own. I've done a couple trucks with it. Slides them apart like butter....

    M1078 fmtv ctis

    Yeah, it's obviously not the CTIS controller itself. Unplugged, the tire pressure should hold whatever the pressure is set for indefinitely. *also note that you can fry the controller plugging/unplugging it while it's power supply is hot so always be sure all power is off before...

    Huge mistake. I won a GP auction…. Cali FMTV Project “ ‘Merica”

    The Monroes are also 2" diameter shock bodies vs the 3" OEM body, iirc. Larger dia equates to larger compression/rebound/reserve chambers internally and thus the ability to dampen more weight. It is a pity that S&S/BAE didn't source a more common industrial shock size. As a result, you can...

    Interior Dome Light?

    Yet they always jump right back into the cab.

    Interior Dome Light?

    When I got my truck, I added an LED flood as a backup light (as well as a strobe and a industrial beeper). The flood light came as a pair, so the second one got tossed into the cab as an interior light. Works like a charm and I think I paid $12 for the pair on Amazon. ;)...

    (Hopefully) New M1078 Owner

    "I was hoping to be able to manually steer the truck when maneuvering it in my driveway. Is this feasible?" Zero chance steering by hand if stationary. But you can manipulate if (although only a very small amount) as it rolls. I had to (flat tow) push a parts truck back into a very narrow...

    Washer Pump / Bottle Grommet

    That reminds me, I've been trying to source the rubber plug(s) that go in the steering column. Seems like a pretty simple part, but I hit three local places and none had a viable fit. It's nothing special, just a rubber sheet metal hole plug. I thought I had seen them in the spreadsheet but...

    Getting LMTV from Hawaii

    As someone who lives, drives, camps on the coast in a high wind, salt spray environment where looking at something long enough you will see it rust...a spray bottle and some Ospho are your friend. Looking at that truck, a lot of the rust is surface rust and Ospho will kill that. It will help...

    Where does this attach?

    Just a guess, but if you have a 1998 M1079 the box would be 1998 as well. I'd guess the box you have now was added to the truck in a refit or repair/replace? The pump would not be on the truck if that were the case (if that chassis wasn't originally set up for it)..

    Where does this attach?

    I'm sure it was part of the OEM heater install for the trucks with the Arctic package.
  17. Third From Texas

    Where does this attach?

    No, it's just above the fuel tank. If you had it, you'd see it.

    Battery Box Latch Easy Fix?

    Remove it, bend it, reinstall? You can make it clamp tight.
  19. Third From Texas

    Where does this attach?

    My OEM heater is removed. The pump is still there, if that's what you want to see a pic of. But it's just a little electric fuel pump min a metal box mounted above the fuel tank.

    2” hitch on A1R extension pintle

    I need to keep the option for reasons. And with the rear entry, I could put a step (incorporated into the 2" hitch) to use when the ladder is stowed (handy-af for Home Depot runs, etc)
