    M1078 fmtv ctis

    I tried removing the wheel valves today and putting a valve core in the shrader valve so I could air it up but the valve core wouldn’t seat deep enough. The nipple stuck probably 1/8” out of the stem. I event took the core out of the stem on the wheel valves itself and tried using it but same...

    M1078 fmtv ctis

    As far as what’s keeping me from driving, there’s this issue with the CTIS and now I have a Air dryer with the heater unplugged because the mechanic put a air dyer with a 12V heater on it. DOT inspectors don’t like to see things unplugged. I have the same concern with disconnecting the CTIS. I...

    M1078 fmtv ctis

    Thanks everyone, for your input! Well I got in the truck and drove it to the parts store to get some penetrating oil to start the process of loosening up the screws so they don’t break off when I go to replace the diaphragm in the wheel valves. Miraculously the CTIS aired up the front tires and...

    One more thing, should I unplug the 12v heater on this wabco dryer? I don’t want to screw up anything else.

    M1078 fmtv ctis

    Thanks GeneralDisorder! Is the shrader valve at the fill point on the wheel (not the one on the wheel valve itself) a standard shrader valve? Does it have a valve core in it? I thought about doing as you suggest but I thought I read somewhere that there is no core in it and that it an odd size...

    LMTV FMTV replacement or upgrade air dryers

    Yeah I think once I get it home I will replace it with the Haldex DA34100 PURest, but it’s a 12 volt heater also. How do I over come this? The first post in this thread Suprman suggests (if I’m understanding him correctly) that I can pull the 24v heater off the old dryer and swap it onto the new...

    Brand new to the forum. I’ve been searching the forum for days and haven’t found my exact problem discussed so I figured this is as good as any of the other posts to ask for help. I have a 2005 SS M1088A1 rebuilt by ACELA in 2019. It’s been sitting near the coast for 5 years. Like an idiot I...

    LMTV FMTV replacement or upgrade air dryers

    I bet he did just splice it into the 24V. I found the old 24v plug with the wires cut and still plugged into the old air dryer. Should I unplug the new one and run it without a heater for now?

    LMTV FMTV replacement or upgrade air dryers

    Hey everyone! Brand new to the forum. I think I may become a regular. There are so much knowledge on here I hope to learn from. This is a pretty old thread but I figured this is as good as any to get some help. I just picked up a 2005 SS M1088A1 rebuilt by ACELA in 2019. I bought it in North...
