If anyone in and around the Northern Kentucky area is available on Sunday, February 7 and would like to be part of a birthday drive by for a 94 year old Army veteran who served in WWII, please let me know @ 269-274-5880. I will have my 5-ton and hoping to get a few more MVs to show this hero...

I’m still hanging around but can’t do much on my own as the 5ton we have is pre CTIS. Perhaps developing an arduino based module would be worth the effort? ��

Is it possible the cables were reconnected incorrectly?

Everyone is welcome to bring their MV’s to Patriots Landing in Dry Ridge after the parade.

Sorry to to hear about your trouble, what a bummer thing to have happen. You may be able to drive it somewhat but I’m thinking there’s major damage. And metal shavings worked all through it from driving it broken. The converter is probly full of metal as well. I’d say the shortest path by...

Go to page 384 of this .pdf which is section 142-1 of the first volume of five service manuals... http://www.steelsoldiers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=462275&d=1384398265

Yes the brake lights should work with the switch in the Service Drive position as well as the Stop Lights position. I'm guessing some contacts in your light switch are bad.

Driving is far more risky than most folks realize. It's almost always a 1 on the first digit. The second digit varies wildly due to the many situations that occur on the road. When the roads are icy it's a category 11 but some folks will drive in this situation regardless just to get fast...

The Darwin safety system. It's worked for centuries and continues today even with labels.

I am often surprised at how little attention is paid to things that are quite high in risk. Like the driver who was looking down at her phone and totalled my wife's new car recently (no injuries thank God). Even though that was seemingly category 3? on the proposed scale, the potential for...

How about discussing the potential safety hazards of hypothetical situations? I'm thinking category 4 or higher.

I knew somebody would eventually get some documentation on this, nice.

Great news that it started and operates, a testament to the reliability of these vehicles.

Front end looks like M809 series 5-ton to me.

Don't mean to sound like captain obvious...the following be be helpful: ether, basic tools, access to a wiring chart(should be here somewhere) & a meter, something to air up tires if needed, etc.

Gimp, you should mount those down in the suspension area before Haspin.

I have seen a few folks have the sticking unloader valve in the top of the compressor cause no air building. Same problem I had. Usually happens when warm, a sticky tar like substance that accumulates in there softens up and prevents the valve from being actuated by the spring inside.

I notice you mentioned having intermittent air building issues. Figured I'd pass along a link to a thread I started due to the same issue. I learned about the air system and some common problems... http://www.steelsoldiers.com/archive/index.php/t-141256.html p.s. Welcome to the wonderful...

Would a resistor also be needed on the end near the CTIS module? And is the resistor on the can board 120ohm? The reason I ask is I have read some boards have a 60ohm resistor to try and accomplish simulating the two 120ohm resistors and this doesn't always work properly.

I've read a 120ohm resistor is required across each end of a CAN bus wire.
