Pretty easy to make any truck manual to demonstrate. The last two of Dave Andersons roundups I went to, I brought a little switch box that has my dead controllers cannon plug and one momentary double throw toggle switch installed. I could plug into anyones CTIS harness And manually control the system. I built it with Control hardwired and the toggle switch manipulated Supply or Deflate. You turned ign on/off to activate/release the control solenoid to seal/vent the PCU… Easy to build if someone has a bad controller with connector kicking around. But be forewarned, using it at the meets, I found leakage on nearly every truck I hooked up to:)

it was more popular than a Cheerleader at a Dungeons and Dragons convention…

Hello fellow FMTV enthusiasts! I'm polling the forums for those interested in attending an FMTV workshop. The workshop would tentatively be set for this coming fall. I expect it would be 3 to 4 days long. Classes would be taught by several of the most capable and experienced members in our community. The workshop would be held in North San Diego County at my place. I have 5 acres and a 10,000 square foot workshop with 3 bays to accommodate several simultaneous classes, if necessary. Plenty of space for everyone. If there is a need to charge a fee to attend, it would be specifically to support the travel expenses of instructors who are willing to share their time and expertise. I am not hosting the workshop to make a profit. There would also be the opportunity to sell and/or exchange parts or items. It would be a great time to meet and collaborate with each other, learn a lot, acquire any parts you've been looking for, and make great memories. If interested, please participate in the poll with either "Yes" or "No" below so I can assess if there is enough interest to plan it. If you have any comments or suggestions, feel free to make one below. Thank you!
