Christmas in March?

[kendelrio]

Since picking up my 5 ton, I've been scouring the net for odds and ends to get everything "right"... from dash light lens covers to other smaller items that just "nitpick" my brain... my girlfriend says between the boxes and envelopes, it's starting to look like Christmas at the house!

When I get in from offshore, I'll be installing those, troubleshooting the CTIS, troubleshooting my fuel gauge sending unit and starting rust remediation in prep for painting.

Speaking of the CTIS; I know there are deletion kits I can get for around $80 a wheel....

My logic is this: if the parts needed to fix it are around $480, +/-, then why not fix it instead of deleting it and have a complete truck?

So... question: is it usually the module that fails? I'm looking for a starting point to troubleshoot. I'm gonna go through the TMs and hook everything back up to see exactly what isn't working, but I want to start ball parking where my $$ will be spent.

I'm not a "replace til it's fixed" kind of person. I try to troubleshoot to the exact fault, figure out why it failed and if possible prevent the same failure.

Much appreciation in advance.

Lets hold this thought. CTIS. I have, someplace, a "CTIS Test Equipment" in my junky garage. I am not a truck guy. Do not know what the heck it is. Another contractor gave it to me, when he quit contracting. Told me to pass it on. I will look for the darn thing in the next day or two. we here are just getting over a short flu "event" and I am still shaky. But when I find it, I will try and post:
1. What its called.
2. Part number and or NSN.
3. Picture.

And so on. If you want it, and will pay the postage from Germany, I will be happy to send it to you.

Guyfang,

I know that I am second in line, but if the other guy doesn't want it - I would gladly pay postage to get it here to the states!

If you have some sort of testing device for CTIS information, maybe the answers to 1, 2, and 3 will give some other choices...

I have worked out a few bugs in mine. Some days it works perfectly. Other days I say bad words while it blinks its lights at me.

Gents,
I have no idea what this thing will do. My buddy said it works, pass it along. I am not a truck guy. All I ask is postage.

I have no idea what it does - but anything other than "black magic" - which is about what we have at the moment would be FANTASTIC!

Pm sent. I will gladly pay postage and if someone in the states needs it after me, will gladly pass it along to them!

(That's how this works, right?)
