Also seems odd the front brakes had < 30 PSI. Wonder if that check valve is what’s draining the system. I kept hearing the air canister by battery box discharge air periodically.

Would this be the check valve tucked down below? The small plastic line at left feeds glad hand.

Guess I am going to add to this CTIS thread. Got my rig delivered off a truck today. It seemed like the front red glad-hand was pissing air. Parked it so I could flush and drain fluids and see what's what. Tried to plug the glad-hand but it won't.... should the vents pop off at circa 120 psi...

That’s right. We’ve also left far more dangerous gifts behind in the Middle East.

I was mistaken. Perhaps I assumed based on my reading it had a C7…. Trying to get up to speed on everything. I spoke to the old owner and he said 3126 Cat. It will be here today and I’ll confirm but sure I had my facts mixed up.

Well I have XP, just need to know the right person I guess.

I was told mine has the C7. What way do I verify?

Oh wow. Thanks for that knowledge. What is LBCD? Wait, I didn't buy a queer truck did I ?!!! LOL

Oh, I guess declassified isn't happening anytime soon for A1(R)'s.

Any word on when they might declassify A1-A1R TM's?

Found a 24P here: https://midwestmilitaryequipment.com/content/rpastllmtv.pdf There should be a TM folder for A1. I did find an A1 wiring diagram on SS.

The TM's I downloaded here did not have that Change 1 and 2 through 20 August 2005. I will try to search online for one. Did you get the TM-20 booklet too?

So what was the question regarding the small box behind the battery box for? Does that distinguish which version of A1 I have?

That fluid might be good enough for the military fleets when they regularly auction 20 year old trucks with less than 10,000 miles, the military probably didn't make the decision to use one fluid based on what's best for the transmission and extending it's life. What is the reason(s) guy's...

Yes sir it does.

Is there distinction Technical Manual's specific to A1 as opposed to A0 or A1R? Got an A1 and wanted to read up on the correct version. Thanks.

Nice rig. I am getting an 05 tomorrow. What kind of trans fluid is in yours? 15w40 oil or red ATF?

I am in for 1078A1 set.

How often do we need to inspect/service the driveshafts? I mean how do they get out of spec anyway? Is this from field abuse, or factory QA/QC when built? Or is this normal wear and tear and needs be checked regularly?

In regards to driveshafts being balanced. This seems to be a huge issue especially Hawaiian loaded trucks. I had watched a video on a vehicle that had axles propping tires up off the ground, as the engine was exercised and trans engaged it brought the wheels up to spinning at an equivalent top...
