    m989A1

    CTIS Parts

    Anyone know what this small adjustable valve is called? Rig is a 1998 M1088. Not referring to the CTIS wheel valve, but the valve on the 90* elbow that has a flathead screw adjustment/bleeder. Several of mine are leaking, and no way to seal them up. Feels like a bad o-ring/seal and I need to...
