Ditto. If you get in a hurry you will make a financial mistake. If I see one cheap, I'll send you a PM.Just keep looking, one will show up cheap.
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!

Not always. Sometimes if it's too cold the whole system goes tarded and will display flat. Either way, I think jay is right, the line to that wheel is probably disconnected from the fitting. Turn it in, listen for leak....go find leak!you might have a CTIS leak. They only give the flat warning when they cannot maintain pressure in a tire.
and I'm jealous you can read your display!
i didnt check the fluid level, pitch black, and my flashlight in the truck has grown legs and walked off. I'll have to go back tomorrow morning and figure out what I brokeNo idea. If you were losing fluid from the filter (or a blown line) all bets are off as far as what is damaged......or nothing at all. Find the leak, fix it, fill it up, and see who's it runs. Not much else you can do or diagnose until that is fixed.
Thanks for the feedback. I'll look at the air fittings on that tire & see what I find. For now, I'm just leaving the system off and the tires are staying aired up fine.Not always.

Congrats on the new truck!
I know you A3 guys hate seeing me post in your threads, but.............. The fronts were flat when we got there and the CTIS did "seem" to work as it was able to air the tires up to the pressure that you see (after we put 10 psi in them).
Ditto on switching out the front tires to the rear. I had a blow out during my A3 recovery. Fortunately, it was on the rear, but it was still bad. I would highly recommend changing out the motor oil in the Allison for Dexron III. Use the drain and fill technique and change out both internal and external filters. The A3 external transmission filters have a habit of coming loose and leaking fluid. Don't get tempted to overtighten it, just check it often.
Hope I can help. Try carquest or naps for the fitting. Look in the air brakes catalog or section, that's where I find most of mine. Air that strong coming from the tire area is probably the hub line disconnecteded, but should be easy to see with the tire off. Air pressure might be your steering. Watch your gauge while turning the tires lock to lock. If it drops rapidly, there you go. There is an air line by the tire driver front tire from near the steering knuckle. Hit it with soapy water. Mine leaked like a leaky thing. Get your meter out for the headlights. Check the wires at the headlight. It will be obvious. Could be the high beam switch too. Check the pumpkins for gear oil. Bad ctis can blow it right out. Good luck!
