Ive done the battery relocation and added my 24v tender/charger. Its a nice mod and also able to add 3 spring seats with new van seats in the cab.
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
It's turning red due to the heat on the pipe. Gotta go with a high temp paint on the pipesTry the Behr again but tell them to half the red pigment when they mix it

Nobody really much likes the CTIS do they?Greased the 5 ton only pics are from power steering unit to m trying to diagnose those pics will be posted in that thread if they ever load up. Also worked on pulling the CTIS out cause it refused to work correctly . My next 5 ton will be a 10 wheeler M925A1 I want the NHC250 and no CTIS ! Thankfully none of the tires have ever gone flat . Parts will be order to delete the hoses to the hubs soon .
Those are some beautiful working tractors.Carried the ROTC during the parade for the Heritage Farm Festival. It sat on display the rest of the day. Sadly it was a unmanned display as we had other demonstrations to manage.
Count me as a CTIS liker. Only one truck, and it doesn't go off roading much, and I have no real need for a push button air inflation system, but I still like it, for me, it's kinda what makes the 939A2's cool. It's not as complex as most would think, but I could see the frustration if you come out to flat tires. Like any system it just takes time and knowledge, and maybe some patience, CTIS just has a lot more pieces. Not bashing anybody who removes it, usually they have a good reason.Nobody really much likes the CTIS do they?
Is there any one model of rig with CTIS where they're worth keeping?
Looks nice now that it has a cab hard topExpanded the expando van. This was much easier than most people have stated. Now to redo some of the wood/insulation on the side panels.
Id be interested in CTIS parts if your getting rid of the system.Greased the 5 ton only pics are from power steering unit to m trying to diagnose those pics will be posted in that thread if they ever load up.

Yea same here when i did mine those long instructions and what not. I was like uh yeah lets just start pushing and pulling stuff. I am going to try to expand it on the trailer this weekendExpanded the expando van. This was much easier than most people have stated. Now to redo some of the wood/insulation on the side panels.
I sell brand new 130A 24V alternators, just sayin'. I replaced my thermostat and heater core and now mine blows hot and relatively quickly from a cold start with no block heater usage. Your heater core could be plugged with minerals. Mine was. It flowed fine, but was not transferring the heat out. You could also swap it out for a fuel fired one. Those are hot at the flip of a switch. Saw new ones in our classifieds for $200 complete, that is a steal.
