Wow that is amazing. Houdini.I put the air hose on top of the tire. It inflates by magic.
My deuce and a half doesn't have CTIS. The under dash fitting is just a convenient source of compressed air. The regulator on that is just to regulate the pressure to a max of 50 psi.Wow that is amazing. Houdini.
That being said...... why the air hose on the tire and not the Quick disconnect you installed in the cab instead? Sounds illogical to put air hose on one tire inflating only it. Others have stated they can fill tires individually above the settings of the CTIS computer. Therefore it would sound like one can't "walk away" as you stated if up in the cab there is no effect created on whatever system is installed there when inflating just one tire alone. There would be no regulation of air by the regulator put in cab thus one could potentially overinflate a single tire if they "walked away"
While on the other hand putting aire thru the QD at regulator you installed in cab would then ensure to inflate all the tires to 50psi, thus the question of possibility that you may have mistyped?
Ahhh... ok...Thank you. Did not recognize that what was described is just a regulated air "out" port and not a modification to an existing CTIS system where one could send air into the system bypassing the computer formerly installed there. Makes more sense. Thank you for clarification.My deuce and a half doesn't have CTIS. The under dash fitting is just a convenient source of compressed air.

I was at What-A-Burger. In and out before anyone could bother me (not that I think they would). Oh, and a lot of LEOs on here so, even though he was a wannabe cop, maybe a little more respectful to those in Blue.Looks like mine did when parked at a casino parking lot in Washington, a security officer came out and asked me to park out back with the tractor trailer trucks.
It's funny, because just from a marketing angle they might have drawn more sales traffic from curious shoppers pulling in to check out your rig.Looks like mine did when parked at a casino parking lot in Washington, a security officer came out and asked me to park out back with the tractor trailer trucks.
Those pesky "15-Minute One-Trip-To-The-Hardware-Store" projects:Now on to reattaching the air lines. But wait, there's more. Now I discover that the caps for the compression fittings are different sizes. Take the PCU back out, start swapping the fittings, reinstall it and discover that, yes the main in/out lines now work but the 3rd one is an oddball size. Back to Home Depot, but they don't have anything in the oddball size that will work. Back to the shop and start digging through all my extra fittings looking for something that would mate up to it. I couldn't find anything but then come up with the conclusion that I could just swap out the entire compression fitting as long as the PCU side of the elbow worked. I had one in my fittings box but there was no ferrel for the fitting. BACK to Home Depot to get one.
You should come down and join in the fun! However, if this new unit doesn't do the trick the CTIS is staying unplugged. It's not that important to me as I rarely drive off road and if I do I can always air down manually. It's actually a little better that way as I normally run 70psi in my tires and you can't do that with the stock LMTV CTIS controller.At some point the manual control starts looking better and better...... but then it would not function the way it was meant to be. I hope it works out soon for you!
What's the automatic tire pressure set by the CTIS?You should come down and join in the fun! However, if this new unit doesn't do the trick the CTIS is staying unplugged.
