Glad my m925 doesnt have ctis, just more crap to go bad, when i drove these trucks in the Marine Corps, they always had issues with ctis, I like having the nhc 250 over the 8.3, cummins 855 is alot more common and easier to find parts. I have m925 USMC truck with iso bed, just like ones i drove int he Marine Corps, i promised myself i would buy one when i got out and i did, but i also bought a m109a2 shop truck, because i wanted a deuce since i was a kid. Enjoy watching you guys keep these vehicles alive.
I've often heard the stories of how the CTIS is junk but honestly mine has been totally fine and my buddy has it too and his has been fine as well. I had a solenoid that was sticking which was about a 10 minute job to fix and now I am replacing hoses that are 12+ years old, so I can't complain. Other than that if I leave it sit for a long period of time the pressures between the axles will get way out of equalization and the controller starts flashing the five lights, you hit the HWY and EMER buttons at the same time and the system starts working again till the pressures equalize and then it switches back to normal all on its own. THANKS for the comments, wish more people would engage and thanks for watching.
Absolutely brilliant sounding truck man can you please see if you can do more driving videos of this thing and if you can make them three or four hours long and do it ASMR style and take it on the freeway and the city cause this truck sounds great stay safe man. I hope all is well with you. Have a blessed one.
Thanks for commenting. Stay tuned, we have some things planned for the future if we can get it all put together. I think a lot of people are really going to like it.
I have owned the truck for 10+ years. The truck has pulled or hauled everything I have ever asked it to. Other than the CTIS system, it's been trouble free. Just keep it maintained. I have driven it in over 6' deep water, muddy fields, and deep drifting snow, so it's gone everywhere I have asked. Now pros and cons, that would really be each individual specific. Example, every part on this thing is big and heavy, I have the means and facilities to deal with it, or storage, it's a big truck, again, I have the space, the next guy may not. In the video I did discuss the three biggest things I see most often, starting procedure, fuel shut off and brake override, the only thing I probably should have discussed was DON'T put it in reverse if you have it in low range, you will destroy the T-case. What people don't realize is this truck was in development since the 1950's starting with the REO's and progressively improved over the years through the late 90's early 2000's, so by the time the 900 series came out they were pretty rugged and dependable.
Also thanks for your comments, keep watching, we are in the early stages of what we want to accomplish with these videos. We have ideas where we want to go, but first we have to get some of the other stuff out of the way, like making them run.

@@armedforcesmuseumgreenvill810 you’re very welcome, sir. I absolutely look forward to it.
Would be cool to hear some pro and cons if you have owned it for awhile and some thing to look for or certain things some people may not know
