Great video as always, nicely done. So I did a search and can't find that tool, where did you get it ? I know you said Trail Tech but it did not come up for me.
As you can see in the video it's not necessary but here is a link to it. www.ebay.com/itm/385193110873?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=rlmoozfjsui&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=xj1PHBiHSBe&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
Great video, Neil! Thanks for putting it together. Can you share where you got the tool to install and compress the seals? You know, the tool you hit with the dead blow hammer.
I have a stupid question. How do you keep the caliper straight to get an accurate measurement? I have the TT tool too. I found the guide holes in it hard to use.
Do you have a link to the PDF for the TM that covers this? Just had gear oil puke from my driver front CTIS fitting so assume I have lost a seal and am about to attempt this same procedure. Huge thumbs up on the video!
@@NEILSWORLD and the axle nut "socket"... I saw the word "Rockwell" stamped on it during your excellent video... on a side note this is what I'm dealing with.. ua-cam.com/users/shortsENCXhZbi4Z4?feature=share HWY light continued to flash,tires only inflated to 35psi... All 4 CTIS lights then began to flash when I pressed "Sand Mode" ... truck was running..thoughts?
@@NEILSWORLD yes sir I shall... as for your seal drivers...do you recall the 2 size s you used..?..again thanks much (I'm preparing for a relatively inexpensive but time consuming adventure )
I am loosing air in the front tires is this due to these seals. Rear tires stay inflated. Ctis controller blinks I'm sure it's because of low tire pressure in the front tires
@@NEILSWORLD I was wondering the same thing. A quick search for seal drivers showed a few with a hefty price tag. I will need to find those specs in the TM & have some made up. Did you use steel or aluminum?
I drooled on myself as my jaw was open the entire video....so many pieces...thanks for sorting this out and sharing it with the FMTV community...
Lol, I see bib merch in my future. 🤣
Thanks for putting out another great "How To" video. This clarifies some steps I read in the TM.
Your welcome
A very useful video !!! Thank you very much for taking the time to do this for all of us ! Definitely putting this into the save files !
You're welcome 👍
Thank you for sharing, makes all so much clearer now. Now I need to get the tool made and I can try it myself.
Glad it was helpful!
Great to see how the ctis seals work for sealing on the spindle and route to the wheel stud- 1:01
I'm glad you can see that I wish I would have explained it.
Neil where do you live I’m coming over just to help and learn ! Thank for making the video
Awesome, I could use a cameraman.

Great video, Neil! Thanks for putting it together. Can you share where you got the tool to install and compress the seals? You know, the tool you hit with the dead blow hammer.
I printed the page with the tool specs out of the TM and brought it to a machine shop to have the tools made.
Neil great video do you own a shop? I was thinking about getting a 6 x 6 and I live in New Hampshire. How can I contact you?
I have a stupid question. How do you keep the caliper straight to get an accurate measurement? I have the TT tool too. I found the guide holes in it hard to use.
You could wiggle it around a little to get the shortest measurement which would be straight.

I have a bunch of the ctis seals I'll let go cheap.
Neil great video. Could you tell me what size the axle nut is? Possibly 3-7/8". I can't find one so I need to make an axle nut socket.
Are you referring to the wheel bearing adjustment nut?

@@NEILSWORLD fantastic thank you!
Where did you purchase the CTIS seals, bearing drivers and axle nut “socket”… thanks much
I bought the ctis seals on eBay and I had the driver made from the specs in the manuals.

It's really hard to tell where that air is leaking out from your video. Try to pinpoint where the air is coming from and go from there.

I'm not familiar with the ctis system. Mine has always worked. Join lmtv mtv military trucks on Facebook and ask the question there.
Nice seal driver, did you get it?
Took the page from the technical manuals with the dimensions of the seal driver to a machine shop and had it made.
@@NEILSWORLD I was wondering the same thing. A quick search for seal drivers showed a few with a hefty price tag. I will need to find those specs in the TM & have some made up. Did you use steel or aluminum?
Steel
Where can i find the steel driver for the seals??
I had mine made at a machine shop with the dimensions from the manual but I have seen them on eBay for sale as well.

If you don't have the seals yet I have extras. I'll ship you eight of them to do a complete 4x4 for $50 in the continental US.
