That picture gave me anxiety from what the hell could have caused that. The HUNDREDS of hours I spent loving with and repairing CTIS systems and changing the filters retroactively makes me feel better, somehow.

Twitter thread is betting on dry rot. Truck sits for an eternity, rubber rots from not moving. Then it's pressed into service and chews the tires to pieces as they leak all your air. CTIS is such a pain in the rear end, but it's worth having.

To be fair to Russia, they have no historical basis for understanding how adverse weather could affect an invading army.

On top of fuel and food and terrain, it's entirely possible that many vehicles in the convoy just... broke.

Somebody at Irkut (or whatever the successor to Ilyushin is called), Tupolev, and/or Sukhoi is hoping they're about to get PAID once Russia has to go back to buying their own airplanes because no one else will sell them theirs.

In hindsight I probably should have realized that military trucks had some way to keep their tires inflated.Wikipedia posted:CTIS was first used in production on the American DUKW amphibious truck, which was introduced in 1942. Neat!

Random question: does CTIS also function as onboard air? Like, is there a 1/4" Quick coupler or 3/4" chicago fitting so you can hook up air tools and effect repairs easier?

Cythereal posted:Most plausible explanation I've heard is that they're shooting at ships they think are bringing aid supplies to Ukraine without checking their nationality first. These ships are sailing around with transponders that send out their nationality (it’s the first three digits of the MMSI) ever 20 seconds or so. The Russians don’t care, they’re just shooting. And the flag states don’t care because for the most part none of their citizens are onboard and the owners aren’t based in the country.

Terrifying Effigies posted:In hindsight I probably should have realized that military trucks had some way to keep their tires inflated. The humvee solution was stuffing a rubber donut inside the tire before mounting it to the wheel. It was more work than you'd think. But humvees didn't typically come with an air system because hydraulic brakes generally could handle it. CRUSTY MINGE fucked around with this message at 03:25 on Mar 3, 2022 |

Naked Bear posted:Probably not and I don't think any of our trucks have something like this. You'd want bare minimum 80 psi to do anything with air tools and CTIS systems on most trucks don't generate that kind of pressure. More importantly, they aren't intended to be run at a high duty cycle like that except in an emergency (that is, they should only need to periodically pump more air in, not be constantly pumping air). I figured that was the case, thanks! I was just curious since my experience in operating heavy equipment with beefy air compressors (250-500psi) was that adding a qc line for air tools was a godsend when working on the pieces of poo poo.

Arrath posted:Random question: does CTIS also function as onboard air? Like, is there a 1/4" Quick coupler or 3/4" chicago fitting so you can hook up air tools and effect repairs easier? You can make a gladhand connector to run off truck air that you'd attach to your trailer air connections. If a truck has CTIS, it has an engine driven air compressor, usually geared behind the timing cover so it doesn't stop compressing air if a belt snaps. Air is pretty important on anything heavy. Anything heavy and diesel will have a compressor built in except gensets. CTIS pulls from the same air supply as the brakes, it's just routed to a different tank. You'd want to run off the air brakes line for any air tools to be effective, and it won't be for long.
