Another guy @Gunny 0369 with a Sherpa has a warning about how you want to bolt it to the truck...
.
ABSOLUTELY!
You wanna die?
Just stick your face in front of that can - remove the band - without caging the spring brake chamber - and it is over!
Good video @chucky !

The spring brake chamber.
The side of a double chamber, the side with the hole where you can insert the bolt to lock out (compress) the spring before you replace that pancake.

I agree that if you have the factory 4-Battery configuration, the right front is 12v on my truck. That is always the "suspect" battery too if I let it sit too long and doesn't want to turn over. Charger on that battery alone solves my problem.
One thought is that if you are running a high...

Wow. This one bothers me... I clicked the Thumbs Up, and read two or three more articles and I keep coming back to this one.
You definitely need to be making your power draw for 12 volts off the correct battery.
I mean either way you wire it twelve is twelve - BUT letting the smoke out...

Recently saw somewhere that had them offered as magnetics.
That way, you can have all the safety and attract as much attention as you need.
As a piece of magnetic material, if you need to sneak around in the woods they can easily be removed.

That will just be a learning experience if it is. No big deal.
Turn it over and try again. Glad to hear that you have house air hooked up. Makes troubleshooting so much easier.

You just put the kit in the valve - right?
Any chance to shoot it with some soapy water to look for bubbles?
Maybe you fixed one and something else close to it is also leaking.
Any chance you could connect the truck to "house air" Maybe CHOCK THE WHEELS so nothing goes wrong - and...
Unless your is badly bent, the one on my truck and the spare both have a bend in them. Are they bad? You got me thinking now!
These NOS I found for sell here also has a bend in it

Thanks Rich! I have to agree with you. There is real magic to this site. Lots of good information shared freely...
I will be interested to know how your replacement goes - and hoping for the best.

Other than "what you had was working just fine".
Remember, the military could (can) buy anything.
They have no shortage of money or fluids.
Just something to consider. I have read stories on this board saying their shift points improved. I have heard the exact same story the other way...
