On the 818 there is a control lever on the right side of the steering column. Couldnt find any description in the tm. Seems like a trailer brake actuator?

Not to bash, but if you're properly licensed to operate something with this GVWR, in a trailered sense, the license exam would have covered this...

Please read over the TM's for safety sake.

In Florida, you only need a class E license to drive a M818,M246,and..... because a air over hydraulic. GVWR is not a consideration also it is registered a military-collectors. Those vehicle rules are not the same as a general tractor.

You might want to go read up on the TM's as well. It certainly isn't a transbreak or jakebrake. Just because you're not required to be tested or knowledge on something, doesn't mean you should be oblivious to the safe operation of it.

page 2-26 of the 9-2320-260-10 TM shows the "airbrake control kit".

If your 5th wheel is removed, you might want to ask Mark (Hundy) if he removed the air lines for this, if he is the one that did the work.

I was searching thru the vehicle controls section for the different body style trucks. Mine has been converted to a cargo truck so i was just asking a simple question about a very new to me truck that i just bought yesterday. Any info is much appreciated, not trying to start a useless thread just thought id ask after probably missing it in the tm somewhere and not finding in the search engine.
