Hey Coug,
I realize this is a really old posting, but I just found it today as I was (again) searching for anyone who had done an in-truck electric brake controller to air system.
What was your final solution?
For what it's worth, and I've forgotten to post it, I did an electric to hydraulic conversion on an M720 shelter dolly around 2020 when I picked up another TSC-60 system already mounted on a dolly. In my case, I purchased a Transtar electric to hydrualic system and the 7-way connector. I mounted the hydraulic box on the front half of the dolly. I had to do some creative replacement and management of the hydraulic lines to the wheels but in the end it all worked out great is is totally reverisble. One caveat though; I only did this to the front half, I did not do anything with the back half.
This setup gave me sufficient braking with a 1994 Ford F250 7.3L Powerstroke. Once I had the controller adjusted properly I could "feel" the tow braking just before the truck.
I would like to keep the original air-over-hydraulic system but don't have a good read on how to set that up in the truck to accomplish it. I think the last time I researched this it was about how to properly regulate the right amount of air using the electric brake controller. I was on a crunch to get this equipment moved so I went the cheapeast and easiest route.
I'm interested to know what you did.
Thank you,
Asa Jay
