ok, I drove back out to the shop and checked some GO/ NOGO situations. and here she goes... at wet tank: Primary closed Secondary open will build air in secondary tank and hold pressure pretty well with parking brake both on and released. Also holds if I engage spring...

Yeah, I'm familiar with caging them, and know (in theory) that the spring won't come out. But with the "treating it like a gun" analogy....that's what I'm respectful of. LOL I might not have the prettiest face, but I'd like to keep it where it is.

I didn't change the spring side diaphrams, just the service side. I know what those springs can do....and I got skeered..LOL.

Thanks Simp, Secondary does hold air with the parking brake on, the primary leaks out of the check valve on the intermediate axle (the one I was told to replace). I haven't checked whether or not it holds with the parking brake released, but will try that for sure. As far as the compressor...

Yeah, I hear ya. I worked a 19 hour shift through that last night. Driving one of our m923s for 10 straight hours. Dragging trees out of the roads...good times.

Hey MotoTech, I know that this is an old thread, but I'm looking for a power cable just as you described...would you be willing to share where you sourced it from?

I appreciate that! They did quite well during Hurricane Dorian. We hauled some people, and dragged a bunch of trees out of the roads..

Thanks! They've been a ton of work, but definitely worth it now.

This is what we ended up with, FINALLY!!! Just in time for Hurricane Dorian. I think they both came out looking great. Let me know what you think.

Thanks...I appreciate that. The inventory lists in the lid are missing...go figure, lol.
