Well sounds like I need to just pick my feet up alittle bit higher and leave it alone.

One thing about getting in and out of truck a lot is that darn metal at bottom of door frame always seems to get in the way of my feet when stepping in. Has anyone cut that metal out so that its flush with the floorboard. Just wanted to throw it out there for some feedback. Anybody think it...

I'll check it out, but it's the back brakes that are locking up. Of course since I've posted this haven't had any trouble since.

Thanks to everyone for the replies. Working on the road and not being able to run out and check things you guys suggest until the weekend stinks but I guess that problem is for another post. Reading through the manuals you all suggested I had a random thought and wasn't sure so I thought I...

Correct you are, suggestions as to the steps one might take to determine the problem would greatly be appreciated. Remember air brakes are not my strong point but I'm learning so explain in details, thanks a lot.

Coffey1 did squirt some air tool oil in the air lines thinking it would push into the valve. I'll try this weekend taking the valve off completely and putting air tool oil directly in the valve, see it that helps. Thought about just replacing the valve at the parking brake if the oil doesn't...

Trailboss checked this weekend and no valve behind glad hand, forgot to check bobble headvent will check again this weekend. Drove the truck around some this week. No issues when using foot brake and even engaged the parking brake several times couldn't get it to duplicate the problem again...

No I haven't been but I'll doublecheck just to make sure the switch is not stuck

Thanks a lot on the road working this week I'll check it out Saturday when I'm home.

Where would the breather your referring to be located make sure I'm checking the correct thing

I have a 923A2, problem is the brakes are not releasing sometimes. I'll try and explain as much as I can about what and when it does it and hopefully someone can point me to a link, manual page, or give me some guidance to troubleshoot. First time it happened was this winter when I went and...

So after hours of reading, asking questions and help from other members I got the hotshift PTO installed on the truck. A big thanks to those that have helped. What I have learned I will pass on maybe it will help someone in the future. Let me throw out a disclaimer since I didn't install the...

That is leaning towards my theory of the a2 pto difference. I believe either of the 2 pto's in the fig above will work. If you look at Chelsea part list for 221x is like all military stores sell and fig 530 above. The 221r is for special housing which matches fig 529, like the pto Gunzy said...

So according to the manual TM 9-2320-272-24P-2 fig 529 (sorry don't know how to post link to take you directly to the page) shows transmission PTO specifically for an A2. Same manual next fig 530 shows transmission PTO, assume for all other 900 series. The NSN numbers are different under the...

Has anybody installed the Chelsea PTO that gimpyrobb has pictured. I know that this is the correct one but I ask because I was told you would have to make the existing notch in the frame even larger. I know to slide the transmission etc to get it installed but you need to notch more of the...
