    Airpack Help M814

    When installing a new airpack, do you bleed the system with air pressure in the tanks or not? Does it make a difference? Also, do you need to air air tool oil to a new one? I installed a new one and my brakes locked up. I know I bled the system completely. Cost a fortune in DOT5. This is...

    M817 New Air Pack Installed Brakes Lock Up

    Installed a new air pack. Bled the brakes (engine off, no air pressure in tanks). Drove truck, brakes lock up almost right away. Released air pressure from the service line (lots of built up pressure) so I could move the truck. I have missed something. Do I need to bleed the top bleed screw...

    M817 Front axle no longer pulls - all of a sudden

    Ron (73m819) - thanks. I also was told today that brake fluid works - same deal - run it for a mile without a load to clean it. Odd to me that it has happened all of a sudden. I work off road in sand and can normally pull my bull dozer anywhere with multiple tries - but the front axle MUST...

    M817 Front axle no longer pulls - all of a sudden

    I will try the air tool oil. But, it would be great if I could engage it or not when needed. When the truck is loaded with sand or dirt, it is not a problem - it pulls great. It is when I am either empty or hauling my bull dozer or excavator behind on my tag trailer when it is the biggest...
