I did take the plug out to see if it would help and it did not. I have the rear service valve cracked open right now so I can move the truck. As soon as I close it and push on the brakes - LOCK. Crack the rear valve again, the wheels unlock.
I also took out the rear plug of the air pack and...
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...
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...
On my 916 the interaxle differential works, but the front axle doesn't pull. On the transfer case - there is a slight amout of air constantly coming out of the breather fitting. The light comes on an off inside the cab and all sounds normal, but front axle does not pull. Any ideas? Is the...

Thanks.
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...
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...
My M817 front axle does not dependibly pull. It just started a couple of weeks ago. When it does pull, it pulls well. No odd noises, etc.
Any advice on what it could be? Is there any specific maintenance item I need to look at?
I have to put it in first and then reverse and then first...
