Set the body on it today. Gotta put larger sleepers on to run hydraulics on top of the crossmembers. Then I can set it down and bolt it on.

Gladhands can separate, and the lines can blow. This will cause the trailer brakes to lock, and will cause loss of braking and control for the truck. Not a safe situation for anybody. My rims are not stamped, either.

It says tpv or similar device. Same thing. Different name. It's any automatic device that kills the air to the gladhands, if there's a loss of air to the trailer. Try again.

The " used in commerce clause is a gray area when the cop states the law where any vehicle over 26,001 lbs. is a commercial vehicle. I humbly stand corrected on the personal use for recreation clause. I was fully aware of the farmer exemption, and the not highway speed exemption, but not the...

Simple. With a charged trailer, release the trailer brakes using the brake release on the trailer. Hook Service line from trailer to Emergency line on truck. Then pull. If wheels on trailer don't turn then brakes are working. First, there is no take release on a trailer. Second, once you...

Part 383 - Regulations Section | Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration https://www.fmcsa.dot.gov › ... › Parts The CDL regulations provide that "no person shall operate" a Commercial Motor Vehicle (CMV)s before passing the written and driving tests required for that vehicle...

My Dr. For CDL has to follow federal laws. My state, has to follow federal dot rules. My dot tells me it's all federal regulation. My a2 rims are not stamped not for highway use. Please tell me how to do a pull test to check your trailer brakes with these. Trolly valves, tpv's have all been in...

923&925A2's. Yes, the gladhands have shutoff valves. The issue is you have no way to check nor activate your trailer brakes by themselves, and if a gladhands comes detached, you will lose all braking ability of both the truck and trailer. Any time your going to use a MV for any type of...

Just for starters: they have no trolley valve, parking brake valve, nor tractor protection valve. If you are pulling a 10 ton trailer for example, you have to have all of these valves, plus a double check valve in the system, just to be legal.

It means the same **** thing. Eaton fittings. Good name, but probably still made abroad. This is not about the terms, approved or certified. This is about somebody wanting to upgrade their truck. If he ever puts a trailer behind it, or just drives it, he must use the correct fittings and lines...

I guess this doesn't exist, then.

I'm upgrading this truck to use it commercially. I have to install back up lights/ beeper, and there is a secondary brake light switch on the rear double check valve. Where is there a location to get power for these switches?

I could only imagine what they cost. Retail for a simple standard manual PTO for an Allison, is about 2,400.00.

The best I can do.

The plate with the notch, is the one I used. The notch isn't necessary. It just clears the ear on the tranny. The distance from the mounting bolts to the pivot pin is 2" c to c. The pivot is 1/2. The cylinder mount is 1.250 x 1.250 x .125 angle. The cylinder is .750 x 2.5 stroke, spring extend...

Here are the pics of the actuator mounted. The heat shield has yet to be installed.

Weather or not you people agree with me, doesn't matter. Any part of any vehicles safety systems, have to be dot approved. Look at any taillight lense, or headlight lense. They ALL have dot stamped on them. Get caught in a dot check, and they find non dot parts, your getting red tagged, and...

There most certainly is. You can't use compression fittings from a plumbing store. They are not dot approved. The same with air line. You can't use 3/8 polypropylene line. You need nylon reinforced dot approved airline. You stand corrected.

Here is the new cylinder mount, along with the old one. This will miss the ear that sticks out of the side of the transmission. The new one is gloss black.
