    My first truck

    I assumed the low mounted heater air intake and the flapper on the stack that it was an AF truck. the numbers will tell, so would pictures of the dash!

    My first truck

    Check your brakes, the a2c model should have dual airpacks. All good that it runs, make sure it stops first.

    M109A4 brakes locked up!

    I had the same issue with my former Air Force m35a2c, the brakes locked, leaving truck parked in the yard. The airpacks got rebuilt. no joy. After 6 weekends of brake work, bit the bullett. purchased 2 new air packs, installed them. Bled the system with fresh dot 5. all is fixed.

    new deuce purchase brakes

    Have the deuce shipped. Buy new airpack, it is cheap insurance. i know as my deuce is former Air Force and has dual packs. both packs failed a month after purchase (in my yard). The failed packs pumped the break fluid out of the air relief vent. Working brakes are a real piece of mind.

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    replaced 2 airpacks and got the deuce stopping the way the Air Force intended. What a PitA it was, 2 rebuild kits on 2 packs and still no brakes. new packs and it was a miracle.. Brakes!!!! After 150 mile shakedown ride, the breaks are working normally.

    Brakes locked - Dual airpack

    We figure this is the way the truck came out of GL. we drain the airtanks after every use and have only put a few hours on the truck.
