Oh man! Thank you for those handles. Let me know how much I need to send you.
I did charge ahead..but not as fast as I would like. Work has kept me busy and then the flu has been passed around the family a couple of times over the last month. The weather over Thanksgiving was rainy and cold so...
Yep. On the frame behind this wheel. Probably a bit further forward than the axle.
Take a wire wheel to the frame and you'll find it. If it is an M135, it should say something similar to M135/1234. The numbers after the M135, M211, etc. will be your VIN.
That is my understanding as well. The master cylinder I am replacing on my truck had a check valve in it. One off of a parts truck did not have one.
The airpak does have a check valve and it was the seal in front of that, that was bad on mine. Not sure if it is because of doubled up check...
Was the NAPA part number the same? I can't get anything to come up on their website with that number.
Good find! I will add it to the part spreadsheet this evening.
Let me know the locating ring part numbers when you get them. That would be good to add to the list.
Is the FS-926 number for the oval clamps? Can you post a link where you found them? Another good thing to add to the spreadsheet!!
Don't forget to keep me updated on if this is a good number, good part and any new part numbers you discover, so I can keep our parts spreadsheet updated.
I have not seen those original small taillights function. Do they stay lit up when your lights are on or just come on when brakes are applied? How visible are they at night?
I have the clear front blackout lights on my M135, but I put amber colored bulbs in them. They are my turn signals. I've not had any issues with it like that.
The truck has civilian brake lights on at the moment and I am trying to figure out what to use like you are. The options I have are use...
The internals are identical except for the valve on the back side of the air canister and the inside of the power piston. The G749 airpak does not have the valve on the back of the canister and the power piston from the 5 ton will thread right into where the G749 airpak one goes.
The piston you have that goes in the canister looks exactly like what is in the M54/M809 airpak. I only know this because I pulled one apart to compare to the G749 airpak and to get the power piston. I wonder if you have the 5 ton power piston in there too? If so, you would be all set up to use...
