BTW Like Your "Rank" "The Anti-Bobber" :lol: [thumbzup]

Hi SteelandCanvas! Yes I have taken apart the valve assembly and cleaned everything. Connected the pressure switch up my air-compressor and used voltage tester to test for continuity "with pressure" and "no pressure" but didn't get anything either way. The electrical pressure switch does...

Replacing Front Axle Air Pressure Switch Hey All, I'm having a problem with my front axle light on the dash not working. I tried my front axle engagement switch today, and the light did not come on. So I turned the engine off, and I could hear it engage when I moved the lever. But the light...

DOT Plastic tubing should work just fine. And like j.g. said, if you're worried about something rubbing, just slip some rubber gas line, or heater hose, over that specific spot and you're good to go. In my case, I'm just replacing hose that is under the dash, which are no longer than 18...

Good Point SteelandCanvas, I think I read about that in a thread you posted to somewhere on here, when I was first re-searching about the air hoses. But in my case, it was the air-hose after all. I could actually feel the air coming from around the crimped fitting. Although my air shift...

Yep, the hose is only about 18" inches long. It just goes from the front axle air shift switch up to the block on the firewall. Doesn't have to move or flex, it just sits there. Speaking of which, I just replaced it today, and ended up using barbed fittings (1/4" inch thread to 1/4" barb), a...

Yeah my Dad was telling me that he used to do this for his shop hoses when they would break. But that is a good point about the vibration they would have to sustain in a deuce. Thanks!

Thanks for the Tip! I have heard of DOT air line, I'll look into it and find out more. Thanks!

Yep, I was thinking about that option too. Might be best to go that route. Thanks!

Hi All, I've been searching for info on replacing the rubber air hose that goes to my front axle air shift switch. It started leaking the other day, and can now be heard while the truck is running. Usually drains the tanks in about 15 min after turning off the engine. Well I read here on SS...

Ok, I was at another hardware store today, picking up other things for the house. While I was there, I thought I would look through their plumbing stuff and see if maybe they carried something that would work. So I browsed over to that section, and they had a few things that seemed close. So I...

It was directly connected to the master cylinder on the car.

Yep, thats the place where I downloaded the software to make the diagram in the Photo. But they wanted a whole bunch of $$ for just a 1 piece order. They are more geared toward mass production orders, or at least orders of 20+ pieces. Thanks for the reply though!

Can't we delete our own posts anymore? Accidental double post, can seem to delete it, so I just edited it to this.

Got it! Reply sent! Thanks!

Yes Exactly my thinking! Since the Deuce is a Single Circuit brake system, any additional warning to a potential problem would be a good thing. As far as generic reservoirs that have a low level float switch, they may exist, but I didn't find one. However I didn't do a lot of searching at the...

Hi All! Wish I had the right tools to do make this simple part, or even if we had a local machine shop, but there isn't one anywhere close to me. I know there is a lot of people on here who make parts and such, so I thought I would just make post and see if someone could help me out. I...

Did the weather stripping work? I've got to replace mine too, as it is mostly falling apart.

I ended up getting a cat dealer about 50 miles away to ship the Turbo-to-exhaust manifold gasket, to me UPS. Got it the next day and had the time and good weather to get the new D-Type turbo installed. If the cat dealer didn't have it, or didn't/couldn't ship it, I was going to call White Owl...

The Local Napa wanted $242 for a New OE Delphi vacuum pump. And $125 for a Napa brand rebuilt vacuum pump. So I ended up ordering a rebuilt unit from autozone.com for $108 w/ free shipping. Plus they had some special running that if you order over $100 worth of stuff through their website and...
