Air should release from the blue gladhand when you let off the brakes. Not much. A quick puff. If air cannot escape then you could have an issue where your brakes won't release. Maybe something is disconnected leading to that gladhand. First place I would look is under the front bumper at that...
If you take the front gladhand covers off does any air continuously leak from either? What about when brakes are applied? I would believe unicorns replaced your speedometer long before I believe your truck only has 60 miles in 20 years.
I only measured one bolt. All of the shocks should be the same though. I have had pretty new shocks they all compress about the same. Made to dampen impacts thats about it.
If the brakes work with the treadle (foot pedal) and the spring brakes fully engage when all the air is drained out, then somehow you have air feeding back into the spring brake release system. Or air lines are switched somewhere. Did you replace the check valve behind the front grill?
LMTV shock bolts measure just shy of 16mm. Rancho RS999036 is 36 inches and compresses to 21.3 inches that should be enough travel I think. Bolt hole on the Ranchos is listed at 15.875mm. The stock ones compress to 20.94 inches by spec and open to a minimum of 33.26 inches.
I believe the tractor protection valve controls that. It prevents significant air loss if a line is disconnected in action. I don't know exactly how it behaves firsthand though I don't tow anything.
If the hole can be lined up with the Lmtv ctis hub stud, you could drill a hole basically lining up with the one in the rim. Just o ring the top and bottom and plug the center of the stuf with a short bolt.
Don't know never did it. Just measured. Couldn't find a nice newer set of 14.00s at a reasonable price. Gives you about 2-3 inches larger overall diameter so maybe another 2mph. Not much. I just liked the way the slightly larger tires looked I rolled the spare from my M923A2 up next to my M1078.
Somewhere around that pressure. You can use an ohm meter on yours see if its open with no air and closes at pressure. You can use a paperclip to jump the connector terminals and see if you ctis system comes on. my email is will atpawnking dotcom
The transfer case parts diagram shows a valve body and an electric solenoid 29507452. I can't quite tell if it goes to the tcase electrical connector but it appears so. Has to be some type of electrical control that opens a fluid valve or alike when mode is engaged.
Clutch packs. Probably a bad transfer case then. Your local allison dealer can make a definitive diagnosis. If you can get the trucks free thru the gov agency giveaway program just get another one and use one for parts.
