If you're going to custom mod a dual master cylinder setup, why stop there? Heck, make it a 3 master cylinder setup. Run extra hard lines to the rear-rear if needed. That way you don't have to worry about proportioning valves at all. And you would have triple redundant brakes.:razz: Just...

Ah, because they are full floating axles. I get it now. Just the little center cap dust cover thingy needs to be replaced with a splined axle long enough to have the lockouts engage. Thx. The ODIRON place has axles the proper length? The axle shafts don't have a C clip in the differential...

So, you're saying all that is needed is this: https://store.oemaxle.com/product_info.php?products_id=86 and this: https://store.oemaxle.com/product_info.php?products_id=28 That's it? Nothing else? How do you know the double ended axle shaft is the correct length?

Do you have any pics/pages explaining this conversion? How do you convert one of the rear axles to have lockouts? Are there any pre-made, bolt on kits available for this?

How often? What are the consequences if it is not done? Is it a pull pin?

Thanks for all the replies. I just downloaded the Technical Manual (both versions) and will print them out later (I just prefer paper to a computer screen). I was unaware of a brake-failure problem. Are these trucks prone to losing the brakes? I thought they had some kind of redundant air...

I agree with you 100%. The only reason I'm going to fly in and drive is because the Ebay seller didn't provide shipping. It's difficult if not impossible to find any decent trucks anywhere west of the Mississippi. All the ones in Idaho, CA, Oregon seem to be over-priced rust buckets. All the...

Fantastic info. Thx

Greetings, This is my first post & I am very much a newbie. I might buy an A2 this week & drive it home. From what I've read here you have to let the truck warm up 5 mins for the turbo. Plus you have to let it idle 5 mins before turning off, also for the turbo. What do you do when it's time...
