I would only use a pinion brske as a hydraulic parking brake ONLY. An emergency stop with a pinion brake would melt that thing long before you came to a stop. Maybe if you mounted one on every pinion flange you may could acheive back up braking but that would be more expensive than splitting...
Uh...the deuce doesn't have air brakes. Just plain old hydraulic brakes. The air pack just replaces a vacuum booster or hydrobooster.
The theory on how to split the system is pretty easy. Just install a dual chamber MC and second air pack. The question is which MC to use?
Why would you want a full time locker in the rear? Do you only coast around turns? Your front axle spends most of its life disengaged. Add lockout hubs and you won't have any problems. The front will just free wheel as normal on pavement. When offroad dirt adds a little bit of a slip...
I would rate yukon equalish with the detroit locker. Heck they are basically carbon copies of each other. At least in the 2.5 ton rockwell stuff. Though, I will admit I would personally spend a bit more on detroit.
I am curious as to which axle you plan on putting this in. I would only use...
You can get enough fuel to idle but as you increase the rpm the fuel demand also increases. The filters can clog where only a reduced amount of fuel will pass through.
Now thats not the only reasons your engine may not rev up. But, its the first thing I would check/service.
Just cause the pump makes noise doesn't mean it's working. The the bottom half of the in tank pump is known to fall off in the tank. So the motor would run but no fuel will be pumped.
Hotroddeuce put 53's on a 6x6 deuce. It turned into an epic project. It's not even strait forward putting 53's on a bobber. If you have the money and resources it absolutely can be done. However, once its done my honest opinion is you won't be nearly as happy as you think you will be. As...
Looks good. Reminds me I need to get my hmmwv seats installed in my deuce.
It can be tough finding seats that fit in the tiny deuce cab. Outstanding job.
The shaft just fits into a divet in the MC plunger. The rubber boot will sometimes hold it in but its supposed to come out. It will make sense when you pull the boot off the MC to rebuild it.
The deuce air supply would struggle with a 1" impact. I think the system is only capable of approximately 7 cfm. The air tanks are also pretty small. Only a few gallons each. You may could run a 3/4" impact in very short bursts with lots of waiting for the system to recharge.
