I've explained it in post #83. You have to have two air packs. What fleetmech mentioned and jeepsinker is using a air actuated MC from a trailer to split the brake system. My concern is that if you lose the main MC, you've lost your trailer brake MC. Because no fluid pressure into the...

Flair wrench for sure. If the lines are trash, cut them at the fitting and use a 6 point socket. I also like to take a small propane torch and heat up the fitting (not melting hot, but enough to help loosen them) female side. That causes it to expand outward and helps loosen the male side...

Did you mean to post this in the other thread? I personally would weld it together instead of bolting it. Also this entire endevour is worth it. My hardline failed between the tandems and the t-case today. Thankfully it was in my driveway and I was intentionally testing it.

Those valves still need two inputs for the two outputs.

Use the guy Clinto uses to trailer it. But maybe see if you could barter with him. See if buying a affordable winch would be exchanged for the transport or part of it.

Congrats @m715mike !

No, because you'd have to route both brake lines into a single line if you only have one airpack. The air system and tanks are just to supply air to the airpacks. Edit: Here's a diagram from the brake line side of things and how the normal system works. 21-23 is the line out of the single...

The electric pump is a backup in the event there's no pressure from the PS pump. In that video I could see the hyd. line feeding into it. And he had a waterloo PS setup, so I'm sure he had the hyd hooked up.

No. The airpack has only one inlet and one outlet for the hydraulic (brake) fluid. The Air Force dual circuits use two airpacks.

I guess I'm overthinking things again. Because I found other examples of the same routing.

Can someone give me some advice on the Hydro-max booster setup? I am leaning that way because with no hydraulic pressure the motor will kick in to assist. My wrinkle is the hyd. plumbing circuit. From what I see, the outlet of all these hydro-max boosters are for low pressure returns. I plan...

There isn't one. Due to the space allowed in the area. And the bracket design. Then you still have to deal with a second airpack.

I'm honestly thinking more to the hydroboost setup. There's been a many of deuces towbar'ed without air brakes on them. My only other truck that could "safely" do it would be the 5 ton. So it has a weight advantage. A single hydroboost on the wall and simply two lines down to tap into the...

Anyone have any NOS windshields?

On the drive home I just realized one trade off going that route. I know it's not often used, but the airpacks can have a air supply plumbed into them to make towbaring the deuce easier. (It's a add on to the line at the airpack, so it's not factory) The dual airpack route would allow for...

I'm not sure if I'll get to get away next weekend. But I'm looking for a set of 395's for my deuce. I have a pair of lockers for a 5 ton I'd like to trade for them.
