yes, but if you bleed the air off of a particular side’s parking brake can, it will apply the park brake spring on that side... my idea does not block any braking air, and having to apply the brake pedal while trying to apply the gas pedal can be problematic. My idea adds brake air to the can...

To use the toyota handles I think you would have to flip the latches(swap left to right), so the outside latch rod pulls down to open, unless you wanted to put the outside handles upside down. With handles so high, upside down is more ergonomic, but The handles would leak more water into the...

Cool! lots of ways to re-engineer the weak stock handles. I used a two stage single rotating latch assembly made by Trimark from a hotrod supplier and Toyota 4runner handles and rods from a junkyard(about $40 a door + my labor)...

When my original dual voltage alt craps, I will shift to a 24V alt and a 24-12 equalizer module. Far more robust system, also readily available. You can either fit a 24V alt in the same milspec frame size(used on the humvees) or you can shift to a cat bracket and one of the many 24v alts...

If memory is working, shoe to drum clearance should be .020-.040” a roller should only have to move 40 thousandths of an inch to push the shoe into contact with the drum. I think if you put a calliper across the wedge at minimum and maximum thickness you will find its difference greater than...

folks need to look at diagrams... yes, applying air to the emergency gladhand in front WILL release the park brakes. YES applying air thru the front emergency gladhand WILL CHARGE ALL THE AIR TANKS on the vehicle... applying air to the front service gladhand will(should) apply all the service...

Chatted with Rancho, none of their products are appropriate for our weight, the rep loved the LMTV though:) The only ones I have found so far in our weight class and of the appropriate size are made by Monroe. Dont have the number now, just use their spec search engine on their website With...

Erik Reistad at Omni glass and paint in Oshkosh Wi was trying to find a source of supply at one time, you might shoot him an email And see if he ever found a source. Ereistad@omnigp.com

I agree with NDT’s assessment. Unless you know you are dealing with a reputable seller and not just a flipper, you may still get a basket full of issues. And a reputable seller will of course want to get paid for all the time they have into the PM/repair. unless you are prepared to do your...

Yes. My design is modular, one module per wheel and some interconnecting wires for sense and power so you will be able to do it for any axle desired...

You must block/cap the rear gladhands unless you are connected to a towed vehicle/trailer. the front gladhands are vented and air coming out of those indicate a bad 2way check valve under the drivers floor behind grill. Top one is for park/emer brake, the lower two valves are for primary and...

Yes, except there are no parking brakes on the front. What I am thinking of will fit pretty easily to all 4 wheels...

These things are begging for traction control. I have figured out a fairly easy way to do it, I just wont have the time till next fall at the earliest to even start playing with it...

You set the air pressure in the system using the adjustment on the governor on top of the air compressor. You need to connect a pressure gauge onto the wet tank to do this properly though. the thing that looks like a regulator on the wet tank is called a protection valve and shuts off air to...

That would be the best way to do it depending on how much air you plan on flowing thru the system. The air dryer needs to be purged regularly to maintain its effectiveness if you are flowing a lot of air thru it. You may also need a check valve to keep air from flowing back toward the engine...

Yes you can depending what your overall flow requirements are. This unit obviously has a flow range/limit, but I have no idea what that limit is. You will also need to add in something (timer and solenoid valve or solenoid valve controlled by pressure switch) to regularly purge/backflush the...

You can make a gladhand adapter and apply air to the emergency gladhand on the front of the vehicle. This will charge/fill your air system with shop air. It will also release your parking brakes so you may need to chock the wheels if your floor is not level. Your shop air also needs to be dry...

Exactly, the torque will escape to whichever wheel has the least traction relative to the others In AWD.

What Tennmogger said. The center diff is a planetary differential. A planetary has 3 driven or drive points. The sun gear, the planetary carrier which holds the planetary gears that orbit the sun and the ring gear that rotates outside the planets. In this case I believe the transmission thru...

I should add that to test AWD function, chock the rear wheels, jack up a front wheel, start the truck and engage D or R. That lifted front wheel should rotate...
