    Brake Proportioning Valve

    The rear load compensating valve for the brakes does what it obviously says it does. Namely it prevents rear brake lockup under hard braking with little or no load in the truck. The prevents a potential loss of control especially if this occurs while cornering. I would be cautious in considering...

    out of fuel

    This procedure is covered in TM 9-2320-289-20 page 187 for bleeding the filter. TM 9-2320-289-34 page 198 for identifying the bleeder on the IP The lift pump is before the filter so the fuel should be picked up pretty quickly.

    out of fuel

    Testing an Airpack?

    I use airtool oil in the air bores (main air piston and also the compensator bore on the side of the slave cylinder. I use dot 5 in the hydraulic bore. The trick is to NOT take all the seals off until you have the new ones. Saves a lot of confusion. Ask me how I know this. RL

    I have a Suburban with the same size rims and in the same weight class. I plowed snow for many years and the best tire for traction in snow, on highway, or other roadways is the 235R85-16 series. It is narrow enough to get the tread down onto the roadway, or driveway, or dirt road. I found...
