    Deuce M35A2 front brake hoses on axle (Napa UP 36512 DOES NOT FIT)

    So I have ordered a dorman hose (H41221) but it won't make it in until tomorrow (hopefully). I ordered a Napa UP 36512 because it was mentioned it would fit. It does not fit at all. To further complicate things, the Raybestos cross reference says this matches the H41221. The Dorman...

    My pockets aren't deep enough for that one on ePay now. Woof.

    modern dual circuit air over hydraulic brakes

    I'm going to be adding power steering to my truck. So I'll be installing a LDS PS pump. But one could also build a bracket and hang a GM style PS pump too if you needed. I plan to mount my MC/Hydro-max booster to the firewall. I'm going to use pillow blocks to hang a 1" shaft from the...

    On the hunt for a gas turbine!

    I've wanted one for years. But can't ever seem to find one that is affordable and local-ish.

    modern dual circuit air over hydraulic brakes

    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...

    Stuck brake hose fittings

    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...

    Single circuit to dual circuit brake conversion

    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.

    My M35A2 is NMC in Columbus GA

    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.

    modern dual circuit air over hydraulic brakes

    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...

    modern dual circuit air over hydraulic brakes

    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.

    modern dual circuit air over hydraulic brakes

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