That is what I thought as well. I mean, on tractors you also have the trailer brake control valve on the column to allow you to modulate the rear brakes. It just seems like full apply on any braking could lead to some unsafe trailering.

I think I've decided how I'm going to go about it now. I was considering the air brake canister. But I'd have to really redo the air plumbing to do that. Also you really get into needing to separate tanks. Since I'm really only looking for a way to get better brakes, I'm going to go with the...

Click on the upgrade link at the top of any page. (Only from a browser though, if you're using tapatalk, it won't be displayed) Right now it's on sale for only $10 a year.

The residual valving is more for the lower MC mounting height from what I understand. Mount the MC up higher on the firewall and it wouldn't be needed. I ordered the last MC they had as well. It appears the difference is actually a safety switch to light up the brake light in the event...

Oh. I'm going to either mount mine to the firewall and make a "modern" pedal setup. Or mount a can to it and put it out there on the firewall. I think it'd be easier that way. And if I do, I can mount the second air pack down where the old MC went.

Are you talking about the remote reservoir or are you talking about a mounting plate for the MC? Mount for it will have to be one off made.

Uploaded the drawing. I think this means there's about 54.5mm of travel. Or about 2" of travel. I'm getting it's from the 20 and 34.5mm measurements where things are measured for the front and rear pistons. Now to figure out brake can setup or just a simple firewall mount and a second...

Yes, Dorman sent me a terrible drawing of the MC I mentioned. I was trying to figure out stroke length.

That appears to be one without the check valve. Centric 130.79025 is another part number you can use.

Wilwood emailed me back, they don't make a cylinder large enough for our trucks. So that's out. But I wonder if the three separate MC one would work.... Splitting all three axles. But that'd be a lot of plumbing to make that work. Anyhow, after speaking with Peashooter. He recommends dorman...

You could just run a ballasting resistor for a 12v igntion. But why the pertronix? Just use a HEI distributor.

I sent Wilwood an email asking if they had any options that would suit the pressure/volume. We'll see what they say. I like the air brake can idea better because we keep the air system for all the air brake trailers. Hydroboost is a possibility, but I'm not sure how you'd make that also...

So the deuce brake system runs at 1800 psi. I know the stock single circuit MC is a 1.75" bore. I found a spec sheet that listed the length as 9.625 and 8.188 compressed. So I assume that'd be the piston travel. So that works out to be 3.46 cubic in. So .58 cubic in for each wheel?

My CUCV would only be sold to @Spot_ll if that ever happened. But I know I wouldn't take less than $12k as it sits right now minus the crane.

No, this reply isn't in the battery drawing thread.

I was told 8 was enough from the mud people that run hydro steering. I know yours was a 9". But when it comes to cyl you have 8 then 10. So no 9 option. I'll probably just torch my own plates. Probably wouldn't be terribly hard to hack up the already broken up military steering wheel and...

The .275 servo came in today. As well as a power steering pump. I ordered a 3x8x1.25 double action cylinder. I'm going to just use a single cylinder and keep the stock drag link in place. Hopefully I'll win a trans cooler on ebay too for like $23. I have the couplers ordered. Once I get...

I got it, just been in a rush today. Got it downgraded, but it looks like you've upgraded now. I'll go address the time missing now.
