I have the long air pack. Just one since it's still single circuit. I'm looking into alternatives to get modern dual circuit brakes and do away with the air pack all together. Having to deal with malfunctioning single circuit brakes in the mountains really turned me off to the whole idea.

I put them all around.

Yup. Turns out it was like the problem peashooter had. The stock wheel cylinder pins were too long with the new larger wheel cylinders. I was able to get the drums on and the pads adjusted when I initially installed them. In service it appears they would drag slightly and then over time would...

I'm travelling up to Fordyce lake for camping. The air pack on the 109 is locking up and now I'm stuck at a freeway offramp. I'm at the offramp for secret town road off I80 just past colfax. Is there any ss members in this area that can help? Gotta get a new air pack to get mobile.
