    5 ton Sprag Switch

    No. Supply line to poppet. While your there tighten all eight of the retaining 7/16 bolts that hold the poppet together / to the transmission.

    5 ton Sprag Switch

    Yes two lines coming off the poppets going to the air cylinder. The cylinder piston has two springs on both ends. Without full air pressure the spring can not be completely compressed to engage the sprag. This is what they are calling neutral. Here is the pic of the piston with one side spring...

    5 ton Sprag Switch

    I never thought about locking hubs but I don't drive any 809 series more than 200 miles from home. In my case I will pay for the extra fuel and leave my set up stock. Bet if you can find them with the cost you could buy another truck. Yes you would need to do the air cutoff if you had locking...

    Why would you need two valves to control forward and reverse that's the poppet valve job. Just one Deuce air switch plumed into the air supply line. You could also use a air switch from a lift axle. Just as long as the switch relieves the pressure when off. Correct all you have to do is air...

    Know you asked Ron yes the Deuce air control for the transfer case on the dash is perfect as it will dump any held air pressure. One would think if using the Deuce air switch and you wanted it on the dash then one could cap the old frame rail air line and just pick up air supply closer to the...

    5 ton Sprag Switch

    I have not done the valve on any of my 5 tons. Thinking about it I might remove the rubber line from both frame and poppet valve. Then run Synflex line from frame to new valve where ever you want to mount it. Then Synflex from shut off valve to poppet. The only problem I see is if the line from...

    5 ton Sprag Switch

    Sorry I don't have any pictures. The cut of switch / valve is not between the transmission and transfer case. The line you put the valve in line with is the rubber air line that comes off passenger side frame rail and supplies air to the poppett valve.
