    Front Axle Engagement Air Pressure Switch - Replacement

    Hey SteelAndCanvas! Thanks for the comments! My Dad and I have been working on our Deuce for the past 3 months. Done a ton of work. Some of the work was to update or add, but much of it has been maintenance and repair work. The truck was supposed to have been "lacking nothing".... well the...

    Front Axle Engagement Air Pressure Switch - Replacement

    $75.00 isn't bad for the entire kit, especially since you get all the wiring, data plate, etc. To be honest, I didn't look on saturn this time. Had a few problems with them before, mostly when they are sold out of something, and they just "take off" that item from my order, then send the rest...

    Front Axle Engagement Air Pressure Switch - Replacement

    My Axle switch is fine, tore it down, cleaned & oiled, and checked the o rings. Plus apparently, my switch is better than the "newer" style, as the piston and all is metal (minus the rubber orings). So I shouldn't have any problems there. Plus I really don't want to spend $150 when $45 will...

    Front Axle Engagement Air Pressure Switch - Replacement

    Hey S&C, I was just looking at your photo of the front axle air switch dis-assembled in reply #2. and it looks like your switch has a plastic "piston"? Mine is metal with an o-ring. I hadn't put my lever back in yet, so I took the piston back out and took a photo. Wonder what the difference is...

    Front Axle Engagement Air Pressure Switch - Replacement

    That's true Phil, I think I'm going to go ahead and try it. I don't see any reason that it wouldn't work, as they operate the exact same way (when pressure is applied, contacts close). And like you said, worst case, I got an extra brake light switch. I'll order it today, probably won't get it...

    Front Axle Engagement Air Pressure Switch - Replacement

    Hi SteelandCanvas! Yes I have taken apart the valve assembly and cleaned everything. Connected the pressure switch up my air-compressor and used voltage tester to test for continuity "with pressure" and "no pressure" but didn't get anything either way. The electrical pressure switch does...

    Front Axle Engagement Air Pressure Switch - Replacement

    Replacing Front Axle Air Pressure Switch Hey All, I'm having a problem with my front axle light on the dash not working. I tried my front axle engagement switch today, and the light did not come on. So I turned the engine off, and I could hear it engage when I moved the lever. But the light...
