Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
that is correct.... the lock will have to be activated full time. One remaining question is how that activation happens... does it happen with a "burst" of high air pressure to turn it on, and hit it again to turn it off (like a light switch.... you hit it once and it turns on. hit it again to turn it off).... or via a steady flow of air pressure to hold it on. (like a momentary switch.... you hold in place to keep a light on and release of switch it goes off)
basically correct... but that is not applicable to this application as discussed earlier in thread.... where it must be on "all the time". Thus; one remaining question now is..... how is it turned on??? With steady air pressure or with a short duration blast of air pressure? ( as well is the other couple plumbing questions )
I believe you are correct. The axle diff will be open. The drive angle will be higher. You probably have to have the power divider locked all of the time.
been discussed already.... doing it cause I want to lol. Maybe it is over reaction from 6grand transmission repair... maybe it isn't.... but it is happening...
thanks will look into a valve that releases air when power goes off... will keep in mind the concern for always locked. Maybe just Lincoln lock it in future?
True, speed is limited to about 40mph with that diff locked.
but was that a rule of thumb (or strict rule... which ever it was) because when locked the two rear axles no longer have any differentiating potential/slippage between them and this could potentially cause binding problems. Especially if one axle could not slip in any other way (sand, mud, snow, chirping on pavement etc.)...... same problems one would have if you drove a 4x4 in 4wd on pavement. If so then in my swap this a non issue cause there is no second axle locked with it, thus nothing else to form any binding with.
how? as in when an MTV is in mode does it automatically limit speed to 40mph or is driver training say to limit speed to 40mph? Or both?
if this is an issue.... the question is what did Oshkosh do when they made these axles the primary axle in the M1078's back in 2007?? I suspect they did away with the air actuated locker and put in a solid blank like a milled lincoln locker. But did they add lube spray bars too orr?
about to get to this Possibly Wednesday. Any additional specifics on where this Tee may be located? Can anyone grab some pics or have an idea where to look for this in TM. My mind is blank on search words to start with in searching TM's for this airline.
On your 1078 there will be a single solenoid. On the 1088 I parted there was a paired solenoid. If I can find it in the garage I'll snap a picture.
Thanks... makes since..... but not sure if I need dry air or if wet is ok. My guess is need dry air so not to rust up the air solenoid?
