    Dash Air Brake Parking/Trailer Manifold Install—Conversion to single unit

    I'm installing the new single-unit dash manifold for the Parking Brake & Trailer air. I've done a lot of research and I'm currently waiting for a few parts to complete the installation. I've read through the thread written mainly by Overdrive. Great info there. I've read through it many times...

    Question - assistance converting air park/emergency valves to single unit

    Thank you for all of this excellent information regarding the switch to the single unit haldex dash park/trailer manifold. My original manifold is leaking badly so I'm replacing it and I have been researching this extensively. Your info has been invaluable. That said, I want to ensure I'm...

    m1083 weak brakes

    Getting it registered with a title in Montana through govplanet. Then it will have a legit VIN and title. So once I get it converted to an RV, then I'll register it in California as an RV. My fingers are crossed that this plan works. 🙂

    m1083 weak brakes

    Hi All, I'm a first-time poster. I bought a GovPlanet Hawaii m1083A1 (my first FMTV!) and I just received my EUC. So I'll do a hop to Honolulu and pick up the truck and prepare for RoRo shipping to Oakland. Btw, thanks to Fuzzy. He's already provided me with very helpful info on my Hawaii...
