    M1009 towing M101A2 trailer

    Your options are Changing the Lunette on the surge brake to the adjustable height one And adding air bags or an ad a leaf to the M1009. The problem with an ad a leaf is the truck will ride harder empty Another option is replace the springs on the M1009 they probably have sagged over the years

    I was taught to drive by floating gears and downshifting do an almost complete stop, twin stick Mack usually running about 60k on three axles. You are not driving a car, you are driving a big truck. When properly set up an Allison will downshift to a stop but the engine must be running.
