Use the guy Clinto uses to trailer it. But maybe see if you could barter with him. See if buying a affordable winch would be exchanged for the transport or part of it.
No, because you'd have to route both brake lines into a single line if you only have one airpack. The air system and tanks are just to supply air to the airpacks.
Edit:
Here's a diagram from the brake line side of things and how the normal system works. 21-23 is the line out of the single...
The electric pump is a backup in the event there's no pressure from the PS pump. In that video I could see the hyd. line feeding into it. And he had a waterloo PS setup, so I'm sure he had the hyd hooked up.
Can someone give me some advice on the Hydro-max booster setup? I am leaning that way because with no hydraulic pressure the motor will kick in to assist. My wrinkle is the hyd. plumbing circuit. From what I see, the outlet of all these hydro-max boosters are for low pressure returns. I plan...
I'm honestly thinking more to the hydroboost setup. There's been a many of deuces towbar'ed without air brakes on them. My only other truck that could "safely" do it would be the 5 ton. So it has a weight advantage. A single hydroboost on the wall and simply two lines down to tap into the...
On the drive home I just realized one trade off going that route. I know it's not often used, but the airpacks can have a air supply plumbed into them to make towbaring the deuce easier. (It's a add on to the line at the airpack, so it's not factory) The dual airpack route would allow for...
I'm not sure if I'll get to get away next weekend. But I'm looking for a set of 395's for my deuce. I have a pair of lockers for a 5 ton I'd like to trade for them.
I think I've decided the process I'm going to take. I was thinking about dual airpacks. That would make things "simple" when it comes to the trailer air side. But it also doubles the amount of air packs in the system which historically have been "problematic". Not to mention they're not...
I'm interested in buying a set myself. I'd be up for reaching out to him to see what we'd need to get a group buy going. I can head up the group buy over here on the site too.
So I've had this truck for a number of years. Honestly I stopped driving it around 10 years ago. But I've had it since 2007. Today I have had the body "dustless" sandblasted. And I've got it primed. The plan is to have @Spot_ll work his magic on it like he did my CUCV. There will be other...
I have two or three of those laying around. That was the path I was going to take at first. But I gave up on the idea. I don't like the thoughts of losing air pressure and having no physical connection to the brakes. Yes, I know in a air brake system you have no physical connection. But in...
