Does anyone want to sell a controller box?

Thank you for responding. I feel no air flow out the T1 or T2 return lines but there is a bit of pressure flowing out the one makes pilot. Does this seem right?

So here are my latest findings and questions. I pulled everything out of the box and used brake clean in a pressurized can and air to make sure all passages were clean. Pulled the 2 little orifices in the back of cab raise and lower and the spare tire raise and lower. Filters were clean. The...

Thank you for the information. I didn't know new trucks could be had with wedge brakes. Lugnuts

Not disagreeing with you but why did then the commercial industry quit using wedge brakes? If the commercial side isn't using them it certainly won't me profitable for them to keep making them unless you have someplace that is using the trucks commercially. Kinda like Korea using M35's. A lot of...

CoachGeo, doesn't look like it got back to. Vintage Iron's post sounded like he knew it could be done. Is he still an active member. I am not as critical as I used to be about wedge brakes as long as the adjuster stay working. According to my vendors and what I read they discontinued wedge...

The rollers that come out of the tube and press into the wheel cylinder when air is applied. They come in different configurations and lengths. You know looking back at the kit the machining that is in the bottom of the pistons that get pushed out could be cut to certain angles but I never saw a...

The degree is probably a reference to the angle or aggressiveness of the wedge. I forgot to mention in the video that if you remove the wedge and clean it, you will find the part number that you need to replace the wedge. There are quite a few variations and you want them all to match for equal...

The kit itself appears to be correct but the long return springs are wrong. The FMTV's have the springs with curvature to go around the housing. Also it states that its for 12" brakes, I did not measure what the diameter of the brakes was on the unit I was working, but as far as the wedge wheel...

Thank you CoachGeo!!! Far superior explanation, filming, nomenclature/ Thank you for bringing this to light for all who need it, I had searched the archives of Steel Soldiers and found no one had done it so while I was there working I filmed it rather primitively for sure. Thank you again and...

Thank you. I was able to get from eBay 6 chamber rebuild kits for about $250. That's why I bought them,

I will look into sir and thank you

Definitely be interested in what you have. You'll be my new best friend! LOL

I went through the manuals that I have and didn't see a whole lot that was specific to troubleshooting these boxes. If you recall which TM they were in I sure would appreciate that info. Thank you

I had the task last week of repairing grabby brakes on a M1078 and went ahead and recorded a video for the novice to at least get an idea of what was behind the braking on their truck as far as the wedge chamber was concerned. Don't know if it is of interest but I hope it helps someone as much...

When I rebuilt them I made sure all the holes aligned and it was working fine on three cycles. I have watched the video posted and didn't realize I had orifices and ports in the bottom of the spool valves. I am just coming to fact that I need to remove and go through every orifice on the...

Thank you for your reply. Do you have to remove the box completely or can it be dropped down and get to those?

I guess the simple question would be to ask if there is a Troubleshooting Chart for the Hydraulics System? After reading the Manual I read how to disassemble and reassemble but it never explained the function of the check valves and flows of the oil/ My valves were leaking oil out the front of...

Interstate Group 31 Threaded Posts/ Glad you could use the video/

I didn't put it in the video but I do install a Noco charger/ 10 amp/ Amazon for $127.00/ Mounts to the back wall of the Battery Box/ Run the 110 volt power chord to the NATO connection holes left from taking the cable out/ Works great/ Batteries last a long time and don't cook/
