Speaking of overhaul kits, what about the gasket that goes under the cap? Is that a make your own if you're not doing a rebuild? Mine is breaking up. Nevermind, I found them for sale.

Since I use a remote resavoure I was planning on using the same type/size quick release on that line and the pressure bleeder tank that I have. I was asking about the tube that goes onto the bleeder screw fittings when bleeding into a container. No shop air out here in the field.

Ok, some things to note, I was not gentle enough w/ the new felt and ripped it. At that point I took a two pronged approach and glued the ripped pieces back together, but I also cleaned up the one that was in previously to evaluate that one. When it came time to install I decided that the...

1/4" air brake line is said to work if you don't want clear line. You may have to get different fittings though. I haven't done it but it gets talked about a lot so you should be able to find multiple theads about it. If you want the clear line I've always gotten mine from McMasters, the...

I can relate to that. We built out an M109 and put 395s on it. It would stay on top of any terrain we went through, super soft sand, mud, but it was harsh in really rocky terrain where a rock only contacting part of the tire would try taking the steering wheel out of your hands and monuvering...

Think I might know your posts from "The Expedition Portal"? Or maybe Oil Burners?

The answer is yes, you have to separate the two parts of the piston. I went back and looked at the rubber cup in the parts kit and it definitely only comes off and a new one goes on if the two pieces are separated. I did manage to separate them by running a thin blade in between the two parts...

Thanks! I was starting to think the days of getting responses on the deuce section of the forum was in the past. I did use wood in the vice and got the nut off w/o much of a problem. The issue is w/ the piston head, which is made up of two parts - the "follower " which holds the felt and the...

I would say that's all pretty normal. Here's mine after backing in on a hard turn.

After carrying on w/ other parts of the rebuild I noticed that the compensator piston felt was also not glued together at the ends. Is that common and exceptable?

So I started having some brake issues and decided to rebuild the airpack, then I ran into a couple issues. First off it looked really good inside the cylinder and the piston's components were all in great shape . . . then in the clean up I used brake cleaner. At that point the felt came unglued...

I'll see if I can dig some up and start a thread on it. Had some hard drive fails so lost a section of years in its development. In the meantime here's one of the builds that I did, https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/camper-m109-spacial-transformations-style.54442/

Right. Wanted to replace the line I bypassed the FDC w/ years ago and while I was at it I was just going to change the other two off the secondaries as well. I've always liked using clear line so that I could see certain fuel issues but have learned over the years that the desert is hard on...

My question was just about changing the type of lines used and whether I needed to change all the fittings. My FDC was bypassed about 15 years ago, like I stated earlier. I have no confusion about how to do that.

Thank you very much! Exactly the kind of info I need.

Would I have to change out the fittings for all three of the lines coming off the finals, or just for that one?

Are you taking about changing the copper line from the primary?

Not leaking as I haven't changed anything yet. I think it was an optical illusion. I had picked up enough 3/8" air line to replace old lines and then noticed that the particular line running between the two appeared larger diameter. I didn't actually do anything as rebuilding the brake air...

For some reason I was under the impression that I had two sizes of fuel lines around my secondary filters, but now i find that I have three. The 1/4" lines from my return, the 3/8" off my secondaries, and the as of yet unknown size that is connecting my secondaries to the bottom of the IP. Is...

Never "downgraded" to an LMTV 😆 but have been nomading/overlanding for about 15(+-) years in this rig and have a total of 43 years since I moved into my first rig. The trailer combo is an S-448 shelter sitting on an M-796 bolster trailer. The shelter is removable and trailer can be used to haul...
