No.
That's my plan; I'm going to offer the kit both ways. With and without. Reason I'm working on finding a master is that the correct ones are hard to find and expensive. I am going to find a better solution.
Oh wait, there's one more thing.......................... rofl
How many of you guys have ever replaced the electroline fitting on a winch?
The manufacturer says it works like this:

Look at the flash animation that's halfway down...
This is what I meant about the clevis and shift arm:
Ok, so now, the system is complete and you've filled it with fluid. I used Napa AW32 10W. 932 took 8 gallons.
So, this last part covers the way the wire rope rolls onto the drum.
EDIT: I originally thought level wind equipped drums had...
Alright, as I was saying, this stuff is big. So you may have to be clever in order to get it installed.
This feed hose is big and it's designed to flex in order to get it in place. Improvisation.
Again, everything is specific. This pump came off a cargo truck. Note the rear hose fitting...
Alright, with the tank mounted and PTO in place, let's move the hydraulic pump and linear (diverter valve).
The way this system works is that you engage the PTO, the PTO spins a driveshaft that runs a hydraulic pump. Hyd. pump creates pressure and sends it to the linear valve, which you...
Ok, so in order to have room to get the PTO into place, you have to remove one of the tranny cooling lines on top of the trans, one that's behind the PTO (which has to come out in order to add the cooling line going to the PTO, the exhaust pipe and heat shield, etc. So with all that out of the...
I have been planning on adding to this thread for a while and since I'm sick and sidelined on the couch, today is it.
Since this thread is titled in a way that makes it always come up at the top for any M939 winch install, I think we're going to consider it the official "how to install a winch...
Our company owns nothing but Cummins duallies, automatics and six speeds and having logged lots of miles in both, I literally can not wrap my head around buying an automatic. The sticks are eleventy billion times more pleasant to drive.
You need to see if the shifter shaft is moving in the transfer or the entire case is moving. Most people re-use their old transfer mount bushings and with age they get hard and don't do their job. You can buy new ones, look in the -P manual, find the NSN and google/ebay it. Think I bought...
I am determined to bring this to market and I have two extremely competent friends with manufacturing expertise in my corner, so I am confident I can make one. Question is going to be at what price and how many do I have to make and how many master cylinders to I have to buy in order to get...
There is a lot of difference between the 1949-1986 system and the 1987-1989 system. The M44A3 system is roughly the same, except it uses a master cylinder mount that won't really work, as it has no provision for a clutch pedal. Yeah, you can make it work, but it's not good enough for me...
All 1949-1986 M44/G742 series trucks equipped with a front winch use a U-shaped bracket that bolts to 2 threaded holes in the single circuit master cylinder.
1987-1989 USAF dual circuit trucks use a different master cylinder mount which allows the modern aluminum dual circuit master cylinder...
I am in the process of trying to manufacture the hardest part of the dual circuit conversion: the master cylinder/ pedal assy. mount. If I can bring this to market and find a master cylinder, then peope can add their own 2nd airpack, bend some brake lines and have a factory designed and tested...
I know people have built these things with brownie boxes in 'em, but the driveshaft looks too short to me. These axles can move a lot.

What you should have is this lifting bracket, like Frank described:
This is what I did with a customer's Jeep that was missing the bracket. Pulled a front and rear head bolt. Hope the head gasket doesn't leak when I put it back together but it's a chance I had to take.
EDIT: B2U added...
I think the biggest reason to have a functioning parking brake is for all the times you're actually using the truck. Backing up to a trailer by yourself? You'll get out of the truck a few times to see where you're at-you wanna' shut the truck off every single time?
Eastern or TNJ (Eastern I...
The 30316 is a partial VIN. You're missing a 4 digit prefix.
Go look on the drivers side framerail, near the pitman arm. You'll likely find a number there, like 0125-30316, 0225-30316, etc.
Let us know what that is.
They absolutely work better; I'd call them a requirement.
Every one of the NAPA 4419's I've used in the last 5 years has had them and that includes the recent Chinese ones and the older American made ones. I open every wheel cylinder up before I install it to verify it has the correct ones...
