Have you downloaded an Operator's Manual yet?

Tom and Mike are totally spot-on! Years ago while doing service work, I constantly told my customers I would not install direct bury wire, unless you wanted to see me again in the next few years to replace it. THWN and PVC is the only way to go.

Yes.

I think you have the "super deluxe" style, mine is all plastic, extremely cheesey, and off my '87 Deuce. I'll have to look and see if the '71 deuce might have a better quality unit. The pistons are entirely different. Strange.

Got a part number? I just dug through their catalog and couldn't find anything that mounted on the steering column. Good idea, I'd like to mount mine that way.

Line DD is your Service Line (pressurized by brake pedal) Line AA is your Emergency Line (constant pressure)

Nice write-up and photos on your air line repair task. Makes me think I should have replaced my (2) under-dash air lines when I replaced that dumb O ring. Nice job! As far as the "tiny leaks in multiple locations", I got on the creeper, got under the truck with a few tubing wrenches, and spent...

I have an Deuce air line schematic on the computer at home. I can post it for you tonight when I get to my LZ.

CMDR5993, My apologies, I completely mis-understood you. :oops: I thought your were trying to replace the existing unit with the brake light switch, hence the basic explaination of how the switch works. I am in agreement with the others, I see no reason why the replacement brake light switch...

Sorry, no it won't work. The brake light switch closes a set of contacts when the correct pressure is applied to it. The axle engagement switch, is a valve and a set of contacts in one package. The valve allows air to be sent to the transfer case to engage the front axle. The switch portion...

They are not the only game in town, shop around. Look here in the Classifieds, eBay, etc.

Get it together Ron. :oops:

Congratulations for standing up and being different. Welcome to SS from the Plains of Colorado.

I installed these units a few years ago, I've been very happy with them. The Pyro does not require any power to operate. I asked the MFG to install 24 volt red LED backlighting in the gauges to match my Deuce's instrument panel. Hewitt Industries Bolsa, CA...

Sounds as though it may be. I hope he will take some of the advice given here seriously. 600 miles on a leaky wheel cylinder? I would pass on that trip in a heartbeat.

Yes, inspect and make sure the brake system is 100%, no leaks, MC topped off, rubber lines in good serviceable condition, no air leaks, etc. If it's not 100%, I wouldn't drive it around the block until the system is right.

I think I need a chiropractor after watching that video.

Sounds as though you've gotten a little soft since moving to Texas Jim. Hope the CUCV doesn't start kickin' your butt! :)

Have you visually narrowed it down to the hose? I thought my hose was leaking also and it was the axle air shift switch itself. A little rubber O ring took care of that problem. Just a thought.
