    Air-O-Matic adjustment

    Thanks for the information. That pdf will really help in diagnosis. I just put the wheels back on the truck and tried it out. Very little assist in either direction with full air pressure. It is exhausting air though. I did not use the air regulator but did use the safety valve. I think the...

    Air-O-Matic adjustment

    My air-o-matic drag link has a lot of threads showing and some on here have very few threads showing. What's a good way to tell where I need to be with this adjustment. The stock drag link is not adjustable. But the new one is. I tried to match it up lengthwise with the stock one but you can...

    Drag link removal

    I was very careful with this part knowing it was cast metal and snuck up on the tightening procedure for that reason.I think that this was the first time I have ever followed tightening instructions to the letter ever. Would always tighten by feel. And this was made before the days of Chinese...

    Drag link removal

    that's an air regulator with the small black hard plastic line and the other two lines are the exhaust hoses out of the bottom of the unit.I think they were added later, don't need them.

    Drag link removal

    I found some pictures of take off units and both looked like these pictures with 1.5 in or more of threads exposed.What do you think?. Looks to be about how far mine is threaded out.I don't know how you got yours on without moving either the pitman arm or the arm on the wheel.

    Drag link removal

    Big difference in the two. I had mine like yours at first but couldn't tighten the screws enough to get the cotter pins in. Had to screw it out this far to install without pitman or steering arm changing position and to get the cotter pins in.
