    New Project M54a2

    Air lines on the transmission are for the transfer case- it sends a signal to let the transfer case know if you are in forward or reverse gear. Should make a thunk sound when going from forward to reverse or the other way.

    M816 Cummins egine mods needed

    My M816 came from the military with a Jacobs brake already installed. They had to put a "box" in the hood to clear the raised valve covers in the rear. There are several posts about putting an air cut off for the sprag t-case to put it in "neutral".
