I've mentioned this so many times in the past I figured most have seen what I've written and only needed a little reminder. I guess not.

Yes I have. In fact it works pretty good. You only have seconds of pressure but that is enough.

In the process I mentioned your suppose to spin the wheel during the tightening sequence. The brakes are always suppose to be backed off. That is just common sense. The only way to get large wheel bearings to fully seat is to torque them down hard. That has been industry standard for over 8...

You would need to "Buy" the adapter from someone here on Steel Soldiers who actually makes them. No aftermarket NAPA or anyone else makes them for the deuce. That or make your own like I and many others did. Actually at this time I'm having a machine shop make up a prototype fuel filter mounting...

You can "preprime" the oil galley. That way you know your getting oil before you start-up the engine. Just use a "pesticide" sprayer and instead of bug killer put in engine oil. Then attach it to a plugged oil port with a nipple and hose, and pump away ! Of course disconnect it and put the plug...

Hey Aaron, glad you jumped in on here. As far as the residual check valves go, they are pressed in. You can use a screw and slid-hammer to remove them if you need to. For all the rest of you here. Peashooter is one of the most read-up and knowledgeable on the "Master cylinder" and "Wheel...

We have a "crash" site here ?

The "Breda" bus or "Tunnel" bus (made in Italy) for "Seattle Metro" was a dual brake configuration. Air brakes to the two rear axles, and hydraulic brakes to the giant front caliper brakes. It took awhile to get it to work properly, but after about 5 years we got it dialed in pretty good.

The 60% port would go to the rear on the Deuce. Normally the 60% would go to the front due to caliper brakes needing more fluid. On the Deuce the 60% goes to the rear wheel cylinders. The 60% port should be the one nearest to the mounting flange Almost all dual brake master cylinders have a...

Floridianson's answer is the closest to what we do on big rigs all the time. We tighten the nut to about 200 to 250 Ft Ibs while spinning the wheel assembly, then back off about 30 degrees (or until there is no load on the bearing, also the brakes should be backed off during this while process)...

Actually the output of the master cylinder can be 60% , 40% . The dual system always runs the front brakes separate from the rear. Since the rear has 4 wheel cylinders and the front only 2 you could get away with a differential between systems. In fact I've been looking at this and most all...

Yes, but considering their age I would just get a new one. At this point the insulation is starting to come off.

Here is a picture and were you can buy one:https://www.bigmachineparts.com/products/air-governor-bendix-d-2-bmps6106?variant=44889069646&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIj4yx1_7e2wIVVbjACh1GWwHkEAQYASABEgL7VfD_BwE

That's a good one !!! "You fit in the cab" !!!!! rofl

Check the air Governor on the firewall. If it has malfunctioned then you will not get any air to build up. If it needs work then just replace it. Their really cheap, just $20.00 at most truck supply stores or online.

It's the wire spider for powering the gauges. You can buy them new from "Eriks" surplus.

Totally agree ! With the booster and all it can be a real pain to get all the air out of the system. The power bleeder really pushes the brake fluid and gets that stuck air out fast.

That's looking pretty good to me ! Are you then going to remount it to the old bracket with bolts or welding it ?

I have a good collection of 4"x6" and 6"x6" and 8"x8" pressure treated lumber at hand all the time for cribbing ! I also own over 10ea 16ton jack-stands and two of the 20 ton stands. The cribbing still goes under the truck ! Once you've seen a jack-stand or any safety device fail it really puts...

Good accurate description of loading the cable. Except the "unsafe" part ! ;-)
