98G has one for sale in the classifieds.

The air pressure would not be a problem for a brake system. But I doubt air alone would be enough to flush out old fluid. But plenty of brake cleaner followed by air should be quite effective.

To be crystal clear, either type will work but 5 is incompatible with 3 or 4. This means your system needs to be cleaned of all old fluid before introducing different fluid.

What were you pulling on it with? Did you try a come-a-long? My dad always said “Don’t force it, get a bigger hammer”.

1100x20 is what I have heard is the limit for duals on stock wheels.

If you go the reward route , use quality tape. I second the suggestion to use Scotch 33. I use that exclusively.

Might you need spare light bulbs for stop/tail/turn signals? A volt meter or test light might come in handy. Do you have a serviceable spare tire? Does the truck have everything needed to change a flat tire (Including cribbing)? Have you thought to share your itinerary and route here for...

I have a dual Delco alternator setup I installed on my deuce after the original alternator quit. One is 12 volt and the other 24. Both are one- wire alternators. I did not isolate either alternator because I went to a three- battery setup. The ground is common for both the 12 and 24 volt...

I considered using a hitch ball as the front anchor but that would be more intrusive in the bed when the camper is not on the truck. Since my camper is easily removed (like a slide-in truck camper), I did not want to interfere with that function. Since the trailer had surge brakes, the hitch...

To further you friend’s advice, have you measured 24 volts to the buzzer while it is connected? If there is a high resistance in the circuit, it may show 24 volts until a load (buzzer) is connected. This high resistance would likely be the switch since the installed buzzer works when you jumper...

Alaskan campers are nice but pricey and torsion isolating frames don’t look cheap either. The HiLo was given to me and since I did not cut the frame, I could return it to trailer duty with little effort.

The trailer sits on the bed, on crossmenbers I fabricated. At the front, it is attached mostly in a horizontal direction (slight downward) with turnbuckles to eye-bolts on the bed. Two turnbuckles diagonally or about 45 degrees from the truck centerline are used. This pulls the trailer tongue...

I am not sure about the airstreams in particular but I put a HiLo on my M927. I think the key is to not have the trailer flex with the truck frame. Mine is attached to the bed which is designed to stay relatively flat while the truck flexes. Here is the link to my build...

I made one from a section of 4 inch exhaust pipe with a strong magnet on the bottom. It sticks to the floorboard, fender, seat frame, etc.

Why not have one 12v battery recharged with a converter for those loads. Do what works best for you on the 24v system I have a 12v setup on my deuce but I went with dual alternators for recharge.

Find a local hydraulic hose shop. I had all new lines made up at one local to me. Their fittings were even laser engraved with DOT certification.

Or in place of the vented cap, a remote fluid reservoir.

Due to the stiffness of the suspension , I have not found I need stabilizers. Since my camper has jacks, I could use them if needed. Below is a link to my build so you can see my setup. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/vpeds-stretch-m927.213148/

Here is a link to what I did. Food for thought. Truck likes 60 mph. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/vpeds-stretch-m927.213148/

I have a ladder on my rig that is similar to your drawing. It was an old warehouse roll-around ladder that I cut to suit my needs. The handle rail is removable and stows flat. I adjust for varying campsite heights at the attachment point to the truck. The attachment points consist of two pieces...
