    Airbrake hand controller 'Trolley valve' install assistance needed.

    Not true. You losing a rear emergency gladhand will not cause a decrease of air pressure on the truck side in a 939 series truck. Primary,secondary, and spring tank all have check valves that prevent backflow. The emergency side of the gladhands is charged off the wet tank which as we know is...

    Ill be nice before I get an infraction. eh. ok i wont be. You missed that part of the requirements where it says "Engaged in interstate or intrastate commerce" If that is the case then anyone driving over 10,001 lbs has to have a CDL if engaged in commerce. SEE the attached definitions for...

    Airbrake hand controller 'Trolley valve' install assistance needed.

    Your wheels are stamped "NOT DOT APPROVED" or "MILITARY USE ONLY" Depending on which size studs you have on the wheel is what it will say. There are various phrases they say. Your state can't even pave the roads so they usually are pretty tough on DOT laws. after you fall off in a pothole to...

    Airbrake hand controller 'Trolley valve' install assistance needed.

    Negative. In alot of states as long as you are not engaged in commerce you do not need a cdl. In TN, MS and AR you can drive a 379 Pete and a 53ft step deck as a personal vehicle and no cdl is needed. Even if it weighs 79,999lbs. No CDL is needed unless its engaged in commerce. The states...

    Airbrake hand controller 'Trolley valve' install assistance needed.

    Negative. They have a parking brake valve. military 5 ton tractors have the same parking brake valve as a a cargo truck. They just have the tractor valve. The roller linear valve is the same as a push/pull dash mounted tractor valve. It is just incorporated into the handle so that when the...

    Do you have a A1 or A2 truck? If you have combat wheels on your 5 ton the they are not DOT approved so you better park it.

    Airbrake hand controller 'Trolley valve' install assistance needed.

    3/8 " DOT. I put KN23010 since you can't go from 1/2" pipe to 1/4" DOT without a bushing reducer. They make a fitting that will but it isn't common stock. It makes more sense to use a 3/8" inlet and outlet than using extra reducer bushings. My m322 trailer uses the same type of brake relay...

    Airbrake hand controller 'Trolley valve' install assistance needed.

    Ok, Quit overthinking discoball. Typical engineers flaw. If that is the case you just need to install another KN23000 or KN23010 on that T valve on the frame rail for the delivery line from the trolley valve. So it won't allow air to go up that line but only to come out of it. I pulled my vent...

    Airbrake hand controller 'Trolley valve' install assistance needed.

    Bringing it back. Installed one on my M923. Takes about an hour or so. I did not use anything from a 931 or 818 truck other than the valve itself. Everything else was easily sourced from NAPA or a Parker store. Items needed: Trolley Valve 1/4" pipe to 3/8" DOT pushlok fitting 1/4" pipe to...
