This system will apply service air and can be fit to any axle. It wont mess with the park air system at all, as there are no park brakes on the front axle, and having the front axle being able to apply max traction is pretty desirable IMO. It will respond as fast as the solenoids can apply air...

yes, but if you bleed the air off of a particular side’s parking brake can, it will apply the park brake spring on that side... my idea does not block any braking air, and having to apply the brake pedal while trying to apply the gas pedal can be problematic. My idea adds brake air to the can...

Yes. My design is modular, one module per wheel and some interconnecting wires for sense and power so you will be able to do it for any axle desired...

Yes, except there are no parking brakes on the front. What I am thinking of will fit pretty easily to all 4 wheels...

These things are begging for traction control. I have figured out a fairly easy way to do it, I just wont have the time till next fall at the earliest to even start playing with it...

Exactly, the torque will escape to whichever wheel has the least traction relative to the others In AWD.

What Tennmogger said. The center diff is a planetary differential. A planetary has 3 driven or drive points. The sun gear, the planetary carrier which holds the planetary gears that orbit the sun and the ring gear that rotates outside the planets. In this case I believe the transmission thru...

I should add that to test AWD function, chock the rear wheels, jack up a front wheel, start the truck and engage D or R. That lifted front wheel should rotate...

AWD can seem like 2WD as it has a center differential so if a rear wheel can spin, ALL the torque can escape thru the rear diff and a single rear wheel. The center diff is geared so the rear end has a mechanical advantage(70% torque to the rear, 30% to the front) and unless you are loaded to...
