Well, I don't know if my use qualifies it as a true off-road truck as I do take it on the occasional 1 1/2-mile drive drive on pavement. Normally it's used to dig ditches, move dirt and rocks, lift things, plow snow (technically blow snow, as I replace the loader bucket with a snow blower in the...

Hmm. My preference would be to have the front and rear lockers separately activated, and independent of 4WD (which I'd like to make lever operated). Partially because I'm used to running 2WD low range in my Jeep, with a Detroit in the rear. Another reason is that it can be beneficial to have...

Good use of a simple Class 8 valve! I should copy that idea, but will definitely separate the 4WD and locker functions. Not only is it hard on the components to run locked, but I like the extra traction to be available as an option. In other words, I run 2WD until that doesn't work, then 4WD...

GP is letting them age, like good wine.

Congratulations! If only all FLU issues were so simple to fix.

I didn't catch it until right now...your first SEE. Yeah, they can be addictive, I've noticed.

That's good to hear, as I may still need a true parts SEE. In case you didn't already know, Bel-Metric has a lot of those banjo bolts, tubing, etc. Ask for Matt, who (as an added bonus) does know Unimogs.

Glad to hear that. You got in just under the wire, it seems like. If you don't mind, what number was it, or how many miles are on it? I'm asking because I'm getting pretty good at spotting potential trouble through the GP photos/descriptions. PM it to me if you prefer.

Speaking of, did you find a SEE to your liking yet? Looks like GP's supply is drying up.

To me, that higher level of comfort would be a lever, or a simple valve. The more sophisticated a system is, the less comfortable I am with it. With a lever I can feel if everything seems normal, and a ball valve is simplicity itself. Not that everything on a FLU can be easily changed over to...

I would guess that the other regulators in the system are there to provide the desired maximum pressure for the specific part of the system they feed. For example, I would not want 80-90 psi going to the axles. While removing a damaged air vessel makes perfect sense, having less tank capacity...

I'm no expert on the air system (either), but yes, the puny compressor runs all the time. Once the max pressure is reached, that unloader valve spits out the excess. As you've noticed, there are many, many places for air leaks to exist, and it doesn't take much of a leak (or a few very minor...
