That axle tech link will be close, but not the same with your truck. Just so you know, you have air brakes, not "wet"(fluid) brakes!

Yes I put 24 volt warns on the front and rear of my truck.
Don't like being stuck.
Don't like to think about paying wrecker to get me out.

Im starting to think this was not such a good idea with respect to the cleaning necessary?Im not sure I have stuff large anough to even remove the wheels . Gonna see If i can get a local mechanic to show me the first time and maybe it wont seem so bad and i can get set up for those muddy weekends but im still hooked.

 

[obxairman]

Yes I do and speaking about air brakes I thought when a line broke the brakes size up. I have preasure on my gauge in the truck and broken line at the right rear wheel and a flat tire, shouldnt that have locked up? or is the brake system seperated from the braking system. Also should i plug the ctis system i see thats a common thing

 

[doghead]

Since you have rear flat, I'm guessing the line that broke is the CTIS line to that wheel, and not a brake line.

If it is a brake line and you still have brakes, I would ask are your brakes caged?

I think we all have to learn this at some point. I remember when I was 16, I just got my M38A1 Jeep running and the first thing I did was bury it in a mudhole. Took days to get the mud and algae out of all the nooks and crannies. Never again.
