Any updates on cab swap project??
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
Still working on getting the brakes fixed. I have to be able to drive the truck over to another shop with a crane before I can really make any progress on the cab.
If you saw the auction pics, you may have noticed the rear relay valve was completely disconnected. I took it and the anti-compounding valve off last week and ordered rebuild kits for them. Got the rebuild kits today ad well as the unloader kit I had ordered. Was able to get the new unloader pistons installed and both valves rebuilt today.
The truck is also missing two airlines that connect to the drivers side middle tire. I believe these are supply lines for the service brakes, but I'm not entirely sure. I had been having a **** of a time finding the air system schematic since its not searchable in the PDFs I have. Finally found it late today
My plan tomorrow is to get some lines made. Hook everything back to stock specs and then see if there are still any leaks. Am I correct in thinking I could use an external air compressor fed through the front emergency glad hand to pressurize the system sans engine? I feel like it will be way easier to hear any leaks this way.
Your friends truck isn’t in the area?I'm still trying to figure out which line is which. The schematic diagram only shows two connections to each rear brake chamber, but there are 3 in real life. Can someone shed some light?
