I need to re-attach the load sensor air brake valve on my M1088. Anyone have a picture of this mounted that I can use as a reference? Thank you in advance!

Just need a quick picture of how this brake load sensor is mounted. I took the 5th wheel off and am trying to recall where it was mounted. Thank you in advance!

Well I don’t have any 1088 info available, but this video shows it on a 1079. When mounted, the end of the lever arm on the load sensing proportioner should be directly above the bracket that the cable attaches to…

That would be correct…

@Reworked LMTV , I just saw this. I'm picking up some overtime today at work, but if you don’t have pictures by 7 tonight I’ll snag some pictures off my 1084 when I get back home.

@Reworked LMTV , here’s the pictures. The first three are from the back facing forward and the last is from the front looking back.

did a search for 1088 images etc. came across this video at 1:39 there in the rectangle spot that is sunlit, between the chassis rails, right side, you see what I think is the cable going up. Hope this helps.

Anytime, and if those don’t help much and you need any more or ones at any other angle just let me know.
We already chatted off-line. I don't have the valve in question. It may be the difference between an A0 and A1, or mine was deleted by someone...

@Ronmar just posted a picture from birds eye that might help conceptually. Its I think a 1079 though. Granted I think you got this figuredd out now and moved on.
Not sure from any of these pics where the cable from the arm attaches above to the bottom of x (x=bed, box, etc) though not sure that matters.. just as long as that cable is vertical?.

S&S or the military or both deleted that on later trucks - I assume the ABS make it irrelevant or possibly it interferes with it's operation. If it's not the ABS then perhaps there is some other magic that could be adapted to older trucks? I'm far from an air brake system specialist but may be worth discussing if for no other reason than to understand how and why it was deleted.
