Who is the 1 with the long finger nails ?? Lol
It was the first day for me in the dirt w/ the M916 today. I had not tested
the front axle so I set myself up so if it did not work I would
not be stuck and started testing and IT DID NOT WORK. A
After dinkin' around w/ things and listening and feeling the T/C it
finally dawned on me why it was not working! During reset
they PLUMBED THE ACTUATOR AIR LINES BACKWARDS, Arggh! s
So when ENAGGED it was actually DISENGAGED.
I had read the TM and I knew the InterLock switch was supposed
to be in the center and it always was so I was NOT driving thet
ruck in 6x6 on the road.
Once I figured out what was going on I was able to see what it
would do and I was VERY Impressed w/ that monster's capabilities,
VERY Impressed.
Interesting my line to the quad lock was plumbed backwards. My front axle would engage but not quad lock.... I had to swap the lines to get it all to work and I was very impressed as well.

Where did you find the plate that's supposed to be on your truck?
That does look like a 915/A1 plate. Also, the "unlock and return" part is important. It has to go back to the middle position to unlock.
Mine would engage the front axle but not both rears. (opposite of your problem) I swapped the two lines on the t case to get the t line in the right place but i also had to swap them at the valve in the dash to make mine work.
Sounds like you got it figured out and your fix will be easier than mine. You will be happy with the results..
There are two air lines for the T/C Air Valve.
Does anyone know how that valve operates?
Is it;
PRESSURIZE THE FRONT SIDE TO ENGAGE
When the red line has air to it it will engage, looking at your diagram its the front of TC actuator.
Here is the post Redstroke did with his block heater install .Everything I saw there was block heaters. You can get a small 1 and modify 1 of you block off plates to mount it to. Someone on here just did 1 I'll see if I can find it.
