Didn't that 'millenium' truck thing with all the lights have a dual/split system on it...and pics with the write up?

i have this manual: SMARPI 9-2320-209-14&P SPLIT AIR-HYDRAULIC BRAKE SYSTEM (MODIFIED M44A2 2 1/2 TON SERIES TRUCK)

if anyone would like a copy, drop me a line. it tells how to rig the daul system and parts needed.

if anyone can tell me how create a PDF file, i'll didgitize it i'm just not smart with acrobat.

Id sure be interested in a copy too. :yeah:

Tom, it sure did. I have some of the emails around here when I was grilling Tom Bauer about the project. It was set up similar to a C-60 Chevy IIRC. I gotta see what I've got here.

Not to give another monkey a wrench here but has anyone ever considered a hydroboost split system? I know it's slim as Multifuel guys don't have the accessories needed, but I've got a pump on my CAT that I could use for that or at least mount an H-boost pump in it's place. I wouldn't think that running pressure to inlet, then outlet pressure to inlet pressure of the next, then outlet back to pump return would be that difficult. Usually the pressure outlet goes to the steering gear but what the hey...you know?

And another. I'll put it up on my web server and post a link in this thread when I get it.

Okay, add me to the list too PLEASE

Many thanks Marcus. I've been scouring the countryside for a copy.

Hey Guys, Finally rigistered. I'd like a copy too. Something I dont understand is why they would split the whole system including the master cylinder and put on a common fluid reservoir??? Correct me if Im wrong, it spings a leak and drains the whole system.

Angus, it has been uploaded to the TM section, go check it out. Also add your location to your profile. use the FAQ's on the left for specific instructions on doing so.

I know this thread is old, but did anyone ever used a M105 brake for the rear axle as the first poster mentioned?

 

[jatonka]

I have an M108 Light crane that has a military upgrade on the brake system, t uses 2 trailer air pack/master cylinder units and a split brake line system for front and rear. Air packs are actuated by a suspended air brake pedal/valve out of a 900 series. This truck will put you into the windshield if you push too hard on the pedal. There were 2 of these built at Romulus Army Depot, the other one is history.

 

[cjtroutt]

I want one to.

Did you ever get an answer to your question?

Also ... I would like to read the above referenced manual.

The TM section is down ... any idea where else I might download a copy?

I have one idea about using the brake system off of a M105 trailer to work one axle on the truck. Separate the rear tandem and run it off a M105 (or commercial) air actuated hyd master cylinder. This can be controlled off of the trailer air supply line. Then if you loose brakes on the front two axles, you will still have the park brake and the rear tandem.

This is an interesting idea, especially for somebody who has purchased a trailer to bob a Deuce.

It would be worthwhile to know is any of the brake components on the M 105 trailer are the same as those found on the Deuce. Like the diameters of the master and wheel cylinders


This would seem to be a good place to start.
