Nice!
I don't think that's a valve. It looks like the end of a caging bolt in one of the cage bolt holders. I am certain someone will chime in to laugh at me or confirm.Moved the truck after sitting a while the other day, and noticed a lot of hissing from the rear once the parking brake is off. Most results here on the forum seem to point to a bad diaphragm in the chamber. Air is coming almost entirely from the valve in the attached pic, with some noticeable around the sides of the chamber as well. Just wanted to see if someone could confirm this, or had any other ideas before I dig into it.
True, poor taxonomy on my part, but definitely the point on the housing where the most air was coming out. Couldn't find any details on the internal layout beyond the spring/plunger mechanism. Could just be enough air coming from the housing that it feels like the source is there, may need to check again.I don't think that's a valve.

Good point there.Check your vents, they may be plugged with bee nests or whatever.
.Good point there.
Honeybees take the rap for what are usually wasps of some kind (yellowjackets and paper wasps).
No big deal, of course, but I used to keep bees (only 5-6 hives), and that's where I learned more about all these little peoples!
Hope you get your problem solved, themeec.
That's it. The End

On a side note, decided to give my dog the space he deserves and popped out the gunners seat. Lots of room once that thing is out! Should have plenty to create him a nice command post in the middle there.

I went with leather sprinter seats from the auction site. Found a guy to sell 3 shipped for $750. Brand new take outs from a handicap conversionBeen batting around the idea of putting some new seats in the truck, and as luck would have it, friend of mine started a new gig with a supply company that gives him some pretty good purchasing perks. Anyone have any experience with seats by the following manufacturers, that have worked well with your LMTV?
- Cobra
- Recaro
- Corbeau
- Smittybilt
- Summit
Yeah, I believe I remember a post where I guy got a couple seats out of Honda Civic SI for dirt cheap from the salvage yard that worked nicely. I figured, what the hell though, if I can get brand-new ones for cheap, might as well go for it!I went with leather sprinter seats from the auction site. Found a guy to sell 3 shipped for $750.
