Yep, older style

 

[Boatcarpenter]

Yep, older style, and some say better than the new style.

Folks, forgive my ignorance but isn't that the newer style? Wait, it is the newer style. The older ones were the long ones with the studs at the end of the air cannister. I've not found a source for rebuild kits for these. I do have one on the M108A2. BTW, Mark, I have recieved your air pack and will try to get it done this week.

Yep, I am going to have to take sides with Kenny. Definitely the new style.

Left to Right: 5 ton, Old deuce, new deuce

 

[emmado22]

Ok, so mine is a new style.. Are the Old style rebuild kits compatible with the new style packs?

 

[Junkyard Wars Crusher]

Mark,
There is a chance that a part or two might interchange, but I would assume a whole different kit is needed.

Here's another - (slightly different view)

 

[emmado22]

I'll crack this one open and see how it looks inside...

Thanks!

 

[Junkyard Wars Crusher]

One more. New style on top.

 

[devilman96]

yep... SOmetimes I show my ignorance... Ok newer style... Sorry!!!!

I do know that both take the same rebuild kit, I have both styles and have gone through both of them.

So, the black painted one in the above pic WILL bolt up to the mount for the one on the bottom?

 

[Recovry4x4]

Yep, bolts right into place!

 

[Boatcarpenter]

OK, I get confused once in a while about those dang airpacks also. Have one of each and both have been in use on my truck so I do know they fit.

Don't forget the OHT

 

[Recovry4x4]

Now that RAM brings up the point of OHT, the shorter pack doesn't have a plug to feed it, you have to remove the j shaped air line to put it in.

 

[doghead]

OHT ?

 

[Recovry4x4]

Pneumatic lube. It's use is essential to long air pack life. IIRC, 4 oz in the air cannister every so often. There is a PS article on it.

 

[JDToumanian]

What kind of pneumatic lube? Air tool oil? What about Break-Free CLP?

 

[Recovry4x4]

OHT is whats recommended. I use air tool oil with decent results.
