Check the emergency stop arm and make sure it's all the way open. I know when I pull mine, I sometimes have to reset it manually on the ip.

Yes even if bobbed, the 5 tons fall into over 20k weight category and full airbrakes require class A or B. 5 tons are nice and I love my m818 but if I purchase another truck, it will be a deuce. Welcome to California by the way and it's good to see people out here gettin the green fever!
