    Source for 5 ton wheel cylinders

    I just bought one for my M818. Antelope Valley truck parts had them for $38.00. O.D. iron was a couple bucks cheaper but I figured Cali would be cheaper shipping$$$. The fronts are 1 3/4" and the rears are 2". You can use 2" on front and rear if you want.

    hard "THUMP" sound. I did not land out front. the mule kept forward momentum and came to a hault as the front corner dipped down from my weight.

    Looking for wiring diagram/schematic

    This might be a silly question so please don't take offense...Is the truck running when you check the brake lights? If not, the lights don't work until the air is built up.

    Diagnosing Brakes/Air Pack Problem??

    agreed with Heavysteven. I'd do a power bleed and open up the farthest rear tire and keep filling until it quits spitting. You'd be surprised how much fluid it takes to fill all the lines.
