Well, I just got back from a 200 mile road trip and I still think I have brake issues. When I tool around town, I don't seem to have any brake issues. Pedal is high, pedal feels good, air goes down when I use the brakes etc. Now, I head out onto the highway. As long as I don't use the...

I joined the OCMVCC for a great parade in Torrance CA. yesterday. I drove up from Temecula (100 miles each way). The truck ran well but still, as I drive long distances, the brake pedal gets higher and starts locking up the wheels...different thread!!! Anyway, the parade was fun, had some...

I have a M105A2 as well. One air line. Check to insure the handbrakes actually are releasing the pads...may have rusted cables and or pads that aren't releasing. Jack it up and remove the little brake pad inspection cover. Look to see if the pads are jambed against the drums. You should be...

update on my locking brakes problem So, here is where i am. I pulled the wheels and drums. The drums used to be painted...that burnt off (see pic below). The pads were pretty burnt so I sanded them to de-glaze them. I then re-adjusted the pads to .010" top and bottom. I know the T.M. says...

Congats to you both. It is too bad the wedding is so far away.

I have been working on my brakes ever since they locked up. Here is what I know so far. If the air pack fails, the pedal will be hard but not a lot of braking power (no air assist makes stopping alot harder). Take the square plug out the back of the airpack and see if brake fluid comes out...

In case you take a wrong turn...us Cali folks are here to help. :cookoo:

Yep...that's correct. I have this one on my truck. My only issues have been rust between the housing of the button and the steering column will hinder it's function. I have also had the pig tail get caught up and tear loose down by the steering box. Some one told me there is another button...

RE: deuce brakes locking up Here is an update on my issues... I started by flushing my entire hydrolic brake system. I started with the tried and true method of "pump the pedal, hold, bleed, pump the pedal blah blah blah" Well, after about 30 minutes of that S%$T, I hooked up WillWagners weed...

I re-painted my truck with the latest type II CARC. I then bought a couple of cans of CARC substitute from RAPCO. I use it for minor touchup...undercarriage etc...anyway I'm happy with the color match.

I think he is talking about the recessed cargo tie downs that require a hole cut in the side of the bed.

RE: Re: RE: Fontana trip I got myself a like-new 3 color insulated cab top, a pintle reciever, a deuce tire iron, 2 palcon shelves, a lower radiator rock guard, a canvas tool bag...next week I'm picking up a PTO with all cab linkages. I was gonna get a crank down landing gear for my trailer...

WOW! Now that is a very detailed expanation...thanks for the details. I'm gonna climb under this morning and check it out.

I'm not sure about the frame stamp on the M51 but I had a data plate I couldn't read. I took the data plate off and from the back, I could make out the stamping perfectly...give it a try.

Are the "allen" plug and the square plug on the back of the air pack one and the same? Sorry for the extra questions. Please see the following pics.

I'm in. I really need a good taco fix :P

I see that TM 9-2320-209-34-2-1 chapter 12 details the rebuilding of the hydro pack. But I was really looking for something that details how it works. It looks like when you push the pedal, fluid is pushed into the front end of the hydro pack and opens a mechanical valve which lets air into...

RE: Thanks for the info Does anyone know the TM that details the brake system? I'm still trying to figure out exactly how the air over hydro works.

Re: RE: Gear oil leak Ditto. OPCOM'S write up in in the tech article section.

RE: Thanks for the info I just drove 125 miles out to 29 palms for a camp out and the deuce brakes locked up on me as well. I have noticed when I drive long distances, the brake pedal gets higher and higher. This time the brakes locked up and I had me some locked up, smokey, toasty brakes. I...
