Well in the end it is just a hub and wheel. The wheel of course needs the one larger lug hole to fit over the hollow air wheel stud to be mounted. Beyond that a Schrader valve core in the wheel stem to hold the air in the tire?
THe larger one with the single wire connector is the gauge sender.
The smaller 15PSI switch is metal and plastic should have the name "Nason" on a sticker. it has a 2 wire connector(one to ground, one up to the dash)...
On the A0/early A1, There is a gauge sending unit for the gauge and a switch that controls the idiot light and alternator @15PSI.
the A1R uses bussed gauges that mostly display ECU sensor data...
On the older electric gauges, Jumping around could be a loose connection. All of these gauges are...
Yea, thats the radio power cable.
the single solenoids are modular so you can stack as many as you want together. I got another one for an air horn but want to build a new base before I fit that one to the group…
The new one i show in the video will NOT stack with the old ones on the truck, but they do stack with each other. Automation direct sells the stack kit(hardware and an o-ring) listed under accessories when you look up the valve, ~$3. I Just stacked a new solenoid onto the one i showed in the...
Hmmm. So when you turn off the ignition sw(or the ECU calls for fan @205F), you should get a woosh from under the passenger dash as the fan solenoid valve de-energizes and releases the fan clutch air and locks up the fan clutch. If this isn’t happening with power off, and the fan clutch only...
If this is an A0 truck, I suspect your air tanks are not plumbed properly. Every one I have encountered so far has been wrong. They fixed it on the A1 trucks.
The wet tank is supposed to be inline after the air dryer to act as another dryer/filter stage like its name implies. In order for...
Yea either replace the dryer, or at the very least clean and service your old style dryer. I did a youtube vid on servicing the old style dryer. Search “rronmar” on youtube to find my vids.
The principal of coalescing hasn't changed in centuries and the old style dryer actually has a lot...
These were the only thing I came across that were off the shelf, in a comparable/appropriate length and at least implied they were in an appropriate weight class. The monroe commercial website(monroeheavyduty.com) said these were for class 7-8. They are also the longest they make:)
Class 7...
The 90 deg BSPP4-JIC4 adapters make it a pretty compact package. I think it is narrower than the mount tabs, even with the flow control mounted on one side…
found my BSPP leak:) ever miss the old oil filter seal stuck to the filter boss and put on a new filter and seal on top of it:) one of...
I used the included gasket.
in place of the existing hand pump… Hmmm… Well the existing hand pump is sealed, and the way the valving in the control valve works, it will send all the fluid back toward the hand pump until it develops enough pressure in the sealed reservoir to overcome a 5psi...
I havn’t had an issue with any of the JIC-4s used on the hydraulics yet, and they are a common use component… maybe at larger sizes but i think at the -4 size, it is a case of the difference making no difference when it comes to holding the 37deg sealing faces together.
the only hydraulic...
3000 PSI gauge, 1/4NPT female to JIC-4 male adapter and a JIC4 fem-JIC4fem swivel fitting, and you can connect to most things on the truck. About $30 at Surpluscenter.com? I just ordered some a week or so back for another project...
Yea they probably won't dump with a regulated air supply making up air. The reason they dump with the controller is that it closes control and only gives a brief shot of air to open the wheel valves and then it looks to measure tire pressure. Of course the leak creates unstable pressure and...
