Reminds me of MERDC style. I think there was something like 9 different camo patterns in that system.Reminds me of the old 'chocolate chips' desert cammies!
Do you have the heated ones?We have them on one of our fire trucks and they work just fine. They operate by using the slight pressure differential between the air system being full and when brakes are applied to open and expel water and junk. I had manual drains and they worked ok, but after the second time both cables broke I decided to switch! Install is super simple...unscrew old, hand-screw new into bottom of tank and tighten...done.
I read some where that some models had a filter that needs to be removed per the manufacturer I think its earlier modelsi've only heard mine trigger once in a couple hundred miles, possible others occurred underway when noise levels are too high, never been able to pump the brakes and get em to pop, even after pumping the brakes down to 60#, i think they need to have the non compressable water in the chamber when the pressure change happens to trigger a blow
No. Dont drive it in the winter.Do you have the heated ones?
Almost. It's the MASSTERS paint colors from 1974 Europe.Reminds me of the old 'chocolate chips' desert cammies!
with the AD9 air dryer installed on the deuce, you can wire the 24vdc heater into the ignition/power switch. then turn the switch on for a minute before starting the truck.I had a commercial truck with an air dryer which was fortunately fitted with an electric heater. If it is above freezing at the end of the day, water will collect in the ejector valve and freeze it open. The solution is the start the truck so the heater works, melts the ice and allow the valve to close. I didn't want to heat it with a torch out of fear of melting any plastic or rubber components in the valve.
Am curious about how many cubic feet of water is that in the bed liner at 64 lbs per.It was super hot here yesterday in NJ. So I made the back of the truck in to a mini pool

Lets do some mathAm curious about how many cubic feet of water is that in the bed liner at 64 lbs per.
CONCLUSION:Lets do some math
44" * 87" = 12,528 square inches and lets say the water was 16" deep 12,528" * 16" = 200,448 cubic inches
12" * 12" * 12" = 1728cuin = 1cuft = 7.48 gallons = 8.34 pounds of water
200,448 / 1728 = 116 cuft of water
116 * 7.48 = 867.68 gallons
867.68 * 8.43 = 7,314.5lbs of water
Might need to double-check some figures:Lets do some math
44" * 87" = 12,528 square inches and lets say the water was 16" deep 12,528" * 16" = 200,448 cubic inches
