can the air over hydraulic be deleted ???

[hounddog1983]

we have a m35 bobbed with a single circuit brake setup. Can we delete the air over hydraulics and go pull hydraulic?

The brakes are hydraulic with air assist, not air over hydraulic. There are brake boosters using power steering pressure if that is of interest.

Just saying I feel let down! After reading 11 full pages of this thread I was thinking I was going to be reading here in the end how the end product worked and a list of parts for us all to benefit! LOL, However I did find a ton of info I am very grateful for! Thanks all. This month I will...

i was hoping there was a different route without having to add power steering to get the better brakes. thanks for the info and help
time you addup the brake up upgrade and power steering id be better off putting the $$ towards a 5 ton which is the way im thinking
just perfer the multifuel parts prices way better than the cummins.
thanks again

Straight hydraulics is not a good idea. The thing is hard to stop using brakes. Saw a few change over to air brakes. Need to know what your doing there.

What is wrong with the original air system ? What size tires do you have ?

So the truck is bobbed with 395/85r20 on it now. I was actually thinking going with 9.00-20 with duals in the rear. But I was trying to upgrade the brakes due to the single circuit issue-if u lose one u lose all brakes
