Implementing the system I mentioned in my previous post is relatively simple.
Assumptions: Your M35 does have the two glad hands on the rear, one being
the Emergency and one being the Service.
All you need is the relay valve and a spare air tank, another hose wt glad hand
, another air filter and the rest is plumbing.
Refer to TM 9-2330-247-14&P available off of Mildocs for a good description
of the parts and hookup.
The relay valve is probably going to be the hardest part to find unless you
have access to
a trailer bone yard.
