I had on my steering wheel post a lever that says Hi/Lo?
I believe it must have been for some kind of brake change for pulling a trailer?
I want to remove it, while I'm rewiring the truck. The line for it taps into the brake line.

Is there anything special that I need to understand about this? Can I just remove it? What is the best way to remove it?

Thanx.

 

more pic of the braking system. You can see where the High/Lo taps into the brake line. It appears to have one air reservoir and one brake chamber (air brakes??)??

I know very little about brakes. But do want to get the High/Lo device removed.

 

Should be able to remove an plug at the junction. Or, instead of plugging, use a coupler.

 

The "Hi-Lo" device permits the manual (lever) or automatic (foot brake) operation of trailer electric brakes. This is an old system which has since been replaced by electronic controllers many years ago. I would remove it altogether and set it aside. You can replace the tee where it taps into the brake line with a double female coupler designed for brake service.
Ok, you do not have any kind of air brakes on this truck. F-8 only for that year.

 

well I don't think I have air brakes, and it's a f-6. So I hope I'm ok in just capping it off. Thanx.
