1 Ton Motorhome ? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Anyone ever seen these? Know how they function?

**special-K** · 02-25-2014, 06:45 PM

Heck no. Doesn't ring bell. I think I see what it does. hmm

**uncle** · 02-25-2014, 06:58 PM

Think I do too but curious if any use on other 1 ton application. I guess sway lok kinda gives it away.

**john** · 02-25-2014, 07:02 PM

Are the brake
lines hooked up to it? I've seen trucks with a brake bias valve hooked with a rod link to adjust bias to load requirement. This could be an after market thingy.

Never mind, finally saw swaylok. But I see no part like this on the website???

That is the anti rear rotational bi-valve. Realy rare part and no truck should be without one.

That is a very interesting thingamajig there.
Just guessing, but maybe it acts like a sway bar and reduces body roll oscillations. maybe and active system rather than a passive bar????????

**uncle** · 02-25-2014, 09:23 PM

Think I found a guy that might have the answer.

**uncle** · 02-26-2014, 07:01 PM

Anybody?

Gumby · 02-26-2014, 07:06 PM

do a patent search ? had to be registered at some point, typical business practice...

Are there two?
My 72 motorhome has what look like shocks with a hydraulic line that runs from one to the other.

sway is weight transfer from side to side as the springs store and release energy, if that ram pulls up in a sorts on the axle compressing things more, it should stop the sway as it can't unload energy back n fourth.......
