Hey Phillip, we have exactly what you are looking for with the Towed Vehicle Reinstall Kit for the Demco Air Force One part # SM99226. This comes with everything you'd need to reinstall the Air Force One kit in your 2026 GMC Sierra 1500. Other than that you have everything else already so you'd be good. What coach are you towing with and how do you like your new truck?

But you haven’t told me what needs to be removed in order to do this. Besides reinstall kit, what do I need to remove from tow vehicle?

@PhillipW If you check out the part number # DM55MV you will see the parts that you'd need to remove from your first vehicle.

@PhillipW I just did this--moved the Air Force 1 from a 2014 Cr-V to my new Ford Maverick Hybrid. The main components you must remove are the piston/brake pedal assembly and, of course, the main unit that's under the hood. Assuming there were vacuum connections in the old vehicle, the vacuum lines need restored. The reinstall kit comes with all the air lines, vacuum lines, vacuum T connections and electrical wiring. It also comes with new car-side air connector and a new break away switch. You'll need to remove any remote indicator (or wireless indicator if that's what you had) for indicating with toad brakes are being applied.

Phillip, My suggustion is to remove everything attached to AirForceOne. Leave the old vehicle back in its original state. The new kit will give you directions on what is installed on the new vehicle.

Hey Michael, it actually sounds like the battery in your Wrangler is the issue. If it was holding a charge just fine when you first started towing and nothing has changed yet it's now dead when you stop that to me would indicate the battery is on…
