From looking at the diagram you posted, it will not apply air pressure to your air pack. #20 is the double-check "shuttle" valve NAPA part. Is there a reason you can't simply configure it as your diagram shows?
The intricate part about this is the air sent down the service brake trailer pipe needs to be able to bleed off at the same source it came from when released. This is what a double check valve does, it is not just simply two one-way check valves. It is actually a shuttle valve that lets air...
It is all about cool factor at the boat launch. Had to be hydraulic pick and drop, directly at the seawall.
Go OP! Post pics as you go so we can drool.
Correct. The clones are $69 brand new (not remanned), delivered with 1 year warranty off the internet. Not even worth my handling and I’m not into ripping people off. Cummins sells bracket for 8.3, 250 bracket best to weld additional ear onto it like few have done. Pulley is $18 new off eBay...
Have heard before oil cooler is common cause. Coolant is like acid to bearing coatings. Leaves them looking like pizza if sucked up by oil pump. Can’t see it until you pull them out, surface check.
I had this exact same situation, found it to be one of the brand new replacement hoses was sucking air at the crimp. New doesn’t mean good. New just means clean.
Pull both valve covers, and be sure the fuel control rack moves freely full travel. If not, the throttle will stick wide open because that is the position the governor defaults to when off (and trying to obtain idle speed). I had the rack stick on a 6-71 after only 3 years of storage indoors...
Check em’ all while you are there, hate to see more carnage pics 2 weeks from now. Your girlfriend was probably texting you undy pics right before you got to that bolt set, and you skipped over it when you put the phone down. I don’t thread bolts in all the way by hand anymore just for that...
Air brake truck should work, since the towed interface and hand brake valve are both air only?
If so, Simp just did an explanation on it, and I have since updated the post with the appropriate 2 way shuttle valve to do so as an add-on. Simplier than I thought once I got into it, once you...
Good morning.
I was asked to submit a help request for SS member infidelgotme. Since his last recorded log-in, he is now only receiving a white screen 503 error message when attempting to access the site, even as viewing (not logging in), indicating server unavailable. Has tried from his...
TNJ had the best current price on the stock replacements, $78ea, I just ordered 11 of them to rehab all of mine. Lathe and drill on standby, retainer plates already made. I'll probably get this done before the engine swap. Will post more as it goes, need to make the swampdonkey top-center nut...
