    am I correct then the only situation when flipping the toggle was ; you weren't sure what the valve did ?possibly there is nothing wrong with the system . the bags work properly ?
  2. mechohaulic
    total respect IS ALWAYS given. difference today is :: way way back when i said "i do"i consider myself "a doctor" .based on the fact : I had patience then . patients are gone NOW
  3. mechohaulic
    how is there a difference? have the bags inflated/ deflated ? if so I don't under stand the situation. unless you put an outside air supply to valve
  4. mechohaulic
    i would go back to disconnecting leveling valve arm from rear end and physically moving the arm ;; air movement will be heard /bags will change. if not do as JOJO stated remove the supply line to the valve.
  5. mechohaulic
    possibly bags are down now, depends on the style bag. some have only a short travel
  6. mechohaulic
    forgot when moving the arm make sure it's still connected to the valve NOT the rear end. might sound like "i'm not that stupid". not implying anyone is ; after 50 yrs of road calls it's the question that sound "stupid "make a difference when not being there to physically check an issue. a quick one;; call in liftgate doesn't work :: reply is the power cord plug in the trailer ? response ;; yes it is ;; OK 1 1/2 later arrive to find power cord UNPLUGGED back of tractor.. driver==you didn't ask about the other end!!
  7. mechohaulic
    since you located the leveling valve can also try disconnecting one end of the arm; usually the lower end . with ful air pressure and ALL body parts out of harms way,, just slightly move the arm up/ down. if there's air and valve is good the bags should raise/ lower.
  8. mechohaulic
    nothing happens flipping switch;; could be the arm to leveling valve broke/disconnected just hanging in "off"position. then trailer red line different issue.
  9. mechohaulic
    going back and forth on your other post about the air lines to trailer. a "94 is too new for me to know its air schematic. red button out shouldn't be air coming out trailer emergency line (red) during brake application. between that issue and air bags doing nothing with the switch ;first thought is someone has lines crossed.
  10. mechohaulic
    that suspension valve shouldn't be connected to trailer supply valve on the tractor . many trailers pick there supply off the red line for suspension

    last time i heard such a vague question asked ; i made the mistake of saying "i do" . what did you mean till death due us part.
  12. mechohaulic
    correction;; up/down can also be left/right movement referring to toggle switch.
  13. mechohaulic
    up/down toggle will normally exhaust a small amount of air which is the sound in the dash.
  14. mechohaulic
    so possibly the phrase "toggle switch up " just refers to flipping the switch up/ down; not a movement same as raising RPMs using a rapid toggling motion
  15. mechohaulic
    if possible; may I ask what switch cover would you be referring to?see a later post discussing trailer button leak . one in the same ?? the toggle switch part has this old man scratching his head.

    quick/cheap yoke holding tool is a ;; cut to length 4x4. cut a tad longer then yoke sitting horizontal to ground . you really want a fancy "tool" then 2 nails on opposite sides of the 4x4 to connect a short bungee cord over the yoke, it holds the yoke to the 4x4 tighter so you can put full effort in the impact gun . takes ALL the shock from traveling to the gear train. on a real budget then use a 2x4.

    903 with headers and DD blower must be quite the sounding unit. see they kept the emergency shut down unit on it. Brockway used the 903 a lot as well as other truck manufactures back in the day

    another one of the many positives of U-tube ; watching the drag racing of the '60's :: tasca ford/ stone ;woods and cooke/ dyno don and so many others. also listening to the sounds of someone shifting a quad.
  20. mechohaulic
    mid sixties to me were the best/ last yrs of the good looking cars. square lines . stangs/cougar / Cameros and the GTO.

    NOW I get the "cookie jar" ; it's an actual cookie jar for the D O G's. can see the dog bone s in side. old age and being Polack 'guess i'm slowing down. fact i was outside till dark using a flashlight to cut wall/ 2x6's : reframe a wall and install a 36x 48in window slowed 😁the brain cells also i guess
  22. mechohaulic
    OK thanks . thought possibly Your Grandpa had trucks .
  23. mechohaulic
    nice picture of the G T O. I have a "to do jar " similar. I take a board game dart and throw it at the jar. deal with the Wife is what ever "job " is stuck to the dart when i pull it from the plastic jar is the one that gets done.. so far she hasn't figured out why the ticket doesn't stay on the dart when removed from side of jar << LOL
