    well that is correct... they will not rise until tractor protection valve opens up to supply air to the other systems..... only the brakes get the air above 25 PSI... It is a safety feature in big trucks...

    I have also seen the filter screen inside the air input port on the leveling valve, blocked up with red dirt... I guess southern red dirt can travel throught the smallest places...

    there is an exh. port on the leveling valve

    the air switch takes air from the tank through a regulator in a pro set-up. then sends it to the leveling valve to the 'pilot' port.. the valve dumps the air for you, so you can hook or unhook. then flip the switch and suspension rises to a preset level..

    its all good Mech... he is new to this.... we'll get it for him... Keep your OLD brain handy..... He may need it...

    ok.... there is a leveling valve on the front drive axle.. make sure there is a supply of air to it. if not, let us know.. you can un hook the supply line after you reduce air pressure below 85 psi, then crank the truck and after 85-90 there should be air coming out of the line you un-hooked.. if not... the regulator at the tank is probably junk... also, remove the dash panel and see if the switch is an air switch or all electric.. post the results. jojo

    do you have air bags on the rear suspension?
  10. Joey Mack
    that is air suspension control.. it drops the air bags to hook/un-hook to a trailer...
  11. Joey Mack
    Mech, its a pretty vague question to me... I will wait for more info..
  12. Joey Mack
    is the switch for fifth wheel slide? What is it for, send a close up picture of the switch... some of these trailer switches require the trolley handle to be applied.. jojo

    Today is my wife's Birthday, and her sister brought Her 'Great Nephew" "Zander" to visit.. He's "Country" My wife Had a great day, and the young'n likes trucks too.... He also got along with my boy too, MACK..

    Im never offended.. we all have similar approaches, and take time to remind the person, posting the question.. "It take's a Village" He's lucky that he found BMT... Take care 'F'.... jojo

    E-7 Proved itself.. and so did the Series 60 12.7 .... I dont know other engines so i wont act like I do.. jojo
  18. Joey Mack
    OoooP's.. yeah I cant help myself... Bring Back The E-7 Mechanical..
  19. Joey Mack
    Best ??? E-7 Mechanical.... Million Mile Engine.... Changes??? Bring it Back... Here's a thought. It Moved loads like a pro, maybe a little too slow, (Poetry).. It also did it with low maintenance cost's. and it got 7+ MPG... Now a-day's,,, we have been brainwashed about saving the Whales, and NO smoke out of an exh. stack.. but... the G-Men said,,, Hell no,,, we cant have something that WORKS..... so now we have gov. exh. systems, that cost more money, and down time, so that Owner Operators have to juggle to stay a-float.. 'To be continued' 🍻

    I remember in the beginning of this post, talking about grounds and the ACC. relay, and such.. If you look back to page 1 you will see.. so.... now I suggest you test run the truck, and come back with a 'Status update'.. this way, we can stay closer to the issue rather than going out on a limb for ideas, Like The way that I did, after I read about other issues... There are many guys here that give their knowledge freely, and want to know that the help you received was good, and got you back on the road.. Keep on Keepin' on.... jojo

    this is a strange one.. if SAE bolts are used, that will be an issue.. the threads are 16mm metric.. the bolt grade is supposed to be 10.9
  22. Joey Mack
    yes,,, there should have been codes for the RPM/TDC sensor... (Flywheel sensor) . at first I was looking at electrical/electronic issue. then i learned there was a flywheel housing failure. so i went on a tangent. I am back on earth, and think it is a electrical/electronic.. may be time to check the wires from the sensor to the EECU.. With a Fluke DVOM.. may be broken up-stream or shorted out. these engines can run on one or the other sensor, not very well but will run...

    good idea about the shims.. here in the states we get trained to "Replace" but a "Mechanic" can re-use and Fix it !! I have a hard time, at times, explaining that you can, "Fix It!" jojo

    good deal Rubber Duck.. I have a Chevy 400 that i 'cam'd-up' sittin in a tote.. nothing crazy, just a 'Comp' .49 lift Thumper.. When it was in my 1Ton, I could tear up the road, but the granny gear 4spd, and 4.56 rear end, was not a good set-up.. I tried to build a hopped up work truck ,, No F'n way.. so any way... it's in a crate waiting for another Chevy... I aint crap in the Hot Rod world, But I love 'em... Jojo
  25. Joey Mack
    Just curious,,,, did you ever get it fixed or a line on a replacement?? jojo
