as far as EUP issues, are you getting any 8-? codes?? the big ground bolt in front of the starter is crucial.. it needs to be clean and tight.. Please do not use ether to start the engine.. Have you done any fuel system repairs? Have you tried to re-prime the fuel lines by loosening them at the head and pumping the hand pump to relieve the air? I'm just spewing now... I want to help you as do many others here. we need more info, try to keep it on point and accurate.. There are soooo many smart guys here, it would blow your mind.. jojo

Hey MackB, that hand full of groceries, here in Salisbury N.C. is a 'Crackheads ' meal..

what is the condition of the "Power Dist. Box" next to the steering column? I think fuse 40 is the EECM.. 3rd row from the left half way down, 25 or 30 amp's.. a lot of times the legend inside the cover, get's water damage and is hard to read.. jojo

ok,, I have been posting on a few topics, so I get a little lost... Did you check the sensor wires at the flywheel sensor.. RPM/TDC.?? Do you know where all the grounds are? and did you check them? The big one on the left side of the block in front of the starter will be a problem if it comes loose.. It is probably the most important ground.. If you have access to the 9-2 code flow chart, it will guide you through, checking the grounds... I/We have posted this many times here.. its in the search bar.... (9-2 code)... i use this trouble shooter to solve more than just "Power re-set Without the Key" jojo

So the Biden clan has attacked the U.S. again... Only thing is, it will take 5+ years to see his accomplishment.. We were forced to weaken our immune systems by wearing masks and gloves and shields and using hand sanitizer every minute of the day..... Well..... we now have a country full of folks with weakened immune systems, who will get sick from what would have been just a cold or an allergy healed by O.T.C. med's... The next thing will be law suits against drug makers/ Trump/ and those that resisted the Law of our King.. BTW, My 'Tin Foil Hat' fits just fine... I said to my wife 18 months ago, that The King is build a weak society, using Covid as the weapon... and what is sad to me, really sad!!! is that our children are getting sick, because of power hungry A-Hole's.... Ok, once again, i got mad and de-railed.. God Bless AMERICA !! jojo

Yeah, I don't recall those caps.. maybe I just forgot.. but the older E-Techs had smaller welch plugs, 13/16" if I remember right...

Yeah we used to 'rod' them out with a piece of mig wire... There was always 2 guys that would argue over doing that.. "Yes you can!!! "No you don't"! Patience and a gentle touch gets it done.. it could take an hour to do one... 🥱

I was just looking at the pics of the rear end, again... It sure is awefully dry.. there should be oil present and a puddle.. did they put any oil back in before the misshap? Or did they pressure wash the evidence away before taking a picture.. ?

So what is the oil press, 'hot' at idle and at 1400 rpm... ? Jojo

Well, since it is an ASET,. There won't be any plugs,,. Big hex caps instead..

just curious Brocky... When did schneider use those engines? I would be interested in finding pictures of the trucks.. jojo

Hey Onyx... "Wrong" should not be in your vocabulary.... just sayin'...

It is splash lubed.. proper oil fill technique is,, Power divider first, about a pint, then the side cover plug for the top reduction, then the rear plug that is missing, to fill the bowl.. then as Onyx said,, regular oil level checks are done at the rear plug in the banjo housing. the oil is delivered throughout the carrier by splash and a series of trough's that direct oil to the bearings, the spur shaft housing on top has ports that maintain the oil level in the top reduction. and the power divider in this case has ports that do the same. The bull gear dips oil from the bowl and brings it to the top reduction, notice the spiral on the thru-shaft... it carries oil the the power divider through the thru-shaft tube... then the oil in the power divider spills over into the top reduction as it is filled/circulated... I wrote all this, just in case they try to tell you a story of how it gets lubed.. Good luck with your claim.. jojo

Some really Cool Charlotte history... Next time I see one I will know where it was born and some of how it came about.. Thanks O.D.

I always felt that way when I used to transport Post Office Macks from Portland M.E. to Portsmouth New Hampster... Even topped out at 55mph. I thought I would be on my nose if I had to slam on the binders... jojo

Well, the Boys helped me sand and paint my rims and spacer's today.. It looks good for a 74 year old truck.. even thought the metal is pitted a little, and the best part is.... My juice brakes work. jojo

Good deal D.C.W. Can I get Opti-lube at NAPA? I have a diesel fork lift that could you a little love. It Has been my best employee for the last 12 years... Its full mechanical... jojo

No sir.. No more trucking for me.. I bet there are a bunch of guys in P.A. that would buy it..... jojo

yes. and I would also check the sensor for the flywheel. Typically they will start and run on one or the other... jojo

That's "Mack".. he is 4 years old.. He loves me more than my wife..

I pulled the 400 out after 2 years... It was too much.. I put the 350 back in, but i put the stock 400 cam in the 350 with new lifters.. it runs great and pulls good.. I use it locally.. I took the turbo 350 tranny out years ago, and put pedals and a saginaw granny gear 4 spd,.. I had the 400 with the 4 spd. and could burn the dual's with ease, just couldnt drive it like a work truck.. and in the rain, with that 400 I could spin every gear, which meant I could,,, wreck...

Hell yeah... When I put the hopped 400 in my "Old Blue" I called it a 4442... 400/4BBL//4spd/dual exh. that F'r was tough, and turned a lot of heads...

I keep it full of 'cookies'.. Damn Dog's.....

I wish I had one,, '67 I believe.. The cookie jar is an important tool in my shop.. When my boy's wont let me work, I toss 2 cookies out of the shop and get a few minutes of free time.. That last statement was Bullsh!t... they come right back for more cookies.. who am I kidding????

the Halo test is right.. and you are right Onyx... For me, this doesnt pass the 'smell test'... I think more info is needed.. there is no way 11 gal. of oil is colored by a quart of steering fluid.. If I am wrong..... well ok..
