yes, the line going to the side of the compressor head. it may go to the intake manifold to get it air supply..

its funny how the current nominee for the supreme court is "Grilled" and there is only 8 more hours of questioning... but when Brett and Amy were nominated, it was longer and the questioning was abusive, Brett was called a racist and a sexual preditor, Amy was called a right wing religious kook and a racist, but her and her husband adopted 2 Hattian children.. so to me... if you are white,, no matter how great you are,,,, you are,,,, 'a racist'.. but of course this current lady, who may very well be 'qualified' is only here because she is black.. So who are the real 'racist's'? it's not me and my Republican friend's and many other people i know... It is simple.. it's our current Democrats.... it is truly sad to me... at a time where WE ALL need to be together, once again,,,, The Dem's want to make it Black and White..... Jojo

My girl want's a canary yellow 359... with bug eye headlights... well.... there goes my Superliner... and she just wants to drive it to the grocery store and to work.. She's back cutting hair again... Who is she??? jojo

my wife wont tell stories here.. too bad.. she kick's A$$... when I met her she was driving a Columbia day cab pulling a 3 bay hopper, hauling cement dust, or rice, or fly ash, she would drag those 5" hoses out and hook up and blow off... (That sounded kinda kinky) anyway, she could put her purse down and do it!!! just sayin' jojo

I love a DM... looks like a twin stick, X107 is my guess... I drove a couple of them for a little while.. I would be proud to own one.. jojo

I bet her Daddy would school us on that machine.. We all love the Cowboy in the movie... He was it! on the job. ok, time for me to stop crying, I cant see the F'n keyboard.... jojo

Mech, you are awesome... I just told my wife about what I know about you, from this site...( she drove for 34 years) her daddy ran a motor grader til he was 76 ( he started at 17,, and his boss man said it was 'time' he WAS a company man with his son's workin for the same company... and my beautiful wife as well.... I wasnt raised this way, but, I love these kind of people... I wish my wife would write some of her stories... "She's Tough" that was her Daddy's sayin all the time... he lives with God now, But I wont ever forget the Man... Jojo

you nailed it Bob.... jojo

can he use a Schwitzer S400 SO41? just curious... I see them on E-7's... I am not a guy that knows turbo specs.. so if you need to get technical, I will just watch and maybe learn something... jojo

cac leaks, top right corner is common. intake gaskets can fail, air compressor intake can fail, major exhaust manifold leaks... just to name a few,,, jojo

ok.. i understand better.. that is normal. when looking at the tops of the celenoids, do you see the little round pin sticking up out of the hole, ever so slightly? both should look that way. if not, the celenoid is weak. also when you jump power to them they should click pretty firmly,, you can come of the alternator with a wire and 2 alligator clips to make a tester.. in one of the pictures, there is a 90 degree fitting in the jake head,, that is part of the performance update that is NOT done to yours.. jojo

grab a 3/4" wrench and remove one of the celenoids.. there should be a green oring around it and a smaller white one, in the base, both are square cut o-rings.. replace those and test it again.. jojo

ok. the update was not done.. if oil is squirting out around the bottom of the celenoid, it sounds like they are loose and or the orings failed.. jojo

i wish i could see it... my other question, was about small braided oil lines going through the spacer to the top of the engine brake housing. any way.... oil will squirt from the top of the celenoids,, if it is coming out anywhere else, that will cause poor performance. if you have a leak, get the oring packs and replace them. jojo

how many times did you rev it up and let off? it may take a few tries, the real deal is when you drive it,, hopefully it will pump up with-in a 1/4 mile of engine breaking. those Jacobs engine brakes suck anyway.. there have been several updates, . do you have small steel braided oil lines going to the spacers?

they will squirt oil, you werent leaning over the engine while someone 'stabbed' the throttle, were you? jojo

good call JoeH... I also thought the accessory relay was sticking, but you have a good 'Q' jojo

same customer, he has 5 that he wants done, I tried to load a video of the last one 'running' but it was too big.. I finished 2, and the first one is mounted and pumping water on a dust control truck.. I also did the engine in the truck too,, so far all is good.. jojo

I have this little 'bugger' in my shop as well.. #3 in less than a year, John Deere 3179 diesel..

I love it Bob, cars today all look the same no matter the brand,, No chrome bumpers, no style,,, just 'cut cookies'... bring it,,, jojo

hell, Nitro had some cool sh!t going on, and Mrs MackPaul is a friggin cowboy out in the field, and I bet Vlad has a boat load of shop talk.. I know theres a bunch more, jojo

and Bob too.

All true Bob,,, My wife filled my ears tonight, "so I saw you riding around with your helper,, What did you guys get done today" well, i went to pick up parts for a customer, then worked in the shop, then took lunch break, went back to work in the shop, then because it was pouring rain, I took my helper home.. anyway, this IS shop talk.. jojo

Well, I did forget a tool that I would love to have,,, a rotating engine stand.. this is what I have right now, thanks to a BMT brother that let me keep it.. The rotator is $6000.00.. maybe later.. gosh almighty... jojo

did you you do the test at the plugs on the spacers? if you did the test, im leaning towards the relay, like Onyx said earlier.. I dont remember which one it is... jojo
