Well here's first time for me... I have done dozens of these and at times had to use a sledge hammer and a helper to remove the yoke.. But, never has this happened.. I had it in my Harbor Freight 20ton press, with pressure on it and i was heating the yoke with my torch.. and when the tone ring was able to spin I gave it 2 more pump's, and WHAM!!! I cant wait to tell my customer... jojo

replacing all the brake chambers is a good idea, maybe as you do it, perform the test that Glenn suggested, so that if you find the issue, you get the answer to the mystery, and the brakes have all new cans of equal quality.. good luck, Jojo

I am at a bit of a loss.. i dont know how , truck off or on has an effect, unless there is an electric over air switch.. Im sorry, it is also 9:30 PM here and I need to hit the sack.. I will check back tomorrow... jojo

oh hell, the small one is likely a pressure protection valve, and the other one should be the anti compounding valve. My guess is you have a bad maxi, if the plumbing is correct..

the second valve should be the service valve... the one that applies the brakes when you step on the pedal.. the first pic is the park brake valve... Did you do what Glenn asked, and remove a service line from each brake chamber until the leak stopped? you may have a backfeed through the maxi..

ok,,, disc brakes.. I guess thats why, no room for big chambers.. I didnt know the year/model of the truck... jojo

just curious,,,, why such small maxi's? why not 30/30's?

the brake valve is bad... it gets constant air pressure to it as long as there is air to be delivered.. the spring brakes dont have air pressure in the chamber until you push the brake release valve in... on the brake valve in the frame, there should be an air supply line, and a signal line ( brake release valve line) and 2 or 4 lines off the bottom to the rear chambers on the maxicans.. more pictures are always a good thing,.. jojo

So Roe-v-Wade, is overturned.. Ok.. well... the only people that are pissed off are those that want to make money off of abortion's, and those that use it as birth control.. There will always be a 'real' reason for an abortion, IE: saving the mothers life, especially if she already has a family of children, and need 's to be here taking care of them.. I really dont have a lot to say on this. However, I did see where they incorporated, 'Gay right's' and Racism, into this issue... well at leaste here in Charlotte, N.C. and of course all of this is being staged to try to destroy the republican vote this year and in 2024. ok, time for me to take a break... jojo

I found a used one on E-Bay.. $1,000,000.00

Christ Almighty!!! Glenn, That is B.S. But I believe you.. At my shop, I currently have a synchro job in a Metric Eaton... FRO16210C.. I have done dozens of these.. I told My customer that I am on the road building 3 E-7's. and dont know when I can get to it.. They dont want to take it to a shop.. I guess I need to step it up.. so I guess tomorrow, I pull the back box.. When i was at the last dealership.... no-one their knew how to do a synchro replacement in an Eaton, with the tranny in the truck... I actually had a boss man say,, 'you cant do that' I said,, "are you F'n kiding me?" ,, anyway 2 days in the shop, and it was, out on the road, hauling grain.. I still cant rap my head around, how few repair shop's there are.. jojo

oh hell thats too funny,, I saw your birthday and forgot to say...... Happy Birthday.. sorry bud,, jojo

Yep, My magic wand is on 'back order'.. No E.T.A. or notes on it... jojo

Well, no info on what caused the fuel in the oil. I inspected the cam while I was in there and the #1 exh. lobe has a chip in the lift.. So I am definately re-building this one too.. Be careful what you wish for.... I needed some work a couple weeks ago, and now I have 1 customer with 3 engines that need re-building.... An ASET-C, which I loaded pistons and liners into yesterday, waiting on the lifters.. An E-tech, and an E-7 V-Mac II.. I still have one of his ENDT 673's in my shop, and another 3 cyl. John Deere to build.. 🙄 Sorry I dont have an answer as to how the fuel got into the crankcase.. If I do find the reason, I will post it.. thanks guys, jojo

Sad but True, Mech.... I could never go back to a dealership.. Hell,, they dont want my kind anyway, Jojo

Ricky.. Do you have a red and yellow park brake buttons? if yu only have the yellow, you need a tractor protection valve for the truck. and maybe a new anti compounding valve in conjunction with the R-12 valves, in the frame.. There are a few way's to do it.. ... just curious... jojo

I love that one Joeh...

right side panel that says Granite..

gray engine?? No.. red engine Yes..

the injector bore looked good.. I was able to clean it up with ease.. #6 was running 50 degrees cooler than the other 5 and they were within 10 degrees of each other. As far as the lift pump goes, I can understand youre concern. I did rotate the pump and push and pull on the gear and try to move it sideways, sprayed with windex and not 1 bubble... When I got the heads off. the #6 liner was really shiny, no cross hatching left.. I didnt go back today because of other road calls to go to. I hope I find some cracks too.. yes, its a long shot. The owner, told me an hour ago, to rebuild it.... he's done messing around.. I WILL replace the lift pump!!!.. Thank you for your input, its always welcomed.. jojo

Dammit Man.... Any chance the drive shaft it NOT phased correctly? I went back and read the thread again, and I'm trying to think of any un-asked questions.. jojo

Well, today I pressure tested the fuel galleries and there was no 'leak down' . then I pressure tested the return ports in the heads, no (leak down).. I pulled the fuel lift pump off again and tested it too.. no leaks. I pulled the injectors just because,,,, and there was a little rust in the #6 injector bore, and that cylinder was also running 50 degrees cooler than the other 5. The owner told me today that the issue started shortly after his mechanic replaced the injectors due to heavy smoke coming out of the stack. So I pulled the heads, i will continue tomorrow. It's funny how they had 2 trucks and an excavator, get diesel in the oil, in a 2 month period.. Dumb luck I guess.. I welcome any thoughts/ opinion's/ and guidance... I am still scratching my head on this one.. Jojo

Hi Dave. I just told my wife your story, We both cried some, because we , ( Have never been there) but have known, and in my case (Had lost friends) .. We still ride just a little bit.. I really don't know what to say, other than, we are so glad you are 'Alive' I used to ride 'everywhere' , in all kinds of weather.. just a few days ago I took my sportster out for a run around to do some easy errands.. I get on that thing and I am at home, but I have to be more aware, and ready to 'crack' the throttle, to get away from a dumbass, and at times,,,, back off and change lanes when I can to get away from a cell phone driver, etc:.... I know that when I put my wife on the the back of her Tri-Glide, I do the best I can to be safe.. I don't carry her on my Softail Duece since we got the Trike. I would like to think we are safer on the Trike... However... are any of us 'Rider's' really safe any more?? Jojo

it is an ISO plug. it can be used for any single electric powered part of the trailer. It carries a lot of amps. lets say you are pulling a short dump trailer, it can power the vibrator under the bed. or at that height, maybe it powered a tarp motor for the trailer. My guess is there is a switch in the cab, that goes to a relay similar to a starter relay for a lawn tractor, somewhere near the batteries, and the big wire comes off the relay to the ISO plug. Of course there are a bunch of uses, some more guys will post on this.. jojo

You are exactly right M.C. !! They are putting fear into all of the weak minded people,, These sheep are a disgrace.. I really hope that 'Segregation' in Many forms comes back !! I would love to go to places that I want to go to without being force fed the progressive B.S. and equally, I want the progressives to have their own places to go to.. then we will get along,,, you go your way, and i'll go mine... no harm no foul...
