what popped in my head was a bad clutch disc, bearing in the front of the tranny, but I dont like to start out big and work my way down to a simple issue.. the issue happens in a specific range, under a light load. so then I thought something is loose and only vibrates at a certain RPM or strain.. I really enjoy posting here, but sometimes, I get caught up in it, and go on a tangent. I'm still impressed by how many people there are here, that are willing to help.. Jojo

👍 pic,s ? jojo

me? Onyx....

I would think it would be,,, ' since he became President' because there are no employee's here to get hurt... 🍻 jojo

I have a separate P.C. for that.. my wife put a anti virus on this one, and like many other vaccines, my P.C. got the bug.. I will re-start it later. it's working again.. This clattering issue is one that I wish I was there to see it happen... so many things could be the cause. is the hood vent and air control loose and rattling? or something else loose and vibrating? who know's? hopefully not a major issue.. jojo

they used a single frame rail that is thicker. i believe its between 5/16" and 3/8".. 9mm, i think.. i know the later frames were thicker, jojo

thanks, im having a little trouble with my P.C. not able to go back and read again. my issue is for another web site, jojo
-
i was thinking about taking the belts off, and running it to see if the noise is still there. unless it only does it when driving? sorry if i missed something here.. jojo

good one Mech... I have a 3/8" car brake line that i use.. it works too.. simple, cheap, and these tools work.. I was close on the crankshaft end play... It's .004"-.011"... the first pic is E-6 2 valve, the second is E-6 4 valve..jojo
-
I will look for the crank end play spec. I think its .004"-.012"... jojo
-
Mech... you are right...
-
pull the valve covers and look for really sloppy rocker arm's... do you know how to rotate this engine to check each cyl. ? no offense here, just need to know.. jojo
-
for sure on the PTO's.. There could be one staying engaged or just f'd up.. for sure.. i would expect a pto noise to increase as you rev up or drive, ... glad to see you on this one 'Mech' jojo
-
I guess i was thinking a bout a wobbling input shaft when running. and I have seen many broken throughout bearings.. and input bearings rotating like a small football.. however, I can alway's use a little education.. it's tough to diagnose on the phone... so-to speak... jojo
-
I understand the budget.... I'm afraid you may have to come off the hip for heads.. I wish I had more knowledge, on this. I have always been able to find heads based on application. I can only say that PAI is the best bet, because there is a good chance that 'take off' heads need work or are cracked. between the valve seats.. I hope someone posts a better post than mine. jojo

ok. can you sneak a thin bar into the tranny inspection hole and see if you can move the input shaft, side to side.. have someone hold the clutch 1/2 way down, use the bar to see if the input shaft is sloppy.. heck look at the throughout bearing for excessive wear or possibly see a ring spinning on the shaft between the throughout bearing and the clutch brake, if it's still there,, I think you have a spring loaded clutch brake in that old gurl... Jojo

I have had the auto power divider send a sound through the drive shaft, imitating a tranny issue. could this be what you hear? (assuming you have an auto power divider)? jojo

ok.. just curious, jojo -
Now its tax season, and I have to study the new laws ( i mean rules for taxpayers).. Im curious about the new tax credit that was raised from around $16,000.00 too about $21,000.00 for single non- parents. It may be a good idea, I wont know until i read the rule book.. but really, my thoughts are? who's going to pay taxes, when we, who pay taxes, will be forced to use govt. programs because we have been taxed right out of normal living. ? I dont know, having a moment I guess.... jojo

Jeff, one thing i'm still not clear on... when all the lines are hooked up, and a little air pressure is present at the switch... have you tried to move the truck, to see if the brakes are dragging. or even just un-hook the service lines on the brake chambers to see if pressure is present? (yellow button pushed in) ? jojo -

Im just curious how air pressure is present at the air switch, turning the brake lights on.. I wonder if he unhooks each brake valve to find the one that is back feeding air? what do you think, D-Day ? -

mabey pull a line , one at a time from the treadle valve to find which line is feeding the switch port. pul a line, if its not it, hook it back up, and go to the next one.. is the trolly brake valve defective? im sorry but im at a bit of a loss. it would be better if I could see the issue as it happens... jojo -
That's what I'm talking about..... jojo
