  1. How about removing the service line on the bad chamber and pressing the brake pedal to see if a strong rush if air comes out..
  2. 'R' cabs have the treadal valve in the floor, right where crap from your boots can get in there and jam things up.. it's odd how only 1 brake is not working.. is the clevis pin rusted solid? Did you have it off the slack adjuster, or did you just screw the camber on to the clevis while it was still attached..? Very strange....
  3. I would if I still ran my service truck.. I have a cushy city job now... I am currently waiting an hour and a half for the garage to come jump start our crane, because I am not allowed to put jumper cables on it.. I'm going nuts, I used to hustle and get trucks back in the road in short time..
  4. How about a knot in the hose created during the repair??
  5. 1997?? i bet the new cab is older, and V-Mac II... your wrecked one may be V-Mac III.. does the engine have 6 small fuel pumps instead of an in-line pump?
  6. air the lines switched? the chambers are not isolated on the service side. one valve should be sending service air to the service side of all of the brake chambers..
  7. This Idea is one that I have had for a while.. When JB's, Klan, talk, like they care about border security and the negative things that enter our country,,, One way to find ''Illegals'' is to come to Charlotte N.C. when there is a Soccer game at bank of ''America'' Stadium, and check I..D's ?? I bet if ''ICE'' or ''INS'' had vans parked around the stadium before the gates opened,,, there would be only about 1000 people (Americans) entering a 60,000 seat arena.. Any and all thoughts are welcomed..
  8. diss regard the kit number I posted.. It is NOT for power leash... power leash valve adjust is a different procedure than Jacobs.... are you familiar with that process?
  9. Looks airy to me.. I bet inside the tanks looks like beer suds...
  10. The reset screw part number is 215SB321..
  11. Yep,,,,,
  12. Hell Yeah!!!!
  13. Look at Eaton 9 spring ''Easy Pedal'' clutch for Mack E-7... Problem solved,, the whole clutch kit is in one box. just have to buy a pilot bearing and a clutch brake.. if you have to replace the cross shaft bushings and shaft and fork, they are available, and keep up with us and we will guide you along.
  14. I'm sorry about my poor spelling.. the yokes get set to .010" while you are adjusting the valves or when the rocker shafts are off.. if the yokes are not even, it puts a side load on the bridge/yoke pin, and can break the pin.. I cant tell you how many of those I had removed with a welder and a slide hammer...
  15. Ok.. good find..
  16. Improper adjust ment of the valve yoke reset pin can cause this as well
  17. that is great news... so to be clear... did you get the engine and trans too?? I hope so... jojo
  18. see... I told you that you are a Guru...
  19. I'm going to take a stab at this..... right -or-wrong.. I believe they were RW 6-or-713 ST's....
  20. after the 70's they were aluminum from behind the cab and back.. I think they were 7/16'' thick... I have only been around a few of them, certainly not a guru on these..
  21. OK, keep in touch with us.. I bet we get this dialed in.. Jojo What black box made sounds??
  22. I see your name is OLDMAN... I like it... are you new to the truck that you have? If so,, trust me.... it's all good if so... This forum has so many smart guys of older age, it will be a blessing for you .. I hope you dont find my posting offensive... Jojo
  23. Its a CH, still has an acc. relay in the dash, probably a cube style plugged in by the fuse panels, left side.. JoeH, i'm pretty sure that on the firewall celenoid there is a large power wire that goes the the cab, then through the cab relay as you have stated.. With respect, Jojo and yes, My bet is its an E-Tech... V-Mac III like you say.. I forgot to add the on the firewall next to the starter relay there is a black one.. that is a ground breaker.. If it fails, it will cause the issue you have. you can jump the terminals for a minute to see if she lights back up..
