cruiseliner64 replied to Jocko's topic in Transportation Board
Lovely B model,best of luck with it.The name on the door suggests an Irish connection!!!! Paul -
Thats a pity but many thanks for the replys Paul

Yes all tanks have full pressure but the parking brake is a europian type lever with 3 pipes.As I remember one is a supply pipe and should have air at all tines the other pipes direct that air to valves to release or apply the parking brake depending on lever position.I was wondering where that air is supplied to the lever comes from.The pipes are not colour coded and will require a lot of work to follow them but if I have to I will do it.The dash would need to be partly removed a job Id rather not do this side of Christmas.

Hi guys,The parking brake on the Cruiseliner wont release.Iv checked and rechecked that I have any pipe work that was moved during painting connected properly(took loads of pics as well as marking them)What I have found is Iv no air at all up at the parking brake control valve on the dash.Im wondering where the valve is fed from or any other ideas you might have.....

My Cruiseliner has an 18k front axle and 3 leaf spring/spacer arrangement.You could add more leafs but it woud make the ride very harsh.. Paul

Thanks Geoff,this was a "hail Mary" situation.We have to move the truck by this weekend as the guy who owns it needs his shed as his machinery is coming back off hire for the winter.He will be doing a lot of maintainance to his equipment over the winter so he needs the shed.....The things I was saying to the truck were not what the rich call prayers I can tell you!!!! Paul

Just seen that pic now.I dont see a port to fit one on the head... Paul
-
Yeah a fair bit of black carbon debris came out on the shop rag.No theres no pressure relieh valve on the head,would I fit one to the outlet and adjust the pipes to suit?... Paul

I know what you mean Bob.I woukd say Im the same.I did serve my time as a mechanic but that was 40 years ago.I have restored a number of cars and pick ups over the years but this is my first big truck.Sometimes I need reminding of things I once knew but have forgotten.The guys on this site is just great for that.... Paul

Geoff,Joey I cant thank you guys enough for your tech support.The compressor is now working fine.I sprayed brake cleaner in the exhaust side and blew it out with shop air.I then ran the engine at high rpm and tapped the head gently.It blew out some debris onto a shop rag.After reassembly it worked just fine.Many thank again guys..... Paul
-
Thanks Geoff,I will try that tomorrow.If it doesent work Ill remove the head and see whats going on.I will let you know.... Paul
-
Yes I took the govenor off and it was still leaking back through the compressor.I know the pic isnt great but its the best shot I could get as its buried low in the frame.Im thinking its the unloader valves thats stuck.Many thanks for your replies. Paul
-
Thanks for the replies.I disconnected the govenor but it still behaved the same.I tried a little light oil in the intake tapping with a hammer but again I had no joy.I think the head has to come off to sort this.The problem with taking the head off is the chances of getting a gasket over here is zero.Could the gasket be reused for a short time untill I can get a new one or could I cut one from heavy gasket material?.I thought it was a Midland compressor but not sure now.Heres a few pics of it see if you guys know what it is...Thanks again for all the help. Paul

Hi all,We started the Cruiseliner for the first time in 7 months today and it started first turn of the key....but it wont build air pressure over 20psi.When the engine is shut down the air can be heard leaking back through the compressor.Im thinking its the unloader valves are stuck.My question is does the compressor head have to be taken off to clean them or is there some other way to clean them? I think its a Midland compressor.Thanks Paul
