gearhead204 Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 I take it's Detroit powered? if so on top or on side of eng where blower attaches on the top side of bloweryou will see a cable attached to a lever that locks a shaft. remove cable at this point then remove from dash, coil and put in bucket of diesel let sit for a day then coil and un coil cable several times, this should break it loose then if needed remove cable oil and reinstall 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/34864-emergency-engine-stop-cable/#findComment-235136 Share on other sites More sharing options...
