96 MR Loosing electrical power to cab
70mackMB replied to Charteroak's topic in Electrical, Electronics and Lighting
Take a set of automotive battery jumper cables, using only one cable. Go from the frame to the cab to check for a bad ground. I drove an Ottawa yard tractor with an air ride cab. All most every time you backed under a trailer, the cab would squat down and lose ground thru the cab hinges. We installed a large ground cable near the cab hinges and it solved the problem. .....Hippy -

First truck was a '77 R600. 300+, 10spd RR, manual steering, 34,000lb camel backs, 36" crawl thru, (1) 4" straight pipe exhaust. Back when it was fun to turn NH to MD twice a week! haha .....Hippy

77 Cruiseliner, No Electrical Power
70mackMB replied to 77_Cruiser's topic in Electrical, Electronics and Lighting
Once upon a time l spent over an hour getting a tail light (1157?) to work. Turned out to be a bad ground. l check the ground first now! .....Hippy -
l'm on my second pair of Red Wings #1412. Wearing them seven days a week l got three years out of the first ones. Two and a half on this pair so far. With the wide (extended) heel l don't roll the boot over like l did with the logger style. My back and legs don't bother me like they did before. The RW salesman called the logger style the " Cowboy boot of the northeast". .....Hippy

Whats with all the cars? My first legal ride was a '64 International 59 passenger school bus converted to a camper. The guy at the drive-in movie theater always thought l was trying to sneak in a load of friends! haha .....Hippy

Find a local independent diesel repair shop, maybe the one your friend will deal with. See if someone from the shop will go with you to look it over before your friend talks money to the owner. This is what l did when l first started out before l bought my '77 R612 when it was five years old. Gee it's been that long ago?! lol .....Hippy

I find the same thing with the Volvo. Trying to get out into traffic from a side street or a driveway. Stand on the pedal to go, the truck moves then, nope that's not the gear we (TCM-ECM) wanted to be in! We'll get back to you when we have selected the proper gear. I understand this all takes only a second or two but it seems like five minutes with a line of traffic coming! .....Hippy

Ricky told me........It's a HSA or Hill Start Assist. It's only used on manual automated transmissions. The button/switch is to tell the transmission to tell the ABS not to hold the truck when the brake pedal is released on a grade. The percent of grade is programmable into the TCM up to three percent grade. The Volvo I sit in and aim has one with an IDrive 12 speed. .....Hippy

How many yards does that barrel hold and what would the GVW be with 7 axles? .....Hippy -
OD, Next time that happens to you throw your load chains on the ground. Toss them under the tires laid out in a "S" pattern and ease up on them. Works somewhat like tire chains in a pinch. .....Hippy
