    air is constant leak out the exhaust yellow line when you push in the red button to release trailer brakes ;; correct??? do you pull same trailer or others?? same we continue ; other trailers being hooked to , does exhaust still leak,?? attempt here is to verify the truck has the issue
  5. mechohaulic
    yellow lines are the exhaust ports I believe, 2015 way new for me to be certain.

    did you try and dead head the lines to trailer then push the buttons in ?? might help eliminate whether issue is with truck or back feed from trailer. where in CT is this truck located??

    long as the garage door is darn high to bring inside; or the bay is long enough when boom is lowered.

    keep in mind , there is a BIG difference between "doubting myself VS questioning myself.. doubt means __ don't think I can !!!! questioning ones self means to double check a persons work (which is acceptable !!!! after this build a positive is __you can NEVER say "I never build one before"
  12. mechohaulic
    should ????

    always focus on the mechanics ;;; BUT also focus on safety surroundings . looking as if carpet material would be great for nap time while pretending to be working under unit!! just sayin

    removing the "inspection hole plug" helps for line up. found back in the day if a light film of high tack was put on the injection pump then place the gasket on pump, life was easier. don't know if high tack still around with all the new plastic silicone adhesives. able to rotate pump enough to engage drive gear without screwing up a gasket. then out came the extremely modified 3/4box wrench for the top bolt in the back.

    progress looking good. my question is : what is the floor material ; concrete ? the pattern almost looks like a rug ? frame extension came out super.

    got me on that one! running the brain cell rolodex; round doughnut style which slipped onto front cover -sat in saddle then top clamp compressed the rubber ???

    rubber insulator for front engine mount is a two piece setup , U shaped 1in +- not square or round rubber ? one piece fits in front crossmember saddle , second piece identical in shape fits in the top half of hold down bracket with two 1/2 or 5/8 ? Allen head bolts . if you have top half of mount , the insulator in it is what you are looking for X2

    You would have had a great time back in mid seventies being around this youngster who proved the Mack factory engineers wrong. being told NO way can a Mack MB have an engine brake installed. and the Fire Dept says then keep the truck. a little bit of chop/channel and the Jacobs engine brake roared to life. first one of it's kind. the fun days of experimenting with other people money LOL

    the 673 is being converted to 2 spin -ons and going into a B , veerrryyyy interisting

    fun part of building is that it's always a learning experience for all ;no matter how many years are put in. when it gets to be "I know it all " : then it's time to find an office job.
  23. mechohaulic
    a walk away has proven positive move numerous times. better than over taxed brain making errors.
  24. mechohaulic
    will you be there when engine installed and being fired up for first time ?? I was more nervous on a 673 complete rebuild first fire up then when my wife gave birth to our daughter. Doctors were there for problems (thankfully none) ;; I was the "doctor" on engine birth. LOL

    If You flip the top gasket upside down , do the holes line up with one hole not used ?
