    stealing the fenders off an LTL ;; that's worse then painting a mustache on the mona lisa ;;

    well if sitting in the salt shed seems bad;; take a trip through CT . bring water and maybe food with you. it's a long slow ride as you pass one ; no two;no three and four maybe five trucks parked along the road (for construction). each truck having a "driver" either on a phone or sleeping. at least in the salt shed the road is open. this isn't middle of the nite ; during the prime time day traffic. traffic backed up for miles . pick a highway any one you will see it.

    only remember seeing a very few on the east coast back in the day. the C O E had my vote; NOT if comparing to an F-700; it was not bad looking . had the pete 352 style box cab

    don't want to cut out "mid-stream" on this topic ; not much choice any more . 10pm on east coast. take care of my lite work ok JOJO 😁
  6. mechohaulic
    trying to cross reference the two topics he wrote earlier dealing with same truck . earlier stated with trailer emer button out , air comes out the red hose when stepping on tractor brake pedal. now the suspension issue seems A OK , working on the air / emerg line
  7. mechohaulic
    what you are saying is now when pulling out the red trailer button, the tractor air bags deflate automatically/
  8. mechohaulic
    normal ;; correct JOJO at 90 the secondary air will be filling ??
  9. mechohaulic
    not understanding how a noticeable difference can be seen in the bags . they raise/lower. valve must be working
  10. mechohaulic
    am I correct then the only situation when flipping the toggle was ; you weren't sure what the valve did ?possibly there is nothing wrong with the system . the bags work properly ?
  11. mechohaulic
    total respect IS ALWAYS given. difference today is :: way way back when i said "i do"i consider myself "a doctor" .based on the fact : I had patience then . patients are gone NOW
  12. mechohaulic
    how is there a difference? have the bags inflated/ deflated ? if so I don't under stand the situation. unless you put an outside air supply to valve
  13. mechohaulic
    i would go back to disconnecting leveling valve arm from rear end and physically moving the arm ;; air movement will be heard /bags will change. if not do as JOJO stated remove the supply line to the valve.
  14. mechohaulic
    possibly bags are down now, depends on the style bag. some have only a short travel
  15. mechohaulic
    forgot when moving the arm make sure it's still connected to the valve NOT the rear end. might sound like "i'm not that stupid". not implying anyone is ; after 50 yrs of road calls it's the question that sound "stupid "make a difference when not being there to physically check an issue. a quick one;; call in liftgate doesn't work :: reply is the power cord plug in the trailer ? response ;; yes it is ;; OK 1 1/2 later arrive to find power cord UNPLUGGED back of tractor.. driver==you didn't ask about the other end!!
  16. mechohaulic
    since you located the leveling valve can also try disconnecting one end of the arm; usually the lower end . with ful air pressure and ALL body parts out of harms way,, just slightly move the arm up/ down. if there's air and valve is good the bags should raise/ lower.
  17. mechohaulic
    nothing happens flipping switch;; could be the arm to leveling valve broke/disconnected just hanging in "off"position. then trailer red line different issue.
  18. mechohaulic
    going back and forth on your other post about the air lines to trailer. a "94 is too new for me to know its air schematic. red button out shouldn't be air coming out trailer emergency line (red) during brake application. between that issue and air bags doing nothing with the switch ;first thought is someone has lines crossed.
  19. mechohaulic
    that suspension valve shouldn't be connected to trailer supply valve on the tractor . many trailers pick there supply off the red line for suspension
  20. mechohaulic
    last time i heard such a vague question asked ; i made the mistake of saying "i do" . what did you mean till death due us part.
  21. mechohaulic
    correction;; up/down can also be left/right movement referring to toggle switch.
  22. mechohaulic
    up/down toggle will normally exhaust a small amount of air which is the sound in the dash.
  23. mechohaulic
    so possibly the phrase "toggle switch up " just refers to flipping the switch up/ down; not a movement same as raising RPMs using a rapid toggling motion
  24. mechohaulic
    if possible; may I ask what switch cover would you be referring to?see a later post discussing trailer button leak . one in the same ?? the toggle switch part has this old man scratching his head.

    quick/cheap yoke holding tool is a ;; cut to length 4x4. cut a tad longer then yoke sitting horizontal to ground . you really want a fancy "tool" then 2 nails on opposite sides of the 4x4 to connect a short bungee cord over the yoke, it holds the yoke to the 4x4 tighter so you can put full effort in the impact gun . takes ALL the shock from traveling to the gear train. on a real budget then use a 2x4.
