sadly in todays world , I can't chance working on a brake system not being commercially insured . working on the farm with hay balers/farm tractors is a different world. when someone buys a coffee at McDonalds and sues them cause the coffee was toooo hot !! never had a concern over helping others back then. unit of conversation has to go to a registered location. ☹️

far from being called a wimp; there is a major difference from a wimp and someone having common sense. YOU Sir have common sense. my grandson -real good kid (24-or25 yrs old. got a job working for municipality == great pay/ benefits/ pension. I said =go to work keep your mouth shut an sit out 20 quick years. NOPE = quit the job. excuse was " not making enough " WTF bennies/ pension all cost $$$ , now he's operating engineers making $54,oo per , so what =hes not saving. and getting upset over their stupidity. I started at $1.70 per !!

a leaking chamber on the service side will NOT drain the air tanks unless you are sleeping in the driver seat all night long with your foot on brake pedal . original statement was " gage goes to 80 when i hook trailer and push in button. tanks are draining over night there is another issue
-
got scared for a moment !! looked like the bolt was cut yet the brake can is NOT caged .!!!! hopefully the soap is covering the bolt. dam that's dangerous.
-
you stated old valve was worn = but still usable enough to hook/ move trailer ; and have defective valve for return.
-
i'd go with a defective new valve. if the swap isn't too major = do you still have old one ? knowing issue is trailer . put old valve back in to test possibility of defective new part.
-
looking at the pictures , i had 864 also
-
(1) is this the new valve assy you had put in ? (2) did you try with trailer lines disconnected ? (3) by chance red/blue lines not crossed = had to ask ,
-
you haven't separated the trailer from the tractor YET !!! take the red/ blue lines OFF the trailer and cap them. using a plugged glad hand or holder mounted on the pogo stick. THEN PUSH IN THE RED BUTTON TO SEE IF YELLOW LINE LEAKS . a faulty trailer valve /// brake can will return air to THE TRACTOR !!!!!

If I am thinking right ! ( really after two yukon jacks );; esi is for Extended Service Intervals . ==2 spin on oil filters :: the ESI + is 3 spin on filters ??? . don't recall where the main feed line to older large filter went to engine block ?/ -

piece with green tape is the pressure regulator which should bolt to block. flip the piece over will match the holes +- of block. 4 bolt holes line up . gasket in hand goes with it -

there is what appears to be an early yr R model with wrecker body in CT on rte 10 cheshire . reason I say early since it has the one piece hood : not having the two lower fender additions , purpose of mentioning due to right front fender had a mishap. reminds me of the DM. since yours will be done soon ; maybe you want more fiberglass fun. If i could figure out this picture taking ;I would. -

so the marks are a little off -- aren't we all . good to hear some positive forward advances. soon be ready for paint and parade. -
air drops to 80 after pushing in red button then builds to normal indicates trailer loosing air . air loss would be truck filling trailer air tanks ;; normally. next option would be valve cluster on truck faulty -BUT the air leak would be constant, recommendation would be as earlier stated === remove red/blue lines from trailer; cap off the hoses on truck - number of ways, hook to a hose tender / connect to another glad hand with plugged off fitting . DO NOT hook red to blue . with hoses dead headed; push in the red knob . no leak - the trailer has the issue.
-
i wasn't to successful getting the trailer lines disconnected and dead headed to eliminate trailer i guess. no reply as to one trailer involved or this unit does drop/swap.
-
if you value the truck DON'T drive it here this weekend especially. major concern also is = vehicle smashes in to you it's either stolen/ unregistered/ no insurance. more news lately show vehicle crashes and driver runs away. had one recently where passenger died ; driver ran away - car was stolen.
-
thanks for the moxie info; see it in stores . wasn't aware of "rarity" , might acquire a bottle ; see how it mixes with Yukon Jack.

you don't want to be in Connecticut ANY TIME . took an hr to go 25 minute ride today , the state was out pot hole patching I-84 at 2 pm. 5 trucks with 1= that's one clown with a shovel , this is every day. and they laugh at the horn blowing drivers. THIS WEEKEND in ct === sorry

Connecticut Construction Trucks
mechohaulic replied to BKrois's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
Gowens=Knight still there??? haven't been there in many years. between business for Mack or being member of Oxford FD , lot of time spent there. -
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
-
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.
