    Mech, That is the brake light switch. Its on the firewall in "R" models.. I think DM's too.. I forget sometimes.. jojo
  2. Joey Mack
    Do you own one of these? If not, I suggest you get one.. You may not use it much, but when you do, you will be glad you have one.. $65.00 on Amazon... jojo

    The fuse box on the firewall, has the trailer fuses in it.. and yes, check the plug at the back of the cab for brake light power.. jojo

      Thanks. This birthday marks a significant moment in time for me...I've now had my CDL for half my life. If that realization doesn't make a feller feel old...🤦‍♂️

    I actually worked on a truck today.... '03 Granite Tri-X dump truck.. I did a rear axle brake job, and the right rear ABS tone ring cut loose, and ruined the hub, and the sensor.. It now has a new hub, ABS sensor and brakes across the axle.. and a grease job. Tomorrow, I have to do, oil and filters, R+R the HVAC fan switch, adj. the clutch, and I found an 8-5 code today.. It kinda felt good to work on a Mack.. it's been since July.. jojo

    RTV... just a dot...
  13. Joey Mack
    And?????
  14. Joey Mack
    Yes to the oring and RTV.. You may get lucky and the oring will come out. Then if you cant get a new one you can fill the groove with RTV and push the o-ring back in place.. Do you have a shop near buy that rebuilds Hyd. Cylinders? If so, and it's like the shop I use, they will have a wall of o-rings. They even sell rolls and the glue to build an oring. You could go that route, and install the o-ring stock in the groove, and cut it to fit and add a drop of the glue right in the groove.. Or you could just clean it really good and RTV it.. I believe FJH said that.. Jojo
  15. Joey Mack
    Yep.

    A bad relay that gets hot can do that, but to crank right back up??? yeah, I see your point..

    Just for kick's.. I'm going to stay with a bad ground or a chaffed wired shorted to ground.. I don't mind if I'm wrong here at BMT.. because there alway's is someone who nails it down, and solves it..
  18. Joey Mack
    I expect that you are on target.. I am a grounds checking guy.. I have chased many issues, way back,, only to find a bad ground or even a blown fuse... I was trying to show off at times, only to find the issue was simple.. so now i toss out the simple stuff.. jojo
  19. Joey Mack
    Just curious?? What is not the solution?? I'm losing my MP knowledge quickly. However, I still work on trucks here and there.. jojo
  20. Joey Mack
    Oh My F'n Word!!! Mech.. You are AMAZING !! Yeah I wish I had that book too... Why??? because I can not quote one tenth of what you just posted.. But on the serious side... You have a gift of knowledge that will help many people.. BMT struck GOLD, with you sir.. Jojo

    Hmmm,, and I thought you got 'Hearing A.I.D.S.' from,,, Listening to A-Hole's?? 🤣
  23. Joey Mack
    Yeah !!!! What Onyx said...
  24. Joey Mack
    Have you checked the ground connections down below the fuse panel? You may be able to pull the panel around the throttle pedal, and reach up to get to them. There is also ' pass through connector's ' in the firewall.. all those ground wires are gray..

    I re- built an E-Tech last summer that was making oil.. I took the fuel lift, pump off and put a plug in the output port, and shop air set to 80 PSI in the input port. The fuel in the pump blew out passed the spindle where the gear is.. Bad Pump.. I also found on another one I re- built right after that, and it had a leaking fuel gallery plug, behind the timing cover.. My 2 issues aren't very common in my experience, but it happens. For a bunch of years now, I will remove both the front gallery plugs, and reseal them as part of the rebuild. Good luck.. Jojo
