    right.... but the connection itself is not a fused link.. so cut it, and remove the bad wire approx. 1/2" of wire, and solder in good wire if there is not enough to make the connection's.... jojo

    I did, however when you first said to parralel them I believe you meant 'series' because thats how you double the voltage. it would make 12 v on each side, then for the starter you would series those cables. and for the cab power you would come off one set at 12 volts... Good chance I F'd this up now... jojo

    there is a small pipe plug behind the breather.. you can grab a 10mm socket and remove the breather, clean the area, and run the engine to see if it leaks.. jojo

    Yeah.... What he said.....

    I think its bit too much blowby, and the low oil pressure when warmed up. 20+ would make me feel better.. when was the last time the oil pump was re[laced, as well as rod and main bearings? the blowby is usually worn rings, I have done rods and mains and an oil pump several times to help improve oil pressure.. Of course I didnt do cam bushings, due to cust. budget or request... it does help. I also check the welch plugs in the rocker arm shafts to make sure one is not leaking by or popped out.. ive made that repair a few times... there will be more comments on the way.. one of us will help you... jojo

    Hayseed, I laugh... If you ask my wife, a broken clock is right more times a day than I am.. (2) 6volt batteries makes sense to me.. jojo

    I believe, I would cut them to a clean spot and solder in new wire. I would also slide a heat shrink on the wires before I solder them.. I dont think that is a fused link, I believe it is just 2 wires into 1, under the heatshrink.. jojo

    I'm guessing it's a 24 volt system with negative ground? I would just check the battery cables for proper routing, and tightly crimped ends. D.C.W. has a good point as well... I assume the 2 6 you post is 26 volts when running... it should be 28.4 ish when running... any thoughts? jojo

    My guess is Jessica Is in R+D? I"m Looking for a career change.. Let me know if I can be of service. I can bring my tool box... jojo
  11. Joey Mack
    wish you well... I believe it s a wiring issue, and possibly a bad ground or 2+... jojo

    have you set the sensor in the flywheel housing correctly? all the way in til it touches, then 1 turn out...? same for the speed sensor at the tranny tail shaft... jojo
  13. Joey Mack
    do you have a robert bosch 7100 pump? send a pic....
  14. Joey Mack
    I dont know about that, and would not introduce a future issue.. Just take it to Mack or someone with PTT for Mack or a ProLink 9000 with a V-MACIII pmcia card... you can set road speed and cruise speed... jojo
  15. Joey Mack
    OK. I am curious why you may need another FIC module.. but.... if that what gets you going for a few years, then I guess that's it.. You have one hell of a truck!!! Keep it rollin... jojo
  16. Joey Mack
    I forgot... did we talk about the sensor in the flywheel housing? jojo
  17. Joey Mack
    Good night sir, thank you for your kind words... jojo
  18. Joey Mack
    ok.. You are obviously a well studied person when it comes to this topic and the specs you know.. Truly impressive.. I may not be much help, but I will continue to try, and then I learn from you... Jojo
  19. Joey Mack
    You seem to have a damn good skill set.. I wonder if there is a bad spot in the wiring to the injection pump.. I assume you have checked them, Do you have an E-7 book? if not, i do and can try to find the flow chart to fix this issue... jojo
  20. Joey Mack
    OK... Now I understand better... did you check the condition of the gray Duetch plug at the inj. pump?
  21. Joey Mack
    I see what you are saying, I guess beacuse the 2080 has a range button and it is shifted using double clutching, or you stop and put it into high split when you are out of the hole you were in, and the (B) has the rotary shifter which requires a synchro... jojo
  22. Joey Mack
    Of course.... its very easy to stand the tranny on it's nose and pull the back box off. just keep a rope with a loop in one end , handy so you can lasso the counter shafts... jojo
  23. Joey Mack
    I dont believe there is a synchro in the straight 2080.. might there be a cover on the back box that you can pull to inspect it? the blue book in the picture covers a wide range of tranny's,.. as you know, the main 5 speed box is basically the same, the aux. boxes give each tranny it flare... P.M. me anytime if you need info.. Good chance I have a book.. and I have been know (by my wife) to buy a book, just to answer a question here... I know I will use them at some point. jojo
  24. Joey Mack
    Hey Bud, can you specify the issue. The post is 6 years old and I think it would be helpful to have current info.. Lots of smart guys here to help you. jojo
  25. Joey Mack
    those duetch connectors are available. any chance NAPA can get the parts? you may have to buy each part seperatley. the plug, rubber seal ring, terminals, terminal lock, and rubber plugs for open sockets, and the rubber seals that go on the wires before you crimp or solder the terminals to the wires.. jojo
