RE: Jo Dog
we have 2 Nik named Taddy ( as in flyin tadpole)
We able to use the taddys under all our trailers
all set up to use the folding gooseneckk low loaders with ramps and rollers
normally with Oversize loads under permit we get 18.5t on a tandem drive and 25t on the drive dolly group using the Taddy
We use the truck winch rope to hook the taddy up etc

We tried a pre owned ballrace turn table once it was well worn so we put new balls in. the local bearing place had 3/4" balls @ 75cents each ... or 20mm balls (near enuff same size) @ $1.90 each. now we stamdarised on a Quick Realease Turntable with a greasy plate underneath ... the main 12" diameter bronze bush is $150 to replace
se we went to the UBute plastics shop and purchased 10' of waist belt size ( 10' x 2" x 1/4" ) @ $35 ... when we winch our trailers up to the QRTT with a mechanical driven winch behind truck cab there is th@ much gearing and momentom th@ we would crush the balls in a ball race turn table

If the truck is still under Warranty/Guarantee
It is Macks problem and they should fix it
your mack sales branch may not kno the problem to solve
so they just fob you off hoping it will heal itself
You need to bring the problem to higher authority
your pix & full expanation the jokers in Suits should get it fixd

Not sure what's go n on
but in some cases the rubber 'O' rings B Tween the 2 chambers start leaking in the maxibrake
and when U release the parking brake by pushing the big button in on the dash
air leaks into the service brake chamber and gently applies the brakes on the oposite wheel or leaks out the quik release valve
other way of checking is take the service brake hose off the maxi and see/hear if air is leaking out the brake port on the maxi

Gr8 info Geoff
our older trucks have drain taps fitted to bottom of air tanks
once a week we let the tanks drain over night and note any oil or sludge on the ground next day
With the compressor govonor cut out @ max 120
the commpressor is free wheeling and the air is sukd through the engine air supply
if the engine air cleaner a little clogged the engine can suck oil up past the compressor piston rings
and enter the wet (#1) air tank and gradully move thru the air system
we also notice some trailers have the main air supply line 1/2"
to charge trailer air system U need to hold the buttin in @ the cab control
where by a 3/8" supply line the button dose not need to held in as the supply of air is a little less demand from the truck
ifn U get my drift
LOL

Sounds like a process of elimination
if you cruising along can u take the stik out of gear as in nuetral
let the engine go to idle revs
then rev upto the same revs as when U hit neutral
and the gear stik should slide back in to the same cog
no need for clutch on this proceedure
