So in English I turned it then it went on its own what would cause that to happen
-
Ok so still fighting brakes and this treadle valve not sure what’s causing this but front drive axle pass side I thought something was weird so I got under truck to look brakes released and start adjusting this one and I turned the adjustment bolt to suck them down went one turn and the slack adjust over on its own like the chamber pulled it inward basically it decided to work o guess I thought maybe slack adjuster is bad and it’s hanging up Mack want 178.00 a pc for slack adjusters no way am I payin that any thought as to what’s goin on??

Fjh I did sir it’s gona need a clutch brake before long I thing I just keep adjusting it every so often as needed but it’s doin fine and the truck runs good man I’m probably the first owner to change oil every 10 000 it gets Lucas with every change fuel additive the clean it and good oil out in it
-
Ya I’m grateful engine has a ton of torque like it has more torque than my 6nz did I think I don’t know why I like this thing so much but I do
-
Ya it looks like it I haven’t run into to much of Mack stuff that’s not a pita
-
Ok how are you fjh by the time we are done we will have rebuilt a Mack I believe lol I’ll pull up on the rd and try that
-
Thought I’d drive it if vibration is gone the let it be ya know
-
Ya it takes grease i bought 2 u joints and can change it right now I just didn’t know if should or needed to the front one move a lot I think when carrier bearing saddle came loose and was everywhere it caused u joint to go bad but I don’t know how long these have been on truck or anything so who knows
-
Ya damn it if I just barely put pressure on the brake pedal it stops if I push hard on brake it starts again this is called treadle valve /brake valve ? or pretty universal or Mack specific? . Also joe is it best to change both u joints if have to change 1 front one at carrier bearing was bad got bad vibration the back one same axle has a little play but not much should I change it or wait till it gets worse I don’t know if the back one can ruin the new front one I guess what I’m getting at
-
So if I push the brake pedal it stops just tried it truck off so i can hear and it quits
-
I’ll give it a shot would that valve piss like that if a brake can isn’t working properly or another valve in the air line spiderweb from hell
