Well new oil will do that:)
There are 2 hooks on the cab that engage the stubs on the side of the arch to pull it into alignment at the last second as the cab lowers. You have a little leeway on where the latch can rest fore-aft on the top of the arch, which should help you set the arch...
Ok, well a wtec3 would have been easy as they are already all 24v. On the side of the TCU in the drivers dash there should be a date sticker just to confirm you have a 95 or newer TCU. Then it is simply a matter of shifting the battery input to the TCU in the power panel from CB35(12v) to CB43...
Something would have to majorly fail for the engine to damage the transmission as all the parts are designed to deal with full engine output.
strange... could be something shorted in the wiring activating solenoids to select a gear ratio AND engaging the lockup clutch. I suspect this would...
yep, you will still need the 12V for all the lighting, but that is a simple converter like a Victron Orion 70A model.
Is this truck a WTEC 2 or 3 transmission controller(they started phasing in the 3's in 98 )...
I guess another possibility is that the spring brakes did not fully release with applied park air? Wonky actuator or wedge? The operation is the sum of all the parts…
If I recall, the spring loaded teeth(with sawtooth serrated faces) are pushed out of the way and ride over the spiral sawtooth grooves on the plunger as the plungers travel outward(pushed by the wedges) because the two sets of sawtooth ridges meet angle to angle(like teeth on a ratchet). Then...
Well the adjusters only cycle when the actuators cycle the brakes… That sounds weird… is the drum out of round? Take the wheel off, put on some lugs to hold the drum in proper position and spin it...
If it was applied, yep. When I got mine from auction it pulled horribly and brakes were marginal moving it on and off the trailer. 3 of the 4 front shoes were installed backwards...:) It tries to throw you thru the windshield now...
What year is your trans controller? After ~94 the controller can run EITHER 12 or 24. That is also the voltage output to the VIM relays controlled by the TCU, so those relays(neutral start) would have to be swapped.
From the 3060 Troubleshooting manual:
NOTE: Model Year ’94 and earlier...
