The wet tank is supposed to act as a final filter/dryer stage in the air system before the air feeds into the service brake tanks. Every A0 I have come across has had an issue with the wet tank plumbing, with the wet tank Td off of the dryer output line and fed on to the service tanks. Plumbed...
the test is to fully charge the system(dryer purges) then shutdown. drain all the air out of the wet tank and close the drain valve. Look for pressure drop on the pri/sec-rear/front air gauges in the dash. if you note air loss on the gauge, open the wet tank drain and if it has built up air...
well if it is draining all your air while parked you have some other issues as well. That is the point where air from the front red/emer gladhand via a check valve, charges the wet tank and the rest of the system. it is located in the air sample line that the governor uses to monitor wet tank...
You can Easily get 350HP out of your 3116. Start with the 290HP governor and turbo modifications general mentioned. Then turn the high speed screw up to allow 2800RPM and delete the air compressor, alternator, power steering and cooling fan...
I believe the marine engine is basically the...
That silver one is the gauge sender. The switch Is in the background of your pic(black plastic body against the block, harness toward the rear). Also seen lower right of Matthews pic, against the block, painted yellow.
that parts picture you added of the 3 wire oil pressure sensor, looks like...
I believe matthew is correct, 15PSi low oil switch(S27) is on a little manifold on the drivers side of the block a little above the oil pan just forward of the starter...
That provides the ground path to energize K11 and the dash low oil idiot light. When it hits 15PSi it opens the circuit to...
Yea MME lost my respect when they took our R&D for a cost effective fan solenoid (~$30), added a connector and some fittings and marked it up to $309...
With that amount of water out of the main drain, and it never being run in that condition, you will probably be fine as it want straight to the sump and pushed oil up. I doubt it ever came in any significant contact with the friction material.
The main housing fills before oil gets high enough...
If it filled with significant water, the transmission dipstick should indicate this(will show it full of fluid well above the dipstick marks. Most anything on the truck can tolerate some water in it for a bit EXCEPT THE TRANSMISSION. The friction material on the clutch discs is bonded to with...
no, the bell housing vent is a hose up alongside the arch that supports the cab latch. There is a small round metal cap breather/vent screwed into the top of the main transmission case, about 18" aft of the bellhousing/cab arch. It is only marginally higher than the top of the upper chassis...
There is a little air cap/vent on top of the trans housing. If water got that high, the trans probably has water in it. Do not roll over the engine or trans until you confirm no water in their oil. Water kills the clutch plates. First check the dipsticks for excessive level, then drain the...
Yea sounds like a restriction, and perhaps a leaking wheel valve. Pressure should equalize fairly quickly each time it cycles, if it is not, ctis will fault, same if it is too uneven at the start of a cycle, pressure equalizing causes unstable pressure and the unit faults, so it takes a few...
Yep, that's how you do it. Old school but fairly common way of getting engine RPM off a diesel... I just don't think the A0 alt is capable of it. They have that terminal configured for AC on the A1 alt and the LBCD monitors alt RPM using it to make some of its decisions...
On the A0, that second terminal on the reg is not labeled AC, it is labeled F- and is intended to monitor the duty cycle/pulse width of the pulses used to excite the field (How hard the alt is working). Not sure what freq it is being pulsed at by the regulator, but I suspect it is not...
Not an automotive tach, those are typically sensing ignition and are only looking for 1/2 pulse per revolution per cylinder, I E: a V8 has 4 pulses per revolution.
you need a flywheel/magnetic pickup tach that can sense the 133 pulses per revolution created by the sensor monitoring the passage...
