That is your rear axle CTIS dump valve. It is basically a remote pressure regulator. If the tube feeding it was leaking, and the tire pressure was greater than the line pressure, that valve would dump to try and get it’s output to equal the leaking input line pressure. Basically giving it a...

You are correct, when the compressor unloads the line from compressor and dryer are open to atmosphere, because the governor has opened the purge valve at the bottom of the dryer. what is the difference between parked and driving? You are applying park air to release the park brakes. Does...

Correct, you also won’t get a oil or stop light if you should loose oil pressure:)

Find the other end of that line and insure it is connected to the port on the block, and not disconnected and plugged... then see if oil comes out of it when you crank the engine, then re-connect it to the compressor. I was looking in the 24P manual to see where it is connected but didn’t...

Thats an oil line... it should be connected to a oil port on the engine block to provide lube oil to the compressor... hope the engine is OK...

This is a “Wubbler” (Patent Pending:)) I guess the tip only sticks out 5/16-3/8” This looks like a 3/16” shaft screwdriver... Everything polished smooth so it is less likely to damage the seal... Scrap screwdriver, saw, vise hammer and grinder/file...

Ok, I think I understand now. I thought you still had a starting problem. your oil pressure switch is shorted, it should open to turn off the oil and stop lights Once the engine starts. That would also keep your alternator from charging... should be able to get one at about any autoparts...

My new seal cost more than the window...

Ok, wait, lets backtrack a little. With the white wires connected to the pressure switch, you are getting oil and stop lights when you turn on the main switch? If you do, then the oil pressure switch is completing a circuit to ground like it should with an engine that is not running/below...

Wife and grandson helped me do mine with a couple of stepladders. In hindsight, the pickup parked with the bed across the front of the LMTV would have made a good work platform...

Ok, well you have oil pressure, put a jumper wire on that black to white wire and the truck should start normally, then remove the jumper and the oil and stop lights should go out and the alternator should come online. You are looking for 14.1 and 28.2V at the batteries... Then take it out and...

What was the engine temp when you took that video? The black and white wire go to the oil pressure switch. It opens when the pressure goes above 15PSI. When you turn on the main switch, it powers the oil and stop light in the dash, the starter inhibit relay K19 and the alternator excite relay...

Those are still a little uneven, the racks may need adjustment, but I would run some good cleaner thru it first... that isn’t a switch, that is a battery level tester for the old style capped wet cells. Remove cap, insert into hole and if it can touch electrolyte it will light the led...

I’ll have to find it, give me a bit...

It is not difficult, but it does require a few extra hands to get started and apply pressure to help get the seal to settle into the pocket around the knife edge of the opening. Lube liberally. Use good heavy line in the groove(parachute cord works and absorbs/holds lube(soapy water). I have...

Sounds pretty even, and it doesn’t look like it was smoking up the shop too bad... did the exhaust flange temps change any?

The timing tolerance is +/- 0.2MM or .0074”, so probably not that much difference. yes, that is the correct valve clearance.

Well that right there is a genuine Caterpillar typo. That is a 6.6L 3116, note both labels have the same serial number... Yes, 65.39MM or 2.574” is the injector height/timing setting. So, your truck has the bracket that goes from the lower steering pump bolt to the side of the engine block...

That bare aluminum is the timing case, the cover is the thin yellow plate that is on the front... I think you pull the cam, or at least the cam gear to change out that case, and to pull the cam you need to pull all the rockers and pushrods up top. Could be they got things mixed up, or didn’t...

What is the fault number? Yep, I suspect you have a short somewhere...
