Guys I have decided to not post anything else. All the info has been explained and photo's have been put up. Anything else is just for critism and enough of that has been handed out already. So I hope people have seen what can happen, learned some things, and I am moving on to finishing my truck.

Yes I have to take one in the morning will post.

Thank you I always try to use my best judgement in all that I do. I take all my experience (like racing) when we repair a front end part on the race car I take it on the track stay at about 1/2 speed and giggle the wheel a little run a couple laps and bring it back in and have it checked again...

I got on the freeway where the entrance is 1/4 mile from my house. I was heading west because a 1 1/2 miles down is a turn around. This was a test drive because I just replaced the protective control box and before replacing it none of my gauges worked, so in order to check the trans temp and...

Thank you I do understand that pre inspections are very important, as I do them by a check list before I fly aircraft and race cars. I knew the muffler needed to be replaced and have gotten prices and now one being sent. I did not think a hole would blow out of the bottom and melt plastic...

I can read the TM's enough to repair everything on my truck.

Your right porky place, the truck was purchased knowing it needed lots of work and it is being completed by me.

I apologize up front, but some people instead of helping by maybe saying that in the cdl manual it shows how if something happens you can do this, but instead some people seem so insecure in themselves that they feel the need to attack the person asking for help. When someone asks for your...

I would like to know what emergency stopping procedure you could have used. Mr. Panshark Tell us and the world how you would have stopped the truck with a brake failure. A complete failure of all systems at once caused by the muffler blowing a hole in the bottom of it.

Does anyone know what is going with the server. everytime I try to look at the link a box comes up and says duplicate server and it has to be fixed by the admin then takes me to a youtube video

Yes M816 it is and our roads show it, but they have less as far as requirements. I am putting up some so you can see what it did. I think that in loosing all systems at once as soon as the first one failed, the back up systems failed I thought to use the only manual brake within seconds, the...

Thank you for all of you who understood the reason for the detailed explaination of what happened. And yes coldfusion you are exactly correct in the way the title was meant and stated. Thank you. The GVW is 31600 and as long as I stay in Michigan the state told me I don't need a cdl. They titled...

As for the CDL, this truck is designed where upon failure of the primary system, the secondary system is supposed to give you 5 brake pedal stops before it runs out of air, unless you have a multiple failure like this cause by one system failing after another. This type of failure is not even in...

Found problem never would have guessed Well got it figured out what happened to all systems. Read the TM's to see exactly how things were put together. Pulled out a 3/4 plug on the side of a tank built a fitting with a shut off valve and an air chuck. started pressurizing the tanks and heard...

Well got it figured out what happened to all systems. Read the TM's to see exactly how things were put together. Pulled out a 3/4 plug on the side of a tank built a fitting with a shut off valve and an air chuck. started pressurizing the tanks and heard the pssst. Come to find a hole in the...

I was driving my M923A1 about 2 miles from home, going about 50mph when I heard a loud PSST for about 5 seconds looked at my air gauge and it dropped to zero and the horn started blaring. Then I looked at my secondary tank gauge and it was dropping fast. Hit the brake pedal to see how the were...
