    The air dryer purge valve should pop, then release a decreasing amount of air for up to 30 seconds. If it does this, the purge cycle is working correctly. The desiccant filter should be replaced periodically, especially in cold climates, as the air systems will freeze if much moisture is...

    I've never replaced a fill tube. It's been recommended, but no one has agreed. Other stuff: the hoods break near the hinges. Badly. Have a boat shop or something fix it before the hinge rips completely out. Replace the hood prop rod thing if its missing or ineffective. The hood should never...

    Canada, correct? If any hardware was missing on the tube bracket, it will break. They can rust too. When you replace it, make sure all bolts on everything nearby are installed. There is no bleeder. Fill new filter, crank until it starts. Never pressurize fuel tank to help prime, it'll blow...

    I also got to see my tractor molest another tractor, which was pretty entertaining.

    Tell them to do an 'SCV test'. Email you the .txt file. Then forward it to me and I'll graph it. While you're at it, get them to email you a complete 'DX report'. If you're dealer doesn't know what this is, call the HinoCare hotline and file a complaint.

    Tell him to hold the brake pedal up slightly with his foot, at least until he gets up to speed.

    This seems...unreasonable. Sure, have an oil analysis done.

    Don't manhandle it or the anchor clip will break. It untwists only in one direction.

    Here's the brake switch in question. The white button on the end needs to stay pressed in while driving.

    This is a clutch switch, but it works the same way.

    Brake pedal switch adjustment, no doubt. Twist to release, press in a few notches, twist back to lock it in. Either that or it's the one on the relay valve. Check pedal switch first.

    Check the intake throttle valve for a loose plate or worn shaft bore. Do not attempt to tighten the screws. If it's loose, try and hit a mailbox with it on your way to the dealer for a new one. Modify the new one. If your current one is good, modify it. The numbers here are metric. You're...

    Big Truck Not everyone should be allowed to wield tools.

    The two shafts don't HAVE to be parallel. That does make it easier. It's also ok if the shafts are completely opposing but otherwise equal. Like this: You're more likely to see this on a Jeep with a lift kit. The truck had been towed before, and when the shaft was reinstalled it was...

    This video explains angularity and phasing perfectly. Watch the whole thing. When you have a phasing issue, a massive amount of vibration develops. This actively damages everything. U-joints, the bearings and bushings inside of transmissions, etc. This leads to excessive movement of...
