In the meantime I saw that a United 767 hit a bread truck and light pole in New Jersey.  Yikes!  I had a much better day than those guys! Big Grin

Replaced nut and double nutted jammed nuts together so hopefully will not happen again
Motor does not make boost in neutral, had to brake torque it in gear to check for boost
Drove back to Tampa after the 500 and every thing was back to normal]]>

Went to crank it up today.  Turn the key and…. Nothing.  No crank. Isolated each the chassis batteries and checked voltage and they were about 13.6  House was 13.6.  Batteries were merged

Checked voltage at the starter and it was 13.6 positive and ground with the meter ruling out bad battery cables

Checked the starter relay where the rear start switch is, red on the small wire of the relay, and black to ground on the battery and turned the rear start switch.  It went from 2.7mv (switch off) to 6.0mv (switch on) and 22mv (switch in crank position).  I would’ve thought this would have had volts not milli volts going thru it.   

I’m thinking the relay is bad??  I’m going to jump the relay next time I’m out where I store it.  But does anyone have the part number for this??  So I can have a spare??  Or confirm that it’s bad?  Or can anyone shed any other light on the subject??

Thanks

I'm about to put the whole thing back together with the old seal cleaned up and oiled, reassemble everything and limp to Vegas, because we are 80 miles south of Elko, NV and I can't get any help here. We are going to pull over at every rest area and check fluid levels and top off accordingly. 

Oh, if anyone needs it, the retaining nut on the yoke is 2-3/4 and it took my 1" pnuematic to Crack the torque. 

Thanks!

I am replacing my cap, because its broken. At the same time I'm doing the crankcase breather filter. You can't take it out the top of the filter housing because it is just under the bathroom floor. You have to take the entire housing off to get the filter out. 

A CAT technician, when asked about this filter, said that the filter us a service item that gets changed with every oil service. Mine looks to have never been changed. We'll see when I get it off.]]>

Also if anyone has a drawing of the unit that would allow another manufacturer or shop to build one, that would be exceptional!

I have a couple of photos of the leaking around the frame supporting the CAC.  Seems the pressure has blown out the sealant that was used when it was installed.  The area must be somewhat confined to be able to build pressure.  Sorry, I tried to upload a video, but system doesn't allow it.

Any advice is certainly appreciated!

The 555 is impossible to get parts for so I am planning a heart transplant.

I have a 24 valve 5.9 cummins.  That is slightly tuned up.  I feel this is going to be a good power plant for the bus with a bump in hp/to over the 555.

I have a couple transmissions I am looking into.  The mt41 is not going to handle the torque of the new engine.

I currently have a lead on an mt645cr.  Any experts in here that can tell me if this would be a good trans for this swap?

After a very long night on the shoulder of I90, 1.2 miles from Homestake Westbound Park area, StateFarm finally got a heavy wrecker out to pull me up the hill to flat ground. He pulled the drive axle from the differential, and in so doing buggered up one of the bolts and nuts. Now I am leaking fluid and he has yet to source a replacement.  

A) I don't think I should drive on this after reading differential fluid nightmares, so we are stuck.  

B) I am assuming if I knock out this bolt to take it into an auto shop to match it, I'm going to be dumping a lot of oil in the interim. 

So, does anyone have the part number off hand? 

Thanks, ~ Marcus.
