Too bad you're way East in MO.
I have a 5-ton tractor, Mack END673 engine (the best, BTW). It's a project rig, and needs to be put together.
For my asking price of $1,500 here in AZ, it's not a bad deal.
Also FS is an 900-series hydraulic winch for an additional $500.
If interested...
I've found those particular switches are junk, with just the same result in regular uses.
First off, any of them with a 'key' just never have the low contact resistance necessary to handle a Diesel starter current.
Ditch the 'security' idea and get one of these: Cole-Hersee battery disconnect...
I have a 5-ton tractor that you could have all the 5th wheel and ramps for coming to get it.
There couldn't be a whole lot of difference between them, as both trucks have the same frame width.
I'm just outside of Phoenix.
This may have been tried, but go for a run with the gas cap off.
Sounds to me like whatever is used to admit air into the tank as fuel is drawn off is causing a vacuum the pump can't overcome.
Just a thought...
I have a quantity of NOS 11.00-18 NDCCs, mostly Goodyear.
I have 6 to sell, $150 per and you pay shipping. I have some mounted NATO recaps for the same $.
>>OR<<
Trade 1 for 1 GOOD used 9.00-16 NDCC, same shipping to you, I'll pay for the return.
Make sure your gas tank is properly vented to the atmosphere.
Otherwise, as gas is used and air is not let back in a vacuum will develop and stall it out.
For the brake problem, make sure the MC pushrod has a tiny bit of slack, as the lack of same can keep it from totally releasing.
