Yes.

Congrats on getting your Extra! I got my General a couple of months ago now and I'm slowly working my way thru the study questions for Extra.... I hope to test for it in a month or two. but I'm going to keep my 1x3 call that I got when I passed my general. W6MJS

Also check the connections to the ABS box at the rear axle. Sometimes the box gets damaged from voltage spikes (ie improper shutdown etc)

Congrats and welcome to the Big Toys group from Utah

Congrats and welcome again from Utah.

Pinch off the return fuel line and crank it (the MW pump needs to have at least 15psi of internal pressure before it will push fuel to the injectors. I had this problem due to a faulty check valve at the fuel return line..

Just don't ask Swamp D where he got..ahem found the "old" sign ;-)

All I did was place the shank of a large screwdriver in the area that I needed bent/re-arched and tapped it with a hammer to reset the spring tension.

The one on the PCU is the one that tells the ECU when the desired pressures are reached. There is also a pressure switch that allows the CTIS system to actually function once there is at least 90 psi in the wet air tank.

Depending on the LRA rating of your 2.5 HP air compressor your Mep-831 is probably a bit small for your compressor as a 120v 2.5hp motor would usually be around 21.5amps RLA (Running Load Amps) @ 120V with a .90 Efficiency rating on the motor (good quality motor) & a .8 power factor. Unless you...

I believe the truck side Pintle is a straight shaft. I know that the shaft on the Ring on my M105a2 trailer is tapered

What did the seller say its not doing? As the brake system is Air and the only electrical item that I can think of off the top is the brake light pressure switch

With the amount of cranking you have been doing to not get fuel fog out of the glowplug holes really makes me think your IP is not creating enough pressure to open the injectors because you say when you crack the lines to the injector you get fuel....but with the lines snug your not getting fuel...

Batteries since you stated "just under 24v" which is not even close to being charged. You should see 25.2 to 25.8 volts resting (no load after being off of a charger for 8 to 12 hours) for completely charged/fresh batteries.
