OK all-
I had a situation last week where my "unloader valve" got stuck in open(?) position and I had to whack my air compressor with a hammer to close(?) it. For those who don't know, it's located under the injection pump on the driver's side of the engine.
Here are my questions:
1. What is...
I have to say, there were some **very** sloppy spots in the field we were in and my sweet lady @IRIS_Always had her doubts, but Bertha walked through them like no ones business and she would grin, squeal and say "Oh my God this truck is AWESOME!"
So today I took the 5 ton to Mamou, Louisiana for some fun in the mud....
She ended up working pulling people out almost more than just having fun...
Anyway... on my way home I lost all air.... on the side of the road @fuzzytoaster and @charlesmann came through with some troushooting...
Great job on the fix! I can't speak to the other issues, but I know our front blinkers don't act as parking lights... at least as far as I have been able to find.
Great troubleshooting tip right here. It takes the truck completely out of the circuit and removed the draw.
Thanks to you and @74M35A2 for all of the help!
I believe you need to move your probe to the "Amp" (red) probe.
You should have a "high" or standard Amp port and a "low" Amp port. Wrong port and you blow a fuse.
Without seeing the entire face of the meter, I can't tell.
We had a local parade and everyone had a ball!

Loaded and ready to go!
Very important to have a competent A-driver!
Someone is all paraded out!
All-
It just occurred to me to make sure I have a spare serpentine belt. After checking the 5 ton parts list, it isn't listed.
Does anyone have a crossover number for NAPA, O'Reillys etc?
