5-ton service to hire

[captcarc]

Greetings!

I have a 5-ton with NHC-250 in Arlington, Texas. I don't have time to work on it and have two systems needing service before I drive it 90 miles to my new house. Fuel: It drove well until sitting for 6 months and critters may have chewed a fuel line. It has a leak when running and will abruptly "die" when driving it. Air: An ongoing air pressure problem has gotten worse. It won't retain pressure for over a minute after shutting down and I can't hear a leak. I have "honking" in the intake when brakes are applied, have replaced the "treadle valve?" on the inside of the front bumper to no avail and am ordering another. It would be great to hire a local guy to work on my rig.

Thanks!

The air thru the intake is a service or spring brake diaphragms. Replace all 10 service ones and all 4 spring ones together. If i am in the Dallas area i can get it moved to your place for cheap.

Edit: The fact that your losing air pressure after you shut it off tells me it is on the emergency side which is a good inclination of a diaphragm. Especially if your emergency brake is not set when it does so. The valve on the front of the truck is the Q2 valve not the treadle valve. It only controls the front brake system and it vents thru the intake. Did you make sure it was hooked back up right? The drivers side ports the 2 lower ones specifically can easily be confused and they both have enough slack to interchange.

Thank you Sir and I'll stand by to hear from you if/when you are in the Dallas area.

I had labeled the hoses and reattached the way they were. In a few days, I'll receive a NOS Q2 valve that is identical to the original and will see how that works. Out of curiosity, I am holding the original in my hands. I can see the brass "sleeve" inside the delivery ports. The brass sleeve is rotated to where the hole is half visible looking in the port. I cannot rotate the sleeve to change the position of the hole. Is that normal? And I have no idea how this valve is supposed to work.

Can anybody respond to my last post about the operation of the Q2 valve? Thanks.
