THE overload bypass valve is stuck or bad, the emergency over ride mode should bypass the overload valve

I can not do that at the moment, but that is what the emg. override mode is for.

This truck should have electromechanical overload safety systems (pressure switches, electric solenoid valves). A bad sender (pressure switch), a bad wire, a bad ground, a bad solenoid valve, a bad power source, any of these can give you a NON OP condition. The EMG. BYPASS MODE does what the name says, BYPASSES the normal safety systems.

Ok so i figured out what the problem was their is a control box on the right side by all the controls it has an on off switch with a bunch of wires coming out of the back well the whole box went bad replace it if you run into these problem it runs about $2,000 dollars but it fixed all the issues the truck was having thanks for the help 73m819 i hope this helps other soldiers having the same issue
