There should be one stored in a holder on each can…Ah dang well I might have just enough cage bolts
.Ah dang well I might have just enough cage bolts
.Yeah there is just one at each wheel but managed to scrounge up another 3 so left with one short. Just gonna try and drag the one wheel. Only need to go a few feet to get the cab back under the canopy while I start pulling apart the motor.
Duramax having a hard time getting her to slide.
Oh haha well of course that was one of the ones I didn’t have caged. Anyways I finally got it back where I wanted it..
You need just one bolt on each of the brake cans on the back of the axles on the M1088
Front emergency glad hand was the first thing that I tried but I think I have a stuck check valve because couldn’t get the system to build pressure from that.Just remove the wheel on the one you cant cage or apply air to the front red gladhand, which is how a towing vehicle would release them…
Is this a complex job? I have 50psi cold then dropping to 18-20 @165. I had it to 180 once and full RPM was almost 40. Maybe I'm worried about nothing... My neighbor has a c7 in his LMTV and he has 20 PSI more than me across the board...They do all use the same oil pump. The listings I see show the same pump being used on 3116, 3126, and C7. So potentially yes the 3116 could have the older pump design and could be upgraded to the gerotor pump if needed or desired.
If this was my truck - I would pull the pan and check the pump condition. Given this numbers and the knowledge of the change in pump design..... I would have to see for myself.Is this a complex job?

Maybe I misunderstood your post but looking back at the diagram you shared (and as GeneralDisorder also mentioned), it appears that every single can on the rear axles need to be caged in order to release parking brakes (8 total)? Just trying to clear that up for my future reference..

I think I'm going to take it apart and inspect/change the pump in a few months when it warms up. First, I'm going to hard plumb an oil pressure gauge to verify my dash gauge. $785 for a new style CAT reman oil pump. Ouch. $250 for a Chinese pump.....nope..If this was my truck - I would pull the pan and check the pump condition. Given this numbers and the knowledge of the change in pump design.....

Looks to be a fairly easy job.
Yeah I saw that price tag too…wow.I think I'm going to take it apart and inspect/change the pump in a few months when it warms up. First, I'm going to hard plumb an oil pressure gauge to verify my dash gauge. $785 for a new style CAT reman oil pump. Ouch. $250 for a Chinese pump.....nope..

.Trying to figure out why the parking brake will not disengage all of a sudden. Truck has been sitting for a few weeks while I've had the engine oil pan removed but just got that back on and couldn't move the truck. In the meantime, I did remove the 5th wheel air hookups (hoses still installed but now capped) could that be causing an issue? I would ultimately like to delete these lines altogether since I will be removing the 5th wheel.
Right yeah I know that problem well but brakes have been caged for the last few weeks while truck wasn’t running. The problem i’m having is park brake button will not release the brakes, air pressure is good front and rear but brake lines at each port below where the christmas tree sits are now disconnected. I assumed since these are trailer brake lines they wouldn’t effect truck brakes but could be wrong here..
If it is anything like mine - if you have been getting rain - a drum might be seized to the brake shoes. Seems that several others here have had the same problem. If mine sits around in the rain for more than a week, it requires a "love tap" on the steel part of the brake shoe.
If you have re-plumbed air lines, all bets are off though.
