FQ13 Load Sensing

This will I learned about the shuttle valve that controls the pressure change to the main valve. There was a bad o'ring for that valve so the pressure was staying at idle and not going up causing the processor it's in to not feed logs.

FQ13 Electronic Brake Booster

This week I have learned a lot about electronic brake boosters and the way they work. I put together a electronic brake boosters that runs of the main reservoir of ATF for the entire machine. The machine is a champion grader that has a electronic brake booster that goes into the normal booster in case of engine shut off. It's amazing how simple the designee of the system is and how well it works.

FQ13 Parisitic Draws

I learned about parasitic draws this week and all the ways to find them. It helped to think clearly and logically when finding the draw. It's easy to get frustrated trying to find the draw but if you keep a clear head and work through the processes to find the draw it becomes much easier. what hindered me at first was I was trying to think of all the possibilities before testing any circuits. From now on I will just think of the process of testing and making sure to start at the battery and to remember most modern cars take time to time out which can make it hard to sort out the draw from the car not timing out.

SPQ13 PM Greasing

During PM on the Peterbilt I greased 51 zerk fitting. Some of the fittings were really straight forward and out in the open but the were a few hidden in tight places. Here are some picture of some easy ones to find and some more difficult ones.



This is a remote greasing plate for some harder to reach zerk fitting.

This fitting was on the right side rear drum brake arm and it was tucked under everything and would be easy to miss.

 

Usually right here there would be two zerk fitting for the transmission and the throughout bearing but this truck had a remote greasing plate by the engine for quick access

SPQ13 PM Filters

The oil filter is Fleetguard LF9001. This filter needs to be changed every oil change. The fuel filter is Fleetguard FS19764. The diesel exhaust fluid filter is Fleetguard A028Y794. The air filter in the system has a suction gauge that will read red when the filter starts to clog up.
