JAKE BRAKE

[truk4u]

When you engage the Jake while coasting the turbo boost will drop to zero

Ah, excuse me Mr. Wornborg, this is not correct! I checked today and my statement about getting boost on the gauge while using the jake is correct. I get 1 - 4 lbs boost when using the jake depending on RPM and when the jake is shut off, boost goes to "0". I remember the series 60 doing the same thing.

It's OK to admit your wrong, it builds character!

Senior moment. Since it is over five years since I drove my Jake equipped bus I was going by memory.

It gets worse Jon. I was forgetting things. I still forget, but now I'm remembering things that never happened!

Thanks Dale. I was going to stock up on Post-Its, but I forgot.

All wires to all solenoids disconnected.

Why?

Based on your post about $4500 my guess would be someone was "fixing" your engine.

In the process they had stuff apart and forgot to put it back together. Maybe they were adjusting the valves. Who knows. One thing is clear, they weren't very good at their job.
