[Oletrucks] Question

[Bill Hanlon]

One thing Smokey.  I assumed that this problem did not occur when the brake system was first installed and that it occurred after some period of time.  Is that correct?  

 

The last time I saw your truck (I think it was at the Conroe swap meet, maybe 10-20 years ago) I think it had a standard transmission.  Does it still?

Sound to me like you have an air leak in the brake booster.  If you have a vacuum gauge, connect it to manifold vacuum, start the engine, note the gauge reading, press the brake pedal slowly while watching the gauge.  It should stay pretty much the same.  If it starts dropping before the engine stalls you’ve found the culprit.

 

Did you ever get your dim headlight problem solved?

My 1950 3600 has a 1957 235 engine.  I have aftermarket disc brakes.  Every time I step on the brake the engine dies.  So far 2 mechanics have no idea what's happening here.  Any advice?

 

Thanks!
