ArdWrknTrk Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 I think we are still talking about two different pages as those are the 2nd and 3rd illustrations from the page at Documentation/Fuel Systems/Air Cleaners. I'm guessing that the way I have the pages set up is causing you to go to another page than that one. Can you give me the URL of the one you are looking at? Figure 8-5 on pg 68. There are four frames in one illustration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sac79 Posted July 3, 2020 Author Share Posted July 3, 2020 Oh, ok. We are, quite literally, on the same page. Eddy still has a few gremlins(front brakes and oil in the combustion chamber being main ones). But for now I'm using him 'as is'. This was the first trial load, a yard of 'damp' mulch... It carried the load with ease, but I would probably stick with a yard at a time. The next load was more of a challenge, a yard of clumpy wet fill dirt... I probably won't do this one again. I will need a few more loads of dirt, but it will be sifted topsoil and I'll only take it if it's dry. The suspension still had a couple of inches, maybe 3 before bottoming out, but there was significantly less than that between the bigger tires and the fender. Still, Eddy came through his first trial like a champ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sac79 Posted July 9, 2020 Author Share Posted July 9, 2020 TOO nice for a work truck! 😉 I did a bit more driving yesterday. First I went to fill the jerry cans for the lawn mower fuel. I took Eddy instead of the Toyota to stretch his legs again with some enthusiastic driving. When I got to the gas station the throttle remained open when I stopped(at about 1200RPM or so), a blip of the peddle got it back down to idle. I popped the hood to check the cable, but nothing appeared out of place. Maybe I should add the aftermarket return spring back on the bracket... After dropping off the fuel at home it was back out to get more mulch. But as I was starting the truck at home there was an explosion of sorts under the driver's side dash! It happened as I turned the key, the starter might have turned, but the truck did not start. It was a burst of air with some foam pieces hitting my legs, that was soon followed by some smoke(could have been vapor, there was no burning smell)... I got out to look underneath there, but could not see anything smoldering and the smoke soon dissipated... At a loss for what it could have been and not wanting to leave the truck in the middle of the driveway, I tried to start it back up. And it did, first time. I left it running and checked everything electrical, all worked. I backed down to the basement garage where I could leave it if there was an issue. Got back out, checked under the dash again, checked under the hood. It was hot under the hood, but other than that, I couldn't see anything out of place. When I tried to start it again, the starter turned over real slow. I think I've read somewhere that can happen when it gets real hot? I tried it again and it fired up. So hoping for the best I went ahead and picked up the mulch, two loads of 1.5 yards. No dramas. I did notice that applying the brake pedal elicited a 'woosh', more so when stationary. The pedal is still firm and the braking appears unaffected. Definitely wasn't there before the 'explosion' though. I thought the foam might have been from the piece around the rod coming from the booster, but no, that's still in place. And why would the booster have done anything starting the truck? Surely it had to have been something to do with the ignition. But if there was an electrical fault, it would now be broken? No idea what happened. Any thoughts?

Is your truck air conditioned? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds like maybe you had a backfire through the carb. That will pressurize the intake and push pressure into the brake booster. I wonder if it can blow into the cab when that happens? And that would explain why you have a whooshing sound when you hit the brakes - the booster is probably blown. There are tests for the booster on the page at Documentation/Driveline/Brakes and on the Overall tab and then the General Brake Service tab. Page 5.

If you remove the check valve at the booster inlet -with the engine off- you should hear a woosh, because the booster (should be) vacuum tight.
