Hey all. I have a '91 379LN. After the mechanic adjusted my clutch, the Jake stopped working. I told him that I wanted to fix the problem so I can learn. He told me to look at the fuel injector switch on the engine.
From the clutch pedal to the engine cavity is all mechanical. I fail to see the relationship, but what do I know.
So, any advice from my fellow "Logistical Engineers"?
Where is the fuel injector switch on 3406b cat engine

There's a cut out switch on the clutch linkage for the jake brake also
Since your clutch was just adjusted that clutch switch could very well be out of adjustment
The throttle cut out switch is on the very back of the fuel pump its alittle black box with 2 wires going to it you adjust in or out to complete the circuit for your jake brake when the foot throttle is depressed.. it opens the contacts to break the circuit when you release the foot feed peddleCoolbreezin and Roger McG Thank this. -
If the clutch was adjusted and the switch on the pedal is out of adjustment now the clutch wasnt adjusted right . That would mean the pedal isnt coming back as far as it was before , sounds like the clutch wasnt adjusted at all only the linkage . It should have been adjusted under the tranny . Which shouldnt change the pedal position , only the free play

This is the throttle switch on mine. It also adjusts low idle rpm.
It is on the back of the pump, low and near the block.
Like others have mentioned it seems more likely that it is an issue with the clutch cut-out switch. I don't know on your truck, but look for a switch with a spring on it either in the cab on the clutch pedal or linkage, or on the clutch linkage under the cab.Coolbreezin and Last Call Thank this. -
Clutch pedal position was changed when the clutch was adjusted. Either the adjustment was done incorrectly or it was previously incorrect and the mechanic set the linkage back to where it was supposed to be.
