New trucker, new truck..big oil leak

The big main hydraulic cylinders are notorious for leaking and getting oil everywhere as well man. I hate an oil leak.

That shift cable on the PTO don't look to be in the best of shape.
When the PTO pump went bad on our 96 Pete 357 Dump we went ahead and ditched the cable and put an air shifter on it since the oil was out and the pump was off.

I had to drain 15 gallons of hydraulic oil and all the transmission oil out. Then take the PTO pump off and take the PTO shifter off of the pump and take it down to the guys that sell them and tell them that we wanted an Air operated PTO shifter.

Of course the Tower control had to be changed to air and some small DOT air lines had to be run.

These are my favorite style Air Shifters but the one in my KW looks more like the expensive Muncie control. I'm sure its an aftermarket from Global parts.

Hey Gix1k! Are you already into dump trucking and just branching out with your own truck?
Do you have work lined up for it already?

I was wondering and you may have mentioned it already but how much did the inframe kit cost?

 

I'd check the fluid level in your transmission. It could be leaking between pump and trans or just a loose hydraulic fitting on the pump, or residual oil from engine.

I'd give back or sell that interstate-mcbee in frame kit. Not heard a lot good about them in a cat.

 

Not if you have to do it twice

 

Hope you have better luck with finding a driver then I did. Was paying 22.00 an hour driving a tri axle dump truck 12-13 hours a day and nobody wanted to drive they got burnt out to many hours,had to sell the truck. Bunch of bums.

 

Same here. Compaq.

 

Around here I am sure for that money finding a driver wouldn't have been hard.
