Hi there! Thanks for keeping this site up and going. It is a very useful tool. Just an FYI: I have 3 browsers on my Mac (Firefox, Chrome and Safari). The site doesn't work on the first two (can't find the menu on the left red margin) and in Safari I can't get the search bar to work. I...

Just an update in case anyone else encounters these issues. I followed the instructions in the manual for adjusting the brakes as well as the push rods on the master cylinders and it solved my problems! I don't know enough to explain it, but my brakes have been solid for over a week now. I did...

I'm curious to know if you ended up finding the solution to your problem? I also have a 6441 and it has recently become much more finicky about cold starts (below 32 F). Now if I forget to plug it in and temps are in the 20's I have to cycle the plugs 2-3 times. It has always been a little...

Thanks to you both for your insight. I checked the free play. Definitely not the culprit. For the time being, both brakes will get some pressure after being pumped repeatedly, but lose it as soon as released. Gonna swap out the masters. For learning's sake: When the masters go bad like this...

I'm sorry I never thanked you for this input. The problem resolved itself and I never checked back for an answer after that. Sure appreciate all you smart folks' input!

Thank you sir! I will read up on push rods before asking for more detail. I appreciate the insight.

Hi! I have an '05 Proxima 6441. The brakes have gotten very bad. The left brake will not even build pressure when pumped, and the right brake requires several (2-4) pumps before it engages. I cannot locate any external leaks anywhere in the system. Also the brake fluid level has not changed...

Can anyone direct me to a parts diagram for the reverser lever connections? I have an 05 6441 and the reverser lever just sheared off today :-/ ??? It has been unusually cold (-20 or lower) but I'm surprised since I've never had to force the lever I can't understand how it weakened. I'd like...

I have an 05 6441. In the last two days the stop light on the left side of the dash has been coming on. Initially it was only at idle, but now I have to push the throttle up to 11 or 1200 rpm before it goes out. No other lights come on along with this. Fluids are good (levels and quality). I...
