PEIFamily Posted October 31, 2015 Report Share Posted October 31, 2015 I see people saying to use the max brake install for the Gen2 Volvo, but I teed into the lines as shown in the resource.. and here's my outcome: "Cal tapped the Red Brake line for the sensor Tap" - I lost all the air from the truck when that happened.. (saw afterwards it was was one of my tanks..) "Bill B (Bill)" - When I tapped into the gray line and pressed the brake nothing happened.. BUT air was there when I pressed the hand brake.. So it is feeding ONLY that line. Anyone install one of these inside a 2006 Gen 2 Volvo? What line did you use? Truck was stuck in the shop most of the week with a VERY low power issue (lucky if it would go 50mph when bobtailing).. They did another top end (last owner did one before I got the truck but they were suspicious of if it was done) (It had been) and they pulled my pipe, seems the epg shutter was stuck closed and was acting like a brake was on the motor).But She is all ready now with a complete greasing, fresh filters and oil, new rubber, new rim (who knew aluminum rims wear out?? I didn't, one had bad wear marks in it) So I am a few days behind on what I was needing to do to it.. Just started installing the truck boxes this evening.. Leaving Monday so gotta get this fixed up asap.

Mark and Dale Bruss Posted November 1, 2015 Report Share Posted November 1, 2015 On the same page in the Resource Guide are photos of the Doug Franks installation. Substituting an air line to the Hayes controller for the MaxBrake Sensor. More appropriate installation.

PEIFamily Posted November 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2015 Thanks, Will try that route. Any problems removing the plugs? Will it cause leaks if I end up not using that port?

PEIFamily Posted November 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2015 Well, Trip got delayed today to work on it more. Have the hayes working. Never hooked to trailer yet, but have the controller working with the foot brake and trolley brake. It also is routed through the jackalopee. Wiring.. The power came from being fed with the black wire to a inline fuse with a positive connection Blue was fed back to the jackalopee brake control plug. Red (stop light switch), I couldn't reach that darn thing under the dash for the life of me so after speaking to Henry to confirm it would be ok, I ran another line to the #4 on the jackalopee (brake light) and grabbed the feed from there. I wired my 1/4 line to the Tractor Protection Valve in the engine compartment. Directly below the manifold, there is a rubber grommet / plug, I drilled a very small hole through that and feed the 1/4 line into the cab. From there I hooked it up to the hayes. The foot and trolley brakes works fine. Hope this helps you out Roger! 2006 Volvo 670 singled long 2011 Heartland Sundance 3300CK 2006 Smart passion 2001 F350 DRW CREWCAB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PEIFamily Posted November 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2015 Interior shot of where the grommet is. If your truck don't have one, measure both sides and make sure its safe and install one This keeps the controller inside and easily reachable. 2006 Volvo 670 singled long 2011 Heartland Sundance 3300CK 2006 Smart passion 2001 F350 DRW CREWCAB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus it was free My luck, I would have popped one of the plugs out and somehow caused the passthru to self destruct or something lol 2006 Volvo 670 singled long 2011 Heartland Sundance 3300CK 2006 Smart passion 2001 F350 DRW CREWCAB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
