E-6 Break valve
Ralph, what is an e-6 valve? Any thing that is threaded and
buggered up with patina and crud, I wire brush, then spray with PB Blaster (Nappa), then wrap up in paper towle strips,then soak the strips with PB blaster spray, give it time to soak . Casted parts that have threads seem to stay clean if you plug the threads up with teflon paste even if the thread fit is not intended to be water tight (like a jic/flare).

Greg, I'm glad you asked. Was wondering too but thought someone would ask.

E-6 Break valve
Ralph,
Just had mine done, the guy was glad to see me drive away, it was a tuff job. When I got home I had to call him to let him know that the retarder wasn't working with the brake. Took it back the next day, he had to open it all up again to get in there and fix it. Forgot to hook something up I guess, it took him most of the day. He was realy glad to see me drive away the second time. Say hi to Charolette! Robert Britton 87FC Hollister, California --- In WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com, "Ralph L.

E-6 Break valve
Ralph, Robert, I gather the E-6 brake controller
assembly is somewhat analogus to a master cylinder. Somewhat in that controlled air pressures from this are sent to diaghrams when the brake treadle is pressed. I also doubt that I would be changing thing out but I would like to know how to detect a faulty one. Did this defective controller show during stardard air brake testing? Sound of air releasing? irratic braking or some other tests?

E-6 Break valve
The E-6 brake valve leaked air on the 78FC33 that I had. As I
remember, there is an exhaust port on the very bottom of it that gets full of crud (from a dirty air system) and hangs partially open and bleeds off the air. Worked OK, but would drain the air tank quickly when shut down. You are correct, the brake pedal is mounted to it and there are about 6 air lines attached.

E-6 Break valve
Would not hold air pressure after shut down, took about an hour or
two to drain the tank. From under the front of the coach I could hear air leaking and was able to isolate it to the break valve. To get to it for repair, the front driver seat needs to be removed and under the carpet there is an access plate to remove. Not much room to work and to many air lines for me to mess with.....but for Ralph it's just a walk in the park, hows the job comming along Ralph?

E-6 Break valve
Hi Robert and everyone from Florida:
Have not gotten back to it as yet, will head home tomorrow to get another valve since the first one was bad out of the box. Fighting the cold in Oklahoma as well. Symptoms were pressing the break pedal and it was soft and leaking air to include air passing out of the spring break valve. New bad valve would leak out of the exhaust on the bottom of the break valve but hold air when pressed. I wish it were a walk in the park, no cut out under the carpet can only get to it behind the headlight, drivers side. Best to your bride, Robert.
