Hello. I am a ase certified auto tech. I have been working on cars/trucks/diesel's for 23 yrs. Recently I was offered a job at a small metal fab. company to service thier forklifts. The owner of the company was displeased with the work from the tech's he had been useing, so he offered me the position of servicing & repairing his equipment. I rebuilt some tilt cylinders & mast cylinders on a mitsubishi FG40 & everything turned out good. To cut to the chase, He has a Baker B80PD. Someone installed a new long-block (Deutz Diesel) engine runs fine but truck has never moved since engine change! Brake's dont seem to be binding, posibly air traped in drive system? I would like to chat with someone that knows anything regarding this issue! I must say that I enjoy working on lift trucks & never imagined how much money there is to be made vs. automotive repair! Any feed back would be appreciated! "Like GI. JOE sayed: "Knowing is half the battle"!
