Here is a link to the Pacbrake lube instructions: http://www.pacbrake.com/index.php?page=maintenance-4
On my Cummins it is on top of the engine and the easiest way to get to it is by lifting the hatch on the bedroom floor. I don't know where it is on a Cat.
Larry and Heidi Lee:
Hey George, on my 05 Monterey the air actuator is located under the upper engine cover in front of the bedroom closet. You'll need to just follow the air lines from the actuator down to the solenoid. The air solenoid itself was buried under a bunch of wiring and was a royal b**** to reach so I ended up making a bracket and mounting it up on top where it can be easily serviced in the future. It amazes me that the failure of this little device that fits in your hand nearly killed me while decending the Kingsbury grade in Tahoe. :o
George H. Wall:
Thanks for the reply, I'll look for it when I get a chance as I bought some of the lube for it!!

Does the Pacbrake light go off and on while it's malfunctioning? If so, it could be a defective switch on your console.
I added a foot switch to mine several years ago. It's a lot easier to find than the switch on the console when in a hurry to start slowing down. It has the added advantage of being momentarily on, so shutting it off involves simply lifting my foot. I use the console switch on long grades.
