brettj3876 Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 My old man is looking at an 03 460 with 825,000 236k on an inframe 13sp and 3.55s for 21k, southern truck no rust and has all maint. records. Seller says its an aset motor. What do we need to look out for as far as the engine is concerned? Can we convert it to an etech w/old style turbo? My dad can rebuild an e7 with his eyes closed but has never been around their aset engine. Been told the vgt turbo has been a big issue and are cams still an issue for the 2003?More than a few people have told us to reflash the ecm with the 427 settings. A 427 with same spec's would out gun my dads last pre egr 460 on the hills. Most likely I'm gonna be the one running the truck for my old man, pulling a flat all around the north east. I've never driven a mack before. All my experience has been with Detroit dd15 and cummins isx, all epa10 enginesSweet forum guys my dad will love this site he's die hard mack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlange Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 427 program lugs better. I have a 2005 410 with 850k. By those miles yours should have the updates done. Check center of exhaust manifolds for cracks, look at egr cooler ( if ac engine) for white crust around it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
