  1. Don’t have answer but will tell my version.  Mp8 water in fuel light come on, (ended up being bad sensor) so changed fuel filters and added a water dispursement liquid that is made by a company that also makes our antigel for winter months.  Never used this product before and won’t again.     Drive for 2 hours and it loses power, make it home change fuel filters and goes great for 2 hours.   Shut off. No filters with me.      Restart and goes great for 2 hours.    Restart then good for 2 hours again,   I see the connection so finally when tanks are almost  completely empty we drain them out the bottom.   Fill with fresh fuel and no trouble ever again.   Is there a pickup screen in the tank plugging and it would clean itself when engine is off?  That was our thoughts and maybe yours.  

  2. Had the same truck with the 9 speed.  Went real well.  More power than the old 350s.   We pulled 100,000 lbs with it and highway was no problem.  Did 75mph so was geared pretty high.   I wouldn't be scared to use it on anything you use.  Our 140,000 lb super b's we used the 427s on but some people used the 350's.  too much for them in my opinion.

  3. 2016 rawhide.  Similar symptoms as yours but when mine wouldn't shift you could hear an air leak as well from inside the bell housing.  Thats where the shift valve is.  Had to get trans removed, valve replaced and did clutch at the same time. Also got software upgrade for trans. Software upgrade was a lot nicer so we took our 2013 in for the update as well and it sure shifts nicer and at better times.  Our lightning bolt would come on when it wouldn't shift and sometimes I had to restart it several times to get going.  Once it was warmed up it was better but not perfect

  4. I need to follow this as well, 2013 i bought this year, 3 hours into first trip I had the same thing but was 45 minutes from home and it gave me 60 minutes.  Did a regen and have never had the issue again.  My 2016 has a soot gauge which is nice to see so you can tell if it needs a regen soon. We're all short hauls so tough to get a good burn some days.

    Where is this speed sensor and how did that let you limp home? Did it give you your speed back?

  5. Our 2013 and 2016 Mack CHU have bulbs for headlights, 9004.   When we update them to LED they will flash on and off inconsistently due to the module not getting enough current.   Found this on Amazon.ca that goes in series that fixes the problem and draws extra current https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B081Q6W3LR/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    I'm not sure how to do the picture of it or if the link will work right from canada

  6. AS far as I know there isn't one.   If you are getting poor air flow it usually plugs up with dust and chaff next to the evaporator inside the cab.  You can remove front panel and pull fan out and blow it back or we quite often remove the screws from the black cover on the passenger side next to the blower fan and can get enough room to clean it out there.   Grain dust fills it nicely.  We have foam screens over the vents outside but they aren't perfect either.
