Mack B813 Torque Rod replacement
fjh replied to thomastractorsvc's topic in Driveline and Suspension
yup this will be a tough one Pai has the mounting brackets and thats it ! There used to be a kit for these but not anymore you could try droping some big flat washers behind the ball socket incert -
its at the rear of the water rail Nate I believe its 1/2 inch npt not btp
-
Yup same mind set there!😎The fact he’s making 35 psi says he’s putting down some decent power to the ground most 460 s make that kind of boost 38 -40 it’s the best I’ve seen out of 460 with an xt file!
-
Good points pro I never thought about piston charges that could change the outcome! So I may be out to lunch🤔
-
Geoff ! I had a customer that has been running this system on a M11 powered louisville dump truck for a lot of years he used three car fans and had room for more It works fine for him ! That said I don't know how it would be on something with 500 plus pulling huge weight and hills! Around town work its a decent way to go! that said if it were a great idea the the bigg guys would have been using it! Volvo now uses a two speed water pump ! 😡 more shit to go wrong!
-
thats including filters pan holds 28!
-
I done so many oil changes on those couldn’t help but remember a besides it’s the esi is the same amount of oil for the v8 which I had lots of experience with also!😂
-
Take a pic of the oil pan from the side the esi pan hangs down aprox 13 inches tha standard pan ten!
-
If you have three filters it is 52 litres 32 if it’s a standard pan two filters
-
My opinion ! 18 -22 any where in that neighborhood is going to be fine ! Most times the timing that is picked is for factory emissions! Not for power! You could try going higher if you want I would not go past 24! If you don’t have a pyro get one you odviously have a boost gauge and water temperature important! Go with what you see and feel! just my opinion!
-
If the lifter thing doesn’t prove out try swapping injectors! They can sometimes cause a tick! If the sound moves you know you have it!
-
Unfortunately know one knows the real end game!The prez has something up his sleeve! Hope he shows his hand soon! Lot of people going to start hurting!
-
Exactly! well said! The united nations of trucks is now going to feel the heat I do feel bad for the folks that are loosing employment thou! Volvo sources there parts from every dollar store they can deal with on earth! That said the Mack name would be long gone with out them ! If that's saying anything!?
-
Which expensive part to load the canon with! Could be this could be that there aren’t many cheap and easy things on this stuff! And now with tariffs oh boy watch out! I hear now Mack is cutting back on building and laying off people! Good luck even getting parts!
-
So not including labor how much money did this wild goose chase cost steeler just wondering how much Volvo gets to make on this adventure !
-
You got 44 diffs that is a weight packin unit!
-
That’s what they do best !😂
-
I am familiar with the MGM! Just never seen the ones in the pic!
-
Don't know about the the rest of the folks but I have never seen brake chambers like the ones used there! Are these common in Europe?
-
You got a hand in this Kevin?🤔

You need to check is all! If you don’t have or can’t get the tool your other option is to pull the trans and stand it on the bell housing! -
Yup for sure! Thous days are gone most of this new stuff is only a tow job ! Impossible to bandaid! This generation of “ Teck’s “ know one wants to get cold and dirty!
-
I went on a service call once where a guy was pulling a load of logs up a grade hit some ice then some traction and popped all three ujoints! Drive shafts on the ground as well as the steady bearing! As fortune had it there was a slidder at the top of the hill I ended up pulling it up the hill to avoid having the same issue same day! Shock load can be catastrophic!
-
Loose valve seats were fairly common on the two valve heads v8 and 6 they usually didn’t have smoke issues thou! Until we get some more info most things have been discuss ! 4 valve engines rarely dropped seats v8 was quite common! If a seat has partly dropped a seat the symptoms would fit the crime check your turbo exhaust wheel for nicks or chunks out of it!
