    Whats wrong with the Mack 13spd if you don't mind me asking?

    For the Eaton you can use either aluminum or cast iron bell housing with the correct clutch release.  You will probably need a longer prop shaft as well.

     

    The cost of repair is whats wrong is the cost of repair is out to lunch  Mack /volvo don't want you to fix things just by new stuff! An eaton is half the cost of the mack trans to overhaul parts Are half the cost of mack parts ! In some defence kw freightliner or pete are no better! Anything dealer specific  bend over!

  2. If the eup swap did not move to the other cyl you either have an injector issue OR a bad valve if its a bad valve you will have blu white smoke

    Pull the injector have it tested! your smoke color sounds injectorish!

    You can also swap the injectors  hole to hole to prove it out!

    Last one I had was on my MH which used the same one as a CL and if I recall I m pretty sure I had to buy the whole slave cylinder for the pedal  because they didn't sell a kit anymore that was about 12 years ago . I think I still have a couple used ones not much to them inside just a couple o rings should be able to find o rings somewhere that will match up.  Mack has just gotten terrible with anything V8 related . Went to my dealer yesterday to price a crankshaft gear cam gear and seals gaskets and a damper for one of mine  they wher just out to lunch . What they were able to fix bs on the computer was priced just totally retarded. Already found a couple other sources so I guess I won't be buying from my Mack dealer .

    There intent is to make the old mack stuff unreachable buy pricing it out to lunch  make it go away ! The dealer is only part to blame  their pricing to the dealer is ridiculous as well the dealer is just passing the gouge on! Look else where! Best aftermarket mack parts is PAI in my opinion!  excellent  pricing compared to the volvo criminals Even for MP and volvo trash parts. AND better warranty!

  6. your tool from the inlet sounds like it worked fine  a  4 inch  piece of 3-  4 inch exhaust pipe ( depending on your cooler) caped off and drilled and  taped  for 1/4 inch pipe thread and a pressure reg set to 40 psi will do the trick

    Good known gauge!

    you can also make the cap  not drill it and back feed from where the puff limiter is installed !

    once you ares sure its tight then we can talk twisting the dogs tale some more!

     

    Just some ideas to giter done!

  7. That turbo should be putting out in excess of what you need to achieve good boost In my opinion ya need to leak check the whole system to the boost your expecting to run , We have an adapter to put into the  After cooler on the turbo side and pressure up the whole system heads and all  ya need to bar the engine around a bit to get the valves in the right spot to pressure it up   or pull the rockers to close the valves .but its the ultimate way to ensure you have no leaks! Stock coolers tend to crack on the hot side top front! There has been instances where boost can be dumped out the Air drier Depending on how you gave the inlet of the compressor plumbed!!

    This can happen on the v8 as well but you would likely hear it unless your running straight pipes!

  8. It is a large solenoid beside the wiper motor that powers the cab accessories including the computers.

    Did you replace this sol???? Key to this is next time it happens check to see if the heater is blowing  if the heater motor is not working the  relay acc solenoid under the dash is toast its under the ash tray to of dash!

    I take it you have the stock air cooler ? Should be plenty big for what your doing.

    Have similar prob , driving down road get steady 50psi ,hook to the sled and flutters between 50 n 60 , trying different air cooler . Martins told me they had same prob on 1st truck they built,

    I had no problem getting 39 psi with stock parts working the truck with under hood air cleaner .

    Is that pump from that engine ? is  timing set for that pump ? Had different timing settings.

    Wow Im surprised you not having issues with that volume of air going thru that filter I've seen that rubber elbow collapse on the single under hood style with a moderately cranked engine  33 psi boost stock turbo! how ever that may have been a washed filter not great for use with a high volume situation ! The timing idea is a possible cause however the engine has been timed from 17 to 24 for different years and horse power ratings.I have had them not run correctly  timed to the number stamped on the pump !  IE: at 17 stamped on the pump  very retarded smokey bump it to 19 or 22 OK .!  In reply to the original poster, as mentioned  you might bump it beyond the pump setting and see if it steps up the game a bit!
