Agreed! This man called a spade a spade ! Its unfortunate , the commanders and chiefs have their blinders on top to bottom in this instance the evidence is was before them and they failed to act ! This disease is like an avalanche picking up speed as it travels down the hill!
-
Well good luck with your reman at least they got a good warranty on them!
-
The wiring should be there even there they are usually tagged the other thing that will have to be done is enable the engine brake function in the vmac software!
-
We just did one of these same deal ! Very possible it was not pressed off correctly but who’s to say! Also just over the warranty period! We had never seen one before either up to that point! No telling how many times the cam gear has been pushed on or off either! ME Personally ! Not a big fan of this design Rather have bolted on gear like the early stuff! Just sayin!
-
Front engine mount is going to be your biggest issue
-
Most everyone will be in trouble soon ! the banks get richer the working man gets stiffed as usual!
-
This whole scenario with KW sounds terribly familiar don't ya think if we don't got it you don't need it! must have hired some ex volvo people!
-
I could possibly be holding air in the brake chamber on the pull side!
-
To add to what Has been said here ! I have seen the ABS modulators sticK and hold just a tad bit of air in the line and not through code! check this is not happening just crack the air line loose on the side its pulling to!
-
Worth a try in my mind Your headed in the direction of removing the head anyway! pull the manifold and set the engine with the exhaust valves open and give it a shot in my mind its worth a Go! You got NOTHIN to loose Just sayin
-
Good eye Buddy they almost look like RS tanks!
-
If the history is unknown on this engine You should change out your rocker bolts if you haven't already! DON'T TRUST THEM! Its and un written rule at our place to replace these if we don't have history of replacement ! had a few bad experiences!
-
E6 Is is standard thread I believe! The e7 lines are metric! You pretty much need the fuel line set up from a donor engine! vmac lines are totally different guess you could disable the syncro vance and leave it in place! Don't know never tryed this!
-
Guys I think if we save enough people they will still be able to pay taxes!Now Thats Important!
-
Good call! also make sure your hood boot is sealing on the hood this will throw a 270 code!
-
Hopefully there solution for you is working good and maybe if they lurk here they may find the solution for your old truck in this post!
-
So an update if you guys are interested a shot in the dark hit the target .after all the data capture and other bs bla bla bla the boys took a stab at thinking outside the E service shit and checked the Venturi tube found it was obstructed replaced the tube and sensor and all is good power is back and the boost no longer has fluctuations ! They thru 10000 at this with the help from e service guys hopefully they will pay us for the actual fix! We didn’t ask just did it.🙏
-
CLEARIFY PLEASE! FULLER OR MACK! Fuller REQUIRES 50w! Also (either or trans ) You could have an internal air leak you need to address!
-
So what fixed it Joe’
-
Don't ever recall seeing an AI engine in an RD ! However don't mean it ain't so ! The first AI engines appeared on the seen here in the CV models! And the first real issues we had with them was the fan hub bearings failing in short order And Having a huge back log on hubs ended up having to buy bearings and rebuilding the hubs as a get by till the hubs were available for warranty purposes!
-
Yup It is what it is! Also in that model year if the ecu Sees any more than 33 psi boost it will derate you So trying to get any more out of it is quite difficult! That is a good find thou ! RD SX One tough truck
-
Can't wait man going to be awesome !
-
Yup its not getting air if you got smoke check the Intake system for leaks!
-
Not A problem Bro I ain't involved ! Unfortunately the data capture didn't show what is really going on boost is fluctuating under a steady hard pull makes one think it's either something to do with the EGR valve or VGT controlment ! Its all rumor from my prospective the boys at our other shop are fighting this one! would Be interesting to get to the bottom of it! It may end up like your situation who knows! They won't let us throw parts at it and rightfully so I suppose!
-
Thanks for reporting in Bro! Congrats ! semi Good news I suppose ! Would have been better You had no issues to start out with! however See what happens I guess Good Luck with this new found happiness hopefully all will proceed without any more glitches ! We are fighting with a simular issue as your old truck at the moment, We are getting the same blank stare from mother Mack , so hopefully we will find something on our own! Low power and pulsing boost for no good reason! the data capture prooved didly skwat ! c what happens I guess!
