  1. Yup Agreed! Have seen way to many of these fail in the same way! best solution is the above ! I wish they would go back to the old style notch adjuster on the easy pedal platform! Don't early see any advantage to the wrench winder!
  2. AGREE!
  3. First thing is thing is the throw out bearing is not being greased from what I can see there! It is possible the clutch adjustment is out of whack the linkage needs to be set so as when the pedal Just reaches the floor the brake just contacts the face of the clutch! if it was set To deep and the previous driver was in the habit of pushing the clutch to the floor with the truck in gear and rolling it will wipe the brake out! wrong thing to do poor driving habits!
  4. Ah yup that’s true of that era still looks to had no coolant! Straight water is not the best for them blocks. Hope you didn’t hit the crank jacking them liners out!😢
  5. Looks like there was no coolant in that! Straight water probably killed it ,to bad ! It pays to run antifreeze and a change the coolant filter once and a while! Check your counter bores closely!
  6. just a cummins they have there issues!
  7. Give us a Side view! How thick?
  8. Bro I think turbo washer now I know the size seen this before turbo gave out at som point . you have only had this truck for a year do you have history on the unit bet it had a turbo failure!
  9. Eup cap? Doing retainer maybe don’t no how it could get out of the lifter thou?
  10. Hard to tell the size of it. could be a turbo washer from a previous failure hopefully a valve spring it can be replaced in frame!
  11. In the vmac III program you should be able to see the temps the ambient air is seeing the inlet air temp should be visible as well ! Is it possible they bent a pin on the ECU while installing the new Harness?
  12. correct it may have stuck after sitting wouldn't fuss if it has no code now! How old is the oil! Maybe change the oil !When its working correctly , It gets its orders from the the ecu the timing event marker and the cam sensor according to temp ect!
  13. Is the code still active? The if the timing advance is working you should not have smoke if it’s not working and smoking blu white smoke the screens in the timing Solenoid could be plugged up with goo!
  14. Disconnect the big plug at the engine ECU and wash the oil out with brake clean see how that goes for ya! just something to try! This was a common issue at one point!
  15. Is It coding when it derates? if its producing any more than 33 psi boost it may d rate!
  16. as much as the above statment is some what true have you checked for boost leaks? your pyro is to way high!
  17. The offset and Taper helps align the teeth with friction when the shift is make your fuller trans has the same set up however much simpler in design and Less complicated! And way Cheaper to Repair IF it fails!! Make sure all the pieces marked R are faceing Rear and your good to go! That set up sed to be offered as a pre assembled unit just drop the discs and seperators in and go! if I remember right!
  18. You don't often see the plate carrier busted up that bad ! usually the clutch and reaction discs are toasted ! was the yoke bolt tight? Yup this is why Daves comment is somewhat valid! The price gouge on those is your next hurdle! Volvo wants you to buy a new truck So Those parts will not be cheap! That same failure on a fuller When it does happen which is not that often ! will cost a 1/3 or less than the Mack parts! They are going to ask you if you would like it dri or lubricated BEND OVER BUD! . Check out PAI for part pricing! That being said These tranys have put food on my table for a lot of years ! Just like injector cups will make work for the new generation of guys for a few more years!!
  19. WE HAVE A TAKE OUT 460 ! CALL RYAN @ NANANAIMO MACK COM ! 2507580185
  20. Top REAR engine mount rubbers removed the trans should clear the x member shift cyl on!
  21. Just my opinion the CL is the easiest truck to work on if the truck has no pto ! take the trans out stand it on end and Take it apart that way! also if this trans has Cummins in front of it the job gets more complicated the tail shaft bearings have to be set in the press! And there may be an extra spacer you'll need to buy from mack to set the preload! You could wait for days for the plate to do a job in the truck once on the ground you don’t need the plate. The spacer you may need was updated from a crush sleeve to a solid unit of varying to be determined thicknesses! Also if your determined to do this yourself ,Price your parts thru PAI quite a bit cheaper than Mack stuff and as good quality! As for the shift cyl I would leave it alone the seals in that a quite durable unlike the range clutch! 😒nuf said!😁 again an opinion!
