Bottom line is at the time they found someone that could build a cheap line to replace the original vendors line! They were hurting for money at that point it was just before the swedes bought in and they were cutting corners to save a buck! It didn't work!They spent more money trying to fix the problem than had they stuck with the original supplier!Poor design poor quality materials! just My observation!We had zero problems to that point! They have obviously now enhanced the dollarstore line we now have very few if any issues! If any!

Yup look no farther than a faulty fuel line as stated above they a trash! They changed to a dollar store supplier back in or around the time the ac ai engines production began !These lines were a one use line! And even At that they failed!

There is a lock out pin in the shift knob on the range lever remove it!

Yes and no! i'm sure there are more forces at work here that I know about However! In ( my opinion) the design of the hold down is flawed ! Bolt is to small on the hold down for starters and the leverage on the injector is borderline for the job its doing ! And they have jumped from the pot into the fire by changing from the flat washer seal to the tapper seal exposing more surface area to combustion pressure ! But I would admit to not being an engineer ! Just an observer!😁

And the oil level sensor and the blow by sensor! Just sayin check all of them dollarstore sensors! Off subject a bit but still related to the dollarstore comment ,we had headlight issue on a truck here yesterday the day time running lights did not function installed a new module still no worky checked the wiring and vecu OK tryed Another new module no worky ! Cowoeker had a good runner module stashed in his collection of breakers and spare parts BINGO Work like A charm! exsact same number tryed another DLR from our stock nope no worky got to send the whole works back to the Volvo /Mack superdollarstore for credit and go to PAI to by parts I guess????

Don't get me wrong either I have absolutely no use for most politicians! Specially silver spooners!! How ever my first comment still stands in my mind the attitude of society has changed in the last 10 years finally ! However The timing of sum of these events as of late is questionable ! The length of time between the alleged crime and now is a bit extreme!This stuff is happening way to often as of late !had she brought the subject up even 5 years ago It would have been more credible In my mind And we likley would not be talking about this here today!

Bummer! Your contributions here are horribly valuable! However! You And I have the same outlook On the product/Industry I believe ! Big race to the bottom.😣

Hey Pro Did you bail ! On your job?

Yup Its sad! if that woman had spoken up years ago It would have been MAYBE somewhat more credible as it is In my mind she wasting everyones time! And screwing with peoples lives!

Probably has a tariff on it or their withholding it Cause we haven't given in to the big dictators nafta demands! 😂

You could have the beginnings of Idle gear failure there You might consider not running it much longer till you have checked into it more closely! expensive shit to repair specially if it craters totally!

Amen

Nothing wrong with that vid rider Good job buddy! I didn't listen to the audio! and you may have mentioned this , With just hand tools it would likely take a tad longer than 10 mins but definitely Worth Packing the pieces! A good investment in my opinion .is A battery powered 1/2 inch impact . And an extra deep 3/4 impact socket Made for the release bolt. Makes the job a snap!👍 There are some shortcuts to that project however you got the point across! If A person is smart he/she packs a spare Piggyback kit in the truck !

So I thought I would up date this post a little ! The last diff that I repaired And slathered the bolt with RED locktight lasted approx A year and a half! We replaced that diff with a REMACK Diff That diff lasted 1 Month and a few DAYs !We have since replaced That diff With yet Another REMACK diff at the discretion of the Eservice Guys And Before installation WE Lock tighted the Bolts In Hopes having this poor guy being able to work for a year or so before it blows up again ! 4 Fricking diffs in the time frame of 2 years! Not acceptable in my mind ! Moral of the story! Quit messing with tried and true designs ! Three bolts are better than one!

These days It seems that over 80 percent of most downtime issues are emission related! Correct me If I'm wrong I Believe in the late eighties and early nintey's there was a seven year Warranty on emissions devices imposed on manufacturers ? If manufactures of today we mandated by law and had to source reliable sensors and wiring we would have more reliable equipment! Thoughts anyone!

The timing is done by the computer the pumps are electric the older set up is electricly governed the timing is selected totally by the computer!

Unplug the ecu and check the pins

Not positive I believe 1/2 inch

Yup that’s the best way

Turn up the tunes bro

There is a saying at our shop ! IT ain't sold till the name is on the door And the tail lights Are heading out the Driveway!🙄

Please clarify is the trans NEW/Reman? Or did you replace the range valve on the top of the Trans? Does the Truck Have A cummins or Mack Engine Eaton or Mack 18sp ! Mack !!!!! Check to see that the out put yoke is tight!!! If it has a cummins and a mack trans the loose yoke issue becomes more complex!

TDC Is TDC TIMING IS TIMING The cam / crank marks will line up on tdc #1 the valves on number six should be on the rock!

On truck one you say the rockers are fine rule that out I have only 3 thoughts The Valves were set wrong to start with if thats possible ! Or the cam gear has slipped on the cam its self never seen that happen.............. The valve guides were to tight of tolerance when assembled if they are reman that is possible and have seen it happen! observation! \As for truck two Judging by the work done my guess will been incorrect liner height ! low spec is 22 which is borderline usable! in my opinion! your allowed 00.2 thou between liners under one head This is some times hard to acheive when shimming liners you need to sometimes drifit them several times to get it right I believe the guy who installed the liners didn't spend the time to check his work the finished product before the heads went on ! Have also seen this happen There are things the Book don"t tell you and this is double check your work BEFORE the heads go on A good liner height for these Is 24-28 anything in between or slightly above is OK! and the spec between liners should be strictly adhered to! Zero Variation is best In my opinion but not always attainable This is where your issue lies in my opinion! Could be right out to lunch on this but judging from your comments its my guess! Just my 2 cents! 2

Yup that is a possible cause how ever you would think after AS many clutches and look sees this unit has under gone someone would have at least mentioned the shaft had some wear to it, but also knowing the lack of caring ( don't give a shit attitude) a lot of society has today ! I guess its possible it has been overlooked! Like I said I'm confused!
