  1. Yup more Dollerstore issue parts by the Volvo corp! Good to know! Thanks! I was looking At the their offerings for clutches and wondered! you answered little My inner voice question ! We hopefully will stick with the tried and true Eaton stuff In that regard ! I have no control as to what I am handed to install unfortunately! We have asked several times to go back to the delco reman stuff At least you only do them once! Falls on Def ears!
  2. I'm not sure how many of you here are still with a dealer how ever ! I have a question for those who are! Are you guys having this road choice line of parts jammed down your throats ? And are you having any luck with it? So far we have been selling these starters and have a fairly high failure rate 50/50. Brake chambers have been good How ever the electrical stuff I'm just Not sold on it! We have starters piling up by the scrap bin No core on these ( VERY WASTEFULL) Definatley creating work for our selves selling this stuff ! Not so much for happy customers thou! 😑
  3. Yup the Evil Volvo Corp is now related to Huawei ! Sold down the river AGAIN!
  4. Your better off taking it to a shop and having them build an exhaust system even at shop rate it will be much cheaper! I would estimate maybe 600 to eight hundred bucks at the high end! also if they quoted you in chrome and there was no stock check to see if there is stock on the non chrome version! Also is the muffler mounted beneath the truck? that will be the only wild card!
  5. I have a thought ! Do it in order of ease if there is such a thing specialy if its an MR ! Remove the turbo hose to the after cooler so it will not build boost at all! run the engine( N/A ) See if this condition persists! This would nail it down to the head area ! then proceed to your cup theory then move on to the head gasket theory if the cups don't show up anything ! just a thought!
  6. I know that it isn't leaking coolant anyway. how did you determine this !? just askin!
  7. Yup dumber than a truck load of Fire wood and not even as useful !
  8. Easier stuff first rad cap , egr cooler ! Is it throwing up any codes?
  9. So did you dig in to this yet steeler?
  10. Inlet manifold!
  11. No the lid would have to come off to do it correctly! If you remove just the small rear cap it would be just a look see thing!to clean out any oil ect! you can try it!
  12. I would be checking the air pressure at the shift lid forward hose on the small cyl should be around 70 psi ! you could also as stated remove the end of the rev cyl and check for oil build up! also due to its age consider removing the shift lid and re oring the whole unit ! Not really that hard to do in a CL !
  13. They might give you national fleet price on the Volvo lube or you can try the jobber branded stuff ! Less lubricity though ! 😁
  14. Even thou this here is an outrages price Bro! And We all think / know that We are being gouged ! Volvo /Mack Are Not The only thieves Out there ! Nope! Don't think for one moment KW ,Pete ,freightliner ,Cat Aren't Doing the same thing ! Just imagine the gouge before it hits the dealer ! Then he has to keep his doors open! And They Really gotcha if you can't buy it a the local hardware or auto store ! The Captive stuff ! Turbos , orings , injectors . bla bala! Bend over pal ! Would you like it dri or lubricated? 😑
  15. Ok SO My bid is 35.99 plus applicable taxes! You Need It THEY Got it ! The Sky is the limit!
  16. Did you check the boys at the alt it maybe an actual problem! You should confirm
  17. I believe there was an elite trim package offered back then! Usually a wood grain dash! Made of real plywood. That usually went along either the yellow! Kevin may chime in with better info for ya!πŸ˜‡
  18. Are you using the Eaton Easy pedal clutch? If so the clutch needs to be set in this order ! To take advantage of the Over center nature of the easy pedal clutch you likely already know this however I will state it again ! Set the cable so the clutch brake engages RIGHT AT THE FLOOR! THE LAST 1/2 TO 1/4 inch should be CLUTCH BRAKE ONLY! Then adjust your winder inside so that you have the 1/2 inch - 9/16 Gap at the release bearing as required to achieve the necessary 1- 1/2 free pedal in the cab ! If its set this way Then ,I don't have any solutions to your problem other wise I have never ran into the 3 week issue your claiming here Fuller or Mack trans other than a bad cable! And I been at this a fair few years! just sayin!
  19. Nope they bin doing it for yearS like this something else is causing this!
  20. Yup this is like the Gas or electric company would say! Call Before you dig!
  21. That auto shift still uses a clutch pedal !? Me thinks! An eighteen might be an option!
  22. Tech BE NICE now πŸ˜‚ ! If it is a mack trans it sounds like it is You could have ! A loose trans yoke bolt check that first ! if its tight the trans lid has to come off to check to see that the shift rail bolt has not come loose! Not a field fix! Chances are the range pack is worn now eitherway the trans needs the back section off it and repaired and unless you got tools for the job you can't do it inframe Trans has to come out!πŸ˜’ Wild can take over from here. Poke poke jabπŸ˜€ don’t worry buddy your not alone!
  23. Thanks to BULLHEADED !!!!! Cleared it all up for us! It ALL BECOMES CLEAR NOW !!!!! SO THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED! http://www.mcall.com/business/mc-biz-mack-trucks-hagerstown-maryland-employees-find-marijuana-20191106-ukaof5x4bfhtramfzle4hd6yhm-story.html?fbclid=IwAR3k-46T2woJyx8IlU-FqaydMqMCDuO0-GK_evtsOHlYhhAky2fuLtYS6b4
