    How is the spot beneath the inner bearing for wear? The stemco idea is a good one however you need the proper install tools! Stemco makes a seal called a voyager seal it is similar to the scott seal and national seals thou! the other issue is the older 44s used to run a spacer behind the bearing may be an issue With the gritguard not sure I would clean the surface real well and install what you have with a skim of good quality silicone on the sealing surface clean and dri! all bets are off if the inner bearing is worn into the spindle!

    fjh replied to Bahrain's question in Mack Truck Q & A

    Bro you need to leave more info If you need help ! leave us what lead up to this ! did it just start out of the blue? has it been getting worse over time,? is there or has there been a check engine light on on the dash ? that kind of stuff! too much stuff on these new trucks to go sideways! to just give a one size fits all answer! also is it an MP7 Or MP8 -MP10 model of truck would help as well ! we can't tell a whole bunch By Just A VIN!

    Yup ever since fuller went to a straight thread on that fill plug they can be a bear to get out the nut is a Real good idea!

    Just my opinion ! In My mind the RD was Tougher design than the value liner! Wasn't a big fan of the straight frame trucks ! Kev wasn't the end of the valueliner or eastern trucks kind of a political move to close that plant ?I heard they had big quality control issues at that plant! ?

    Lots of mods to fit it have seen it done once!
  8. fjh
    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!

    AGREE!

    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!

    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!😢

    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!

    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!
  16. fjh
    Eup cap? Doing retainer maybe don’t no how it could get out of the lifter thou?
  17. fjh
    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!

    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?
  19. fjh
    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!
  20. fjh
    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!
  21. fjh
    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!
  22. fjh
    Good Job Bro!
  23. fjh
