Love it when a plan comes together ! I have always wanted to try that however being in the Mack business have never been able to try We are always expected to do it Properly and to sell the right parts to do the job correctly! Even new the clutch slot has lots of room for movement So building it up likley won't hurt anything other than the possibility of creating a hard area on the fork that could eventually break How ever as Teck Said What do You have to loose! However you may still have to do the reaction discs sooner or later! But your up and going and thats the name of the game!😎

yup
-
AHHH!

If it has a night switch bypass it temporarily.

I put emphasis ! BEFORE EGR Just imagine the possibilities!

If they had been using VGT when the V8 was around BEFORE EGR Just imagine the possibilities !

NICE! Probably not doing an inframe on that puppy! oops
-
Usually Yes! In my opinion you likely got an injector cup issue how ever usually this is accompanied by a hard starting condition! But not always ! The same can be s said for the EGR thing 16 psi shut down may not be enough to leak coolant but 35 psi back pressure( may )be able to push back into the cooling system! unfortunately its a crap shoot! Remove the forward EGR tube and look right inside for trace amounts of coolant red or orange dots!

YUP Oh ya it can ! only 16 Psi in the rad 30 plus on the other side!
-
Yes fuel supply pressure!What colour smoke comes out when the miss occurs!if it doesn’t have the xt engine file then do the download!
-
You could try the download how ever if your truck has the XT file you it will not be replaced wit the extra torque file I would have the fuel pressure checked first!

Volvo introduces new Mack “Anthem” on-highway tractor
fjh replied to kscarbel2's topic in Trucking News
Wow ! Funny how the mind interprets Beauty ! In this order I pick the star as a better look than the anthem And the KW is defiantly low on the charts for me ! How ever they All Got one Thing in Common ! THEY ARE ALL Junk! In comparison to days of old! Looks aren't everything! Could be the ugliest POS on the road If it was reliable it would be worth buying! -
It may be the egr cooler how ever it would likely be throwing an up an engine fault for mass flow! And it it don't normally cause over heating!
-
I’m surprised there pulling 650 out of that!
-
Yup some one got sold a bill of goods when they were building these trucks the Leader in cooling tech! YUP You bet! they started flinging oil out prior to the PDI or shortly there after! They probably bought up the seconds that the borg warner had or something!
-
YUP Its down right stupid!
-
Looks like its on the out let side no big deal However not being able to get one is a big deal He can't modify it its a warranty item the bafoons with throw it back in the dealers face and not pay if they do a mod without getting permission to do so! So much politics to warranty you wouldn't believe it! once the warranty is dun you can do what ever you need to do ! in my mind a peice of jobber flex and 2 band clamps and your done FIXED!

2001 E-Tech 427 excessive blow by
fjh replied to Dave Pannabecker's topic in Engine and Transmission
I agree if its bothering you do the above how ever if its running good leave it alone! I seen these with a fare amount of blow by and still be reliable as hell!! Oil is cheap! As a side note pay attention to the situation in your mirrors or have someone follow you if you have any longer grades in your area with the engine brake on or pulling see if you notice the blow by increase there is a vague possibility that the turbo may be causing this issue Seen this happen several times ! just something to look for! -
This can also be caused by a broken throttle lever if the spring is worn in the lever it can let the shaft move in the pump Check the lever before getting to carryed away.

I beleive it is a direct couple as you have it!

V8 ENDT 866 fuel system leak down issue
fjh replied to DarrylMueller's topic in Engine and Transmission
There is drain back valve in the rear right side of the fuel pump block next thev governor houseing under the shut down lever it’s real hard to remove it’s usually a hammer and punch show it’s round with screw driver slots on it Allen screw in the middle!it likely needs orings replaced have an oring kit handy! -
Bro Its Either shutting down on High coolant temp Low oil level low oil pressure Low coolant level usually will not shut the engine down ! Low oil level Sum times depends on programming! I would Lean heavy towards replacing oil preasure sensor! These are or have be a pain in the as from time to time! By the way create your own post for this you will get better press! More guys alot smarter than me ! will respond to a new post!

If it is a shut down by lack of oil pressure or over heat low coolant it should have codes it would also give you a one minute warning before shutting down! You need to clarify more info better help!having said that it issued garbage truck rat chewed wiring is common on these! Yup could be a. Wiring issue
