Just my observation ! I Have Always wondered about why the Pete guys could never design a clutch pedal that didn't look like a piece of antiquated Farm equipment! Up till the Cab redesign as of late! How ever Its Always been A REAL MANS truck for what ever reason! Kinda like the Harley Of Trucks! 🙄 Nether of which I am fond of!😎

You can also get a screw driver in thru the cover on the bottom and pluck the disks free from the flywheel and the intermediate plates by having someone hold their foot on the pedal or have a stick hold the clutch pedal down turn the the engine by hand and pluck at each paddle location!I have had to do this ! Where a unit has sat in a wet location for to long !

I would suspect if you've had the yoke come loose several times that its about time to do syncro plates as Rob mentioned ! Having said that Have you checked the the oil yet If the truck is equipped with a trans cooler coolant can get into and contaminate trans oil and cause the same issue!

Check for a loose or broken yoke bolt

Good news! 👍 Keep it simple!

i WOULD BE VERY CAREFUL TO OFFER LOW with that rebuild in mind!

Yup bolts got to be out cut the head off and put the nut back on the bottom and get it spinning with an impact alternative is you got to take u bolts out any way leave the pitman arm on till it’s on the ground

So have you got any farther with this problem

That is the rack stop adjustment ig you need to try give it more juice loosen the jam nut and turn the screw back 1/2 turn and lock the nut and try it! That is the old style adjustment I don’t recall the direction to turn it clearly. However if you feel a power increase you have gone the right direction/if it decreased the power turn the screw forwards one turn from that point and try it! As I mentioned it’s been 25 years since I messed with one of those however I remember it being opposite to the newer two jam nut style.! Once you establish the direction do not surpass plus 1 1/2 turn from stock set unless you want to wreck something!

The above comment is so true Agree totally! The smart money is being spent on your current project Bro ! How ever if they don't sell the new stuff you may not be busy! 🙄 However! Fear Not thou !We have had a rash of EGR cooler Failures as of late ,they must have found a new Dollar store to shop at for these!😥 And You will always have work doing injector cups as well !😂

Yup seen it happen a few times ! It even happened when it was a not Swedish owned ! How ever these guys can't really afford need to piss many more people off,small or big! Volvo/ Mack market share is dropping like a stone!

Answer was correctly answered by 41 ! As for your noise judging by your comment an exhaust leak would show up as soot trails at the ports ! Check for broken studs ! After cooler could be cracked and leaking ! If the cooler is cracked you should have some black smoke trailing the truck under load and the pyro will be getting up to 1000 quite quickly!

If it’s hard to start in the morning it’s a guaranty check egr before getting carried away. The hard pull comment kind of raises my eye brow a bit!

Firstly u need to be pull at the rated rpm not full rpm to develop full boost you should be seeing 33-38

Remove the egr hose at the front of the cooler and c if it’s wet there! Possibly failure however your symptoms are more similar to injector cup failure

Nope aint no Mack and I'd don't think there are to many grades where they are working cause I don,t care even with 400 HP your going to break something if you have any sort of incline and that much weight!!

Well bro! Kind of figured if this didn't get resolved this would be your choice ! Even if you do buy a new Pete please keep in touch here, Its real sad it has come down to this !How ever have seen it happen a few times before same deal as the Steeler's post the disputes escalate to this point and the customer walks ! He tells two friends and they tell to friends and so on it's still does not seem to faze them ! Trouble is that they already have spent the cost of new truck chasing a a ghost a possible wiring anomaly sensor wired backwards or something thy didn't see it and now were here! Sad thing is if you were a multi national corporation they would have tossed a new truck at you by now!

Yup your right! Trent ! They are in the shop most of the time keeps em out of accidents! Great safety feature 😂

Not really enough info in this topic here to give a good answer ! Do you have blo by puffing out the fill tube or vent while running! Is the engine firing on all cylinders ! when you changed the head which ports were wet maybe you have a bad injector! give us a few more clues may be able assist you better!

Not too many things sound as good as a V8 pulling hard in my opinion, Love the sound! I've said it before I wish Scania had stepped up to the plate when Mack was floundering instead of these Volvo turds! OH well its done now as has been said before they are creating job security for the next generation till they run off all the customers!😥

Sorry MRS got carried away🤔

These used to have issues with fan hub bearings packing up on the AI engines due to the extra heat when the truck was first introduced! is it possible the hub bearings a toast! just throwing that out there! Also the crank Damper is a possible as mentioned however never seen one fail out of the blue before! fan hub bearings make a whining noise when standing in front of the truck!

There is one simple thing to check before you go ripping the pump off for repair ask Rob has stated! Check to be sure the throttle lever isn't worn at the spring in the lever its self! this being worn can cause issues at idle as well just something cheap and easy to check before going all out! Just something else to look for!

Replace the tensioner also be sure your Ac unit is not giving you greif could be causing issues

This statement is so true ! the money made today. Is the same money that was made back then with all the higher costs of rigs fuel and other expenses!I have been in truck repair my whole life and watched as the most powerful group of people fight and scramble to race each other to the bottom . Had they stuck together they could have made a good living! Think about it ! everything moves by truck if the trucks stop rolling no body eats! pretty decent Lever from my way of thinking!
