Intake screen at the oil cooler pluged?these have caused a lot of greef at times

Yup agree with Trent  fairly normal however if you find that temp is coming on faster than normal could be you have a boost leak!

Settings need to be enabled in the software not really reprogramed but changed!

yup high on the list of suspects! however the symptom is a bit odd as cups usually presents it self as a no start no fire at first crank ,not fire and die! or long crank times and stumble start up!

The US market product range, as we all know, is but a fraction of what it used to be. For example, the lack of an MR replacement, the lack of a Super-Liner product, the lack of a COE so as to be a player in the global market, the lack of a big bore powerplant, the lack of a proprietary Mack brand powerplant (e.g. a signature Mack brand V8) to set it apart from the Volvo brand. With limited offerings, total sales potential is inherently reduced.

They do offer the choice of distinctly different  ENGINE  Paint color How ever!  That sets Us Worlds  apart from them!   Green or RED what should I choose! hmmmmm!

OOPS

Mark, finance guys are typically pretty confident about themselves but they generally know little to nothing about the product (they believe their product understanding is adequate).

Like Denny, he came from construction and knows how to survive in Volvo's corporate world. Unlike Denny, he was in financial, not hands-on with the product.

How does a background in construction relate to heavy trucks? Answer: It doesn't.

Paul Vikner and Kevin Flaherty were the last men from the real Mack Trucks to serve as president (they were mere puppets under the new Volvo regime though, like China's last emperor Puyi under Japanese control in Manchukuo).

Denny Slagle is a fine human being. However as Mack president, he has never gotten the brand airborne.

I'm confident in saying that Weissburg won't either, and he'll be gone or reassigned within two years.

Volvo will pull the plug on the Mack brand within fifteen years.

They have done better than I expected on the plug issue I had expected they would have done it by now I'm surprised they are still willing to continue on with thes smoke and mirrors game!  ( When ) it happens thou I won't  be surprised!

THE Evil swedish aggressor! 

As stated checking the h ring height is in order here also you might consider looking into the ceramic up grade!

I agree; haven’t heard this as a problem (rear seal); should be focusing on cup problems

Cup issues ! They claim to never have problems ! 

SOOOO !I wonder  what kind of warranty are we  offering with this unit!

They sort of have you by the nose ring on those crank seals. It is essentially a backwards-installed two piece seal. The flat side you see on the last pic is the inside face. Think it would be hard to install properly, and not damage, without the tool.   

 

You mean to tell me that can be removed by the screw and bar method I do understand the need for the installer Every one has their CAT CUMMINS DETROIT HOWEVER Mains seals have not been a problem In my area ! So my  (Point being if it ain't broke ) just another dealer gouge!

We had a similar occurrence a month or two back it was the injector wiring harness it gives the same sounds and feel as running out of fuel! this could be a possibility !

Similar rear suspension  to Vride / Mride  Hmm!

OF coase the new ocean front valve cover is included in that 3500 bucks for the neck brace puller correct. Thermal pane glass I bet!  

When they changed over to the MP engine the first essential tools they sent us were the engine lifting brackets for removing engines from the trucks  GOOD SIGN OF Confidence  in the product!! Fortunately we only had to use em a couple of times in 15 years!  

What codes is it throwing up?  kind of a vague  post if you want help! Sounds as if its starving for fuel 

Yup if hes empty shouldn't be a problem a light foot will help! as for Your turbo that issue is from lack of air/ boost to much fuel . THat is an example of why you have a pyrometer gauge!

It all depends on how much and how hard you work them from what i'm seeing We have some wicked long pulls here in BC !

we do cups still on a regular basis one a year on some!

My guess 3000 Grand . More dealer gouging  for tecky over the top stuff !!!!!! Shop rate just went up again ! To bad they didn't invest the money they spent on those tools in fixing the cup issue!

Replacement tools for  the trusted screw ,vise grip and crowbar method  50 bucks v/s the volvo criminal price!

Good Bait ! 

Got me going!

What's the model and last 6 of vin and I can tell you what can be done with just a down load from a dealer. 

What trany do you have ?You may want to stay where your at  depending if you have maxidyne or not! if do not have a 13 sp or better moving to 350 / 400 may hinder your situation! Just A thought

Not even a re design of the wimpy bolt and clap system that holds the dam thing in? very cheap ass to my way of thinking! There is othere options in my mind However I am not and engineer! ADDRESS the problems you have befor moving on to yet more complication!

They have created an ingenious fuel system on this engine. I'm going to cut my posts out of the start of the thread so I can add the pictures of the fuel system. No blowing smoke, it is jaw dropping clever. Seen a bunch of conversions to high rail, but this tops them all. 

Time will tell how  ingenious this system is given all the other issues these engines have with injector cups this seems to be the weak point of an otherwise Fairly bullet proof engine design as for the two speed water pump splitting hairs with that in my opinion The Compressor disconnect makes some sense! As for Compounding to much complication for to little! 

Mirrors also create another blind spot Having said this I totally agree with you to much dependence on TECK They are creating a bunch of DUMMER ASS drivers with this stuff Total lack of knowledge and the physics of vehicle operation.  

Level and temp sensor in the pan / pressure on the cooler

If you dig around in the console you will likely find to more vacant plugs   an on  switch on off and hi low  switch should be there ! once you got these rounded up and installed you need to go to a dealer and have the engine brake enabled in the computer end of things There are also two governer types in the program have this set to min / max it changes the way the engine brake feels when it  operates!
