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!

The wiring is likely there however you need to find it all !! there should be to wires and a plug near the clutch pedal for a clutch switch likely wires in the center consoe marked engine brake and an empty relay slot or 2 in the fuse box and an empty fuse slot for engine brake! If not its not that big of deal to run wire to run new wire! If it is a manual lever engine

OHHHH Yeah! U Bet it can!

Sounds like they are throwing parts at it with out checking stuff however many things can cause this ! the engine brake slaves coming apart can cause the engine to smoke more bad injectors can cause it to smoke more The computer can only tell them so much ! It assumes every thing else is OK ! unfortunately The program they use is mediocre at best and we tend to rely on it too much ! its a rock and a hard place For you and them as there are so many unwritten scenarios that cause these to screw up! The best they can is to start with the cheap and easy and work your way thru it ! Did they Check the valve and engine brake set ? If not maybe they should!

nope

We use ESSO / Mobil bulk ,WE sell both ESSO and Cheveron pails and jugs

What He said!

I Think the whole intent here and its Not just Volvo or MACK but BY ALL manufacturers IS to captivate AS MANY parts and intellectual Properties as possible. that way THEY GOTCHA ! Good for them their dealers and techs, Consumer NOT SO MUCH! Entrapment at its finest! This way they keep ya comin back to buy the dollar store sensors and cheap wiring and crap they install on the cheaply build Short term 5 year life cycle vehicles they build ! Terribly good for business not so much for the environment or your pocket book! My Rant for the last ten years

😂 yup real spensive sounding process and can’t see that screwing up.🙄

Could you please explain a little more ! Do you know if the the cam followers Are ceramic or metal? Earlier engines were equipped with steel rollers that eched the cams is this what is happening? or is it ceramic rollers that are breaking? If the symtom is a chirping sound it could be you have old style lifters and should upgrade to spring loaded push tubes and cearamic rollers

Did you guys replace the t stat?

as stated Check out the egr post there althou getting the egr VALVE loose at this point is going to be tough it would be worth it in the long run!make a plate for beneath the valve!

Yet again Piss poor planing on their part the likly hood of these trucks being on a hook is 3 fold of trucks of yesteryear , pretty short sighted in my opinion! Very brave move.

If ya got the money . sure gona need some ! lots of mods Id think! Depending on your engine ! if to have the 460 etec you would definitely have the room However ECUS would have to be synced up bla bla lots to think on! I believe the horse power was limited to 427 for the allison as well!

THE OTHER Short answer YES ! But Not ALWAYS However when this happen s usually the EGR COOLER has failed that 1200 dollars now becomes 3000 dollars ! Are u also loosing coolant? If so the afore mentioned may apply in this case you have two choices Spend the the 3000 grand or cap off the egr coolant and cap off the egr valve and bypass everything! This has been done and the effects are negligible!

AMEN to this statement Kev!

U used to be able to by a P2 bearing ( 2 thou over) check and see not sure if this was availible for E7 how ever it was for E6 and E9

THis should be on your priority list!

Has possibilities I guess ! Like our Cell phones etc ! where are the solar panels ? I often wondered why cell phones don't incorporate them ? Same in this instance any advantage would assist in extra miles ! This concept also calls f infrastructure EVERYONE will have to be on the same page! all loading docks every Wall mart every home depot ! fine to say it 500 miles but if you can't get back ???? Also WHO pays for the infrastructure????? Telsa , Joe blows Trucking The government? lots of questions unanswered here!

AMEN BRO!

WHAT HE SAID! Can hurt to know!

Sorry I miss read I had 460 in my head , 32 would be adequate for a 427 are you seeing over thirty on the hard pull is the truck trailing any black smoke while pulling hard this is a sign of leaks! you do have a high pyro reading how ever if it is coming up to that after a reasonable mount of time your likley ok if it snaps up with in a minute or so Id be checking for leaks. just my opinion!

Do you have a boost gauge? If your seeing less than 34 psi you need to check for boost leaks!

We have a company running LNG addon to MP8 here !they seem to be happy with the results (the way I understand it ) The gas subsidizes the diesel around town and flat hyw work and when ya need the serious power the diesel works its magic! No plugs no tune up BS to contend with ! (We Will see how it goes? its been in service for 6 months now!)

We always paint mark the teeth These are real easy to get a tooth out with the hokey way in which the cam is marked! it don't take much at the cam to be a whole lot off at the tip of the gear!
