Yup for that brief period the filter kits came with dog turds in place of the water filter ! The casting sand fiasco did happen about that time !

That.s one of those things that  I thought should have been a PI Campaign  but it never was!  Other than if you had and overheating compressor ( check here  note! )  Still run in to the odd block with a the casting sand issue with liners removed  is very evident ! 

Yup Glenn is correct ! With the exception of VOLVO OR anything else with A Hydraulic  operated clutch! If there anyone else Think Freightliner might use that crap too ?  Everything with a linkage or a cable will require that you adjust the linkage to Get the clutch brake set correctly FIRST Then set the inside to your desired height of engagement with the internal ring!

yup Pays to ask questions!  Like when did this start and have you changed anything yourself  before This started that may have influenced this complaint !Guys are sometimes their worst enemies  Withholding  info how ever small it may seem! Can make a big difference in an out come can  send you chasing your tail for such a simple thing!

Thanks  for posting your find!

Pictures worth a thousand words! Id be mighty hot as well over all this ! however ya need to take the bull by the horns and phone the hot line as Kev has said This is a little much!

Let us know how it all washes out be curious how much of any you got to pay.chances are you'll be paying the whole thing and have o be reimbursed by the original dealer.

90% of mine is injectors/cups  and exhaust. Job security!

You will then have a problem in five years ! Because they MAY have made MACK Great again!

The injector cup problem is Solved We Now Have  Makeshift Common RAIL !

Because you said this!

You should see the fuel in oil test for the new common rail engine.  Lucky for us we have not had a single issue with the 7 or 8  trucks we have running around here for the last 5 months. 

So your life maybe cut down to just emptying the ash cans on DPFS ! 

You seem to be quite logical That is good for the shop that your at!  Has their parts guy checked on availability of the pins and or head I guess with out a game plan its hard ,however it can hurt for the parts guy to look for pieces and  be prepared to pull the trigger on either or! If they a a small place they likely won't have things nobody wants to stock stuff these days! And the stuff your going to need is kind of odd ball!

Pays to keep your head screwed on right and work with people!

also if you have been unable to extract even a non broken stud, i mean this in the nicest way possible but i would question your ability.  

Admittedly my attempt a trying to  remove the guide was an attempt to re use on another head My point is they are very tight to remove at the best of time ! Impossible to remove without ruining in my opinion  at least the ones i have attempted! Its not something we do everyday ! And I realise in this case were not saving anything and if its weldable  then ready rod and a slide hammer or hollow porta power is tryable ! Two hours 120  shop rate 240 bucks ! if it works you win if not guess its just 240 ! And How many guide pins do think  are in stock Did anyone look??

We only got a few out here so far Time will tell i guess! Maybe they finally got something we can be Proud of !

Unfortunately the after treat is the weak link in most all the stuff ( EVERYBODY'S! )

LETS  MAKE  MACK  GREAT  AGAIN!

Oh someone is already using that line! 

It"s  Almost mid week  Still got to order parts ! bla bla Times awasting!

I have also had Very little luck extracting EVEN non broken studs can't  even imagine trying to remove a broken one! Good luck !!!

Replace the head and get on with it! Minimise your down time ! You may have a Half  chance of being  running by weeks end! 

Remember Down time is money !

Not to mention Its the Torque down side If you ever watch a truck pulling a heavy load up a steep hill its always lower on that side!

YUP!    MUT or  Heinz 57!!  Maybe!
