    Whats wrong with the Mack 13spd if you don't mind me asking?

    For the Eaton you can use either aluminum or cast iron bell housing with the correct clutch release.  You will probably need a longer prop shaft as well.

     

    The cost of repair is whats wrong is the cost of repair is out to lunch  Mack /volvo don't want you to fix things just by new stuff! An eaton is half the cost of the mack trans to overhaul parts Are half the cost of mack parts ! In some defence kw freightliner or pete are no better! Anything dealer specific  bend over!

  2. If the eup swap did not move to the other cyl you either have an injector issue OR a bad valve if its a bad valve you will have blu white smoke

    Pull the injector have it tested! your smoke color sounds injectorish!

    You can also swap the injectors  hole to hole to prove it out!

    Yes fjh that's exactly what I'm going to do. I've used a lot of PAI stuff in the past and had good luck with it . 

    Just Finished a V8 build in January We used PAI kit Very complete kit Half the price of the mack stuff and twice the warranty!

    Last one I had was on my MH which used the same one as a CL and if I recall I m pretty sure I had to buy the whole slave cylinder for the pedal  because they didn't sell a kit anymore that was about 12 years ago . I think I still have a couple used ones not much to them inside just a couple o rings should be able to find o rings somewhere that will match up.  Mack has just gotten terrible with anything V8 related . Went to my dealer yesterday to price a crankshaft gear cam gear and seals gaskets and a damper for one of mine  they wher just out to lunch . What they were able to fix bs on the computer was priced just totally retarded. Already found a couple other sources so I guess I won't be buying from my Mack dealer .

    There intent is to make the old mack stuff unreachable buy pricing it out to lunch  make it go away ! The dealer is only part to blame  their pricing to the dealer is ridiculous as well the dealer is just passing the gouge on! Look else where! Best aftermarket mack parts is PAI in my opinion!  excellent  pricing compared to the volvo criminals Even for MP and volvo trash parts. AND better warranty!

  6. your tool from the inlet sounds like it worked fine  a  4 inch  piece of 3-  4 inch exhaust pipe ( depending on your cooler) caped off and drilled and  taped  for 1/4 inch pipe thread and a pressure reg set to 40 psi will do the trick

    Good known gauge!

    you can also make the cap  not drill it and back feed from where the puff limiter is installed !

    once you ares sure its tight then we can talk twisting the dogs tale some more!

     

    Just some ideas to giter done!
