Jake brake or powerleash for a ai 427
fjh replied to Pipeliner917's topic in Engine and Transmission
NO! THE power leash is fine -
Use a good quality silcone sealant on the valley plates and power tower a smidge around the fuel pump mounting flange oring use a gasket on the P/s pump glued on with gasket glue Use anaerobic sealant to put the compressor on (lot of weight on that one ) and if you used a front cover gasket take it back off and get rid of the gasket they tended to leak at the bottom from the engine mount flexing the cover use silicone or anaerobic on that as well and reset the cam thrust screw!

I Have always set the linkage / cable (Clutch brake first) first 1/2 inch off the floor for the brake as this does not change much when setting the winder to get the gap ! Works for me !

Hey pro What was old is new again maxidyne revisited ! Didnt hurt the V8 Didnt hurt the 285! ? Should be no problem for the MP 8 ! These seem to have a decent bottom end ;the heads are a little in question at times! That tiny little window of rpm is why there pushing I shift / MDrive focus on milage! they take yet more control from the driver and let the computer do the thinking! Won't need the driver soon! Its coming!

Says it! the longer the legs the better the mileage!

Yup ! Take Note ! This is an example of WHY You pay the shop rates you do! The crap you see in the pic is the stuff The BIG V (SELLs ) to the dealers to work on the stuff the dealer Sells to you ( and it aint cheap ) . Got to have it to have IT to a have it to have a half good chance of repairing issues ,That unit is just one of many needed to repair these new units ( NO books) Your best chance of self repair Is Guys like Mackpro Who Care about what we are doing for our customers and like to see em succeed!

KS Does the Scania V8 have an Engine brake function (Dynatard) they don't mention it! That in my opinion was one of the down falls of the v 8 lack of engine braking!

Google prolink 9000 A prolink 9000 with the vmac 1 cartridge will do what you want to do plus setting parameters and look at switch status Bla bla! Good unit The otc hd code reader will also read and clear codes I have a Mac tools HD code reader works well for it ( SAME as OTC) You can't program just read and clear! The V Mack software is a half decent but I think you got to buy it thru mack IF They still offer it!

You could set the initial timing up about 2-4 degrees probably at 6 at the moment to 10 that would mean instead of a top end timing of 22 degrees you would be at 26 when maxed out Id be watch my pyro thou !

Dealer told me to keep my 95'
fjh replied to dexter860's topic in Modern Mack Truck General Discussion
You should buy a new truck! keeps the economy healthy. However, keep your your old truck so when the new truck is in the shop you have something to make money with ! Warranty don't pay for down time And VOLVO don't care if your making money! -
It may be the econovance its self the spring may be broken or simply worn out! If working properly When the engine starts it should stumble and sputter and smoke till the oil preasure comes up then smooth out if its not doing this and u have changed the sol it could be a physical issue with the advance its self!
