Thanks guys any other stuff to look out for on this ..I'm new to mack have had a few others still have a fld freightliner 

Nope THE RD is a tough unit Cams sometimes fail Rocker bolts sometimes break on the newer engines with power leash! I recommend replacing ALL the unit pump bolts if you got the bucks Get the proper bolts from the dealer!

You can give the wd forty penetrating oil thing. it is possible to to free up by removing the pin from the actuator and put needle nose Vice grips on the lever and try and get it working back and forth to free it up IF you do have to go that route and it works out for you. you may need to go back to the dealer to calibrate the vgt How ever  if this don't work for ya  In my opinion your best to go the two year warrenty route install the turbo your self its a heavy lump by the way! You still are well advised to take it to the dealer recalibrate it!

Just my to cents

Not normal! just happens some times!

FJH, did you see the new bulletin that came out today  on the engine brake pistons? We ordered the tools, they were not to bad on the price, I was shocked. We have been seeing alot of these come apart here lately causing lots of problems. 

Exhaust Rocker Compression Brake repair.pdf

Thanxz for the post MP

No MP I hadn't seen that . All I got to say is what took them so long we've been having issues with this for three years or more All models ! As for the price this may be a record as well  we have been repairing them with out the tools for so long they better make it worth while !Ya got to do what ya got to do!

Another indicator  related to slaves  is more frequent regens if the set gets real bad!

Try a 9/16 flat washer it will likly cut the smoke to a resonable level!

this is common It will likly just screw out replace the orings and the bolts good to go

Its Possible the engine brake slaves are coming apart they are screwed together and some times they work loose!

The only way to tell is to  remove the vCover and check  the valve set  if the brake adjustment has tightened up then you got to lift the rocker shaft and check the slaves.

I would try swaping and injector hole to hole before anything DO NOT pull the pump segment the pump has to be done a a proper fuel shop!

Imagine what this will do to part prices for the existing mp10s Volvo stands to make an even  bigger bag of money off that situation!

They Can make up for the lack of sales in that department!

dito on this go with eaton meritor combo ! once you buy Mack trans or auto you are stuck with it REAL  expensive to repair  once the warranties off and somthing gos wrong your done!

the Cummins Insite diagnostic software we have is years ahead of the Mack/Volvo Tech Tool software we use. And the Cummins dealer that  we do business with has helped us out many many times and I can't thank them enough. 

Totally agree with that statement. If Cummins has done anything right it is the Insite program. Insite is a very impressive progressive straightforward piece of work for the most part!

However If Volvo /Mack plans on using the ISX and the ishit/ mdrive as the only trans, this makes for a whole lot of room for buck passing when it comes down to warranty concerns. From what I have seen, when there are any kind of programing mishaps, there tends to be a NOT OUR PROBLEM attitude on both sides, and it leaves the customer and dealer hanging!

Yup there working Real Hard at getting these Auto trans rigs out there ! Warrantied for 750000 miles what s the issue you say? Yes emissions are huge part of the reason this was rumored  several years back where they were heading and why! It also puts another staple of or trucking industry EATON in a poor position !how ever they do offer their version of the auto trans!

In the case of the I shift/Mdrive ,IF The Gets clutch worn out prior to the end of the warranty Its a customer pay item IT AINT CHEAP over twice the cost of a standard clutch

YOU HAVE TO REPLACE THE FLY WHEEL  or the dam thing will not operate properly If it breaks out side the warranty you might just aswell walk away from that puppy! The trans price is WAY up there  you'll leave the (dealership) that YOU are( NOW MARRIED  to by the way Cause you have to reprogram  the thing if you have  replace anything ), They will have shook you down for 20000 bucks  Or more before you leave the place.Gone is the owner operator as we know them!

Yes You have to change the side gears in the diff! I ran into this years ago the splines are meant for the older full float axle!

There are two positions for the stick shifts forward and center this can make a huge difrence in an R  if you got a forward shift this would explain why 

Yes Colapse the spring and set the lash to 24

three checks! check the throtle make suire it is going all the way to the end of its travel on the pump!

2 - check to be sure  the stop cable is going full on!

#3 Remove the bimbo slave from the pump and see if this changes your power situation it may be stuck out how ever as Glenn stated it needs air to operate!

Hopfully just  liner orings if thats the case you have 6 more to think about!

Did it go bang?

Kev

Our decision makers are known for their Great decisions! 

Were just Dam lucky to get that unit!

I would have expected them to order up 50000 mountain bikes with machine gun mounts on the handle bars for the guys to use !

Don't forget they did buy the english built subs for our navy!  Some huge Military bargains out there you know! 

OH Wait!!!  We had to part out one  to make the other one  work that's right! So do  we have a SUB!

The current Navistar engines employing an SCR emissions solution are not experiencing any issues, including the 12.4-liter MAN D26 license-built "N13".

https://www.internationaltrucks.com/-/media/navistar/trucks/pdf/brochure/n13_speccard.pdf

Scania aside, I would take a Navistar N13 (MAN D26), Detroit (Daimler) or Cummins with their Bosch or Cummins-Scania XPI high-pressure common rail fuel injection over a Volvo engine with inferior Delphi fuel injection (unit pump or the new jury rig). The Paccar MX (DAF) with its Bosch unit pump injection is also significantly better.

Yup the dollar store fix!    Volvo Trash!

Timing advance solenoid in front the the pump is likely haywire!

Also replace the line that feeds the solnoid if its old!
