  1. Nothing wrong with that vid rider Good job buddy! I didn't listen to the audio! and you may have mentioned this , With just hand tools it would likely take a tad longer than 10 mins but definitely Worth Packing the pieces! A good investment in my opinion .is A battery powered 1/2 inch impact . And an extra deep 3/4 impact socket Made for the release bolt. Makes the job a snap!πŸ‘ There are some shortcuts to that project however you got the point across! If A person is smart he/she packs a spare Piggyback kit in the truck !
  2. So I thought I would up date this post a little ! The last diff that I repaired And slathered the bolt with RED locktight lasted approx A year and a half! We replaced that diff with a REMACK Diff That diff lasted 1 Month and a few DAYs !We have since replaced That diff With yet Another REMACK diff at the discretion of the Eservice Guys And Before installation WE Lock tighted the Bolts In Hopes having this poor guy being able to work for a year or so before it blows up again ! 4 Fricking diffs in the time frame of 2 years! Not acceptable in my mind ! Moral of the story! Quit messing with tried and true designs ! Three bolts are better than one!
  3. These days It seems that over 80 percent of most downtime issues are emission related! Correct me If I'm wrong I Believe in the late eighties and early nintey's there was a seven year Warranty on emissions devices imposed on manufacturers ? If manufactures of today we mandated by law and had to source reliable sensors and wiring we would have more reliable equipment! Thoughts anyone!
  4. The timing is done by the computer the pumps are electric the older set up is electricly governed the timing is selected totally by the computer!
  5. Unplug the ecu and check the pins
  6. Not positive I believe 1/2 inch
  7. Yup that’s the best way
  8. Turn up the tunes bro
  9. There is a saying at our shop ! IT ain't sold till the name is on the door And the tail lights Are heading out the Driveway!πŸ™„
  10. Please clarify is the trans NEW/Reman? Or did you replace the range valve on the top of the Trans? Does the Truck Have A cummins or Mack Engine Eaton or Mack 18sp ! Mack !!!!! Check to see that the out put yoke is tight!!! If it has a cummins and a mack trans the loose yoke issue becomes more complex!
  11. TDC Is TDC TIMING IS TIMING The cam / crank marks will line up on tdc #1 the valves on number six should be on the rock!
  12. On truck one you say the rockers are fine rule that out I have only 3 thoughts The Valves were set wrong to start with if thats possible ! Or the cam gear has slipped on the cam its self never seen that happen.............. The valve guides were to tight of tolerance when assembled if they are reman that is possible and have seen it happen! observation! \As for truck two Judging by the work done my guess will been incorrect liner height ! low spec is 22 which is borderline usable! in my opinion! your allowed 00.2 thou between liners under one head This is some times hard to acheive when shimming liners you need to sometimes drifit them several times to get it right I believe the guy who installed the liners didn't spend the time to check his work the finished product before the heads went on ! Have also seen this happen There are things the Book don"t tell you and this is double check your work BEFORE the heads go on A good liner height for these Is 24-28 anything in between or slightly above is OK! and the spec between liners should be strictly adhered to! Zero Variation is best In my opinion but not always attainable This is where your issue lies in my opinion! Could be right out to lunch on this but judging from your comments its my guess! Just my 2 cents! 2
  13. Yup that is a possible cause how ever you would think after AS many clutches and look sees this unit has under gone someone would have at least mentioned the shaft had some wear to it, but also knowing the lack of caring ( don't give a shit attitude) a lot of society has today ! I guess its possible it has been overlooked! Like I said I'm confused!
  14. You said the clutch shafts are fairly new But How old is your Clutch cable ? If its old replace it!!! At this point if it sounds like a slipping clutch it likely is a slipping clutch In my mind the only things you haven't changed here are the clutch pedal and the cable Never seen a clutch pedal siezed to the shaft anything is possible I guess ! I have seen clutch cables cause grief And we are Grasping At straws At this point! Also a thought here! Have you tried locking out the power divider? Is there a possibility that there is a striped axle gear and it is grabbing and slipping intermittently! When this post first started when were focusing on the engine cause it happened all the while the engine ran ? Now we are looking at the frame? and under power? I am Officially confused ! 😣
  15. I also Kev ! It must mean ! They had Fake news back then too I guess! !πŸ™„ (In jest!)
  16. Yup me too how ever he should be smelling the un mistakable smell of heated clutch/brakes
  17. The bell housing is part of the trans you will need to fab mounts as for the tone ring that will be tough as there were very few built with electric speedo you may fine one thru chassis records of some MH cab over chassis!
  18. The cross shafts were OK on the Clutch fork?
  19. Good to see the reman center is keeping its bulldog reputation as well! Same old same old!πŸ˜£πŸ™„
  20. YUP An d You Said It out LOUD! πŸ˜‚
  21. Don't kid your self! The owner of our dealership is also A gravel pit owner He bought into the Volvo equipment line back when he took over the Mack Dealership here we have had our fair share of repairing this junk too! The quality and design is somewhat better than the truck end. Still kind dollar store ish however! He has switched back to Cat for the pit end of the business ! I'm sure it has a lot to do with economics as well never the less he switched back! lehbier would not even be in the thought process !
  22. No I'm positive of sure your mistaken Its the Volvo/88800352 Tool A Bargain @ $1,338.18 ! 😣 A lot of R+d Went into building that unit ya know!πŸ™„ One thing about the Volvo Group , They Are equal opportunity Gouger's ! They gouge the customers and they gouge the dealers ! If they were as good at fixing injector cups as they are at gouging these trucks would be perfect! Money For Nothing Shit For Free! Nope! They sell That too!
  23. Un plug the round fuel pump connector take it apart an put it together several times then try start it! By several times I mean at least6
  24. Drive by wire started 1993 400 hp! they offered mech in the lower HP for about 2 years beyond 93 ! by 95 / 97 I believe everything would be DBW Either or were Quite reliable !
  25. Yup ! The Harness! this is another on going issue that seems to never got dealt with, Coolant push and oil push is quite common on these ! Oil or Coolant can be pushed up the wire from various failed or failing dollarstore sensors used on the engine and expansion tank right back to the ECU! However in your case the it looks as thou there was no coolant evidence or oil Did you clean it out?
