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!

Where are the Mack engineers
fjh replied to james j neiweem's topic in Modern Mack Truck General Discussion
Real good Question James ! The Swedes probably ran em off! MACK had some Good people working for em there"s still a few around Think Dave Troupe is still hanging in there in the back ground! -
If it has a trany cooler CHECK the trans make sure its no going there! Change the rad cap! Check the engine oil !Also quite common for water pump bolts to break!
-
In addition to idling you cant have any exhaust leaks check the flex under the cab and yes they can go bad , however its highly unlikely!
-
If your by a dealer at some point You may want to stop by and have em calibrate the VGT It may have picked up some bad habits!

The vacuum was created by a leaking air venturi affair in the under bunk storage. I don't think it would go thru a DOT check now a days. Wouldn't pass, audible air leak! This unit was built using leftover car parts from the fifties and sixties! As Glenn described, the heater controls ran on vacuum. And the switches were from a 66 F-150. I'm surprised they didn't use vacuum for the wipers as well. Good example of using what you have on hand to build something for sure! The MH design blew this out of the water! The MH was the best cabover built by anyone at the time and since in my opinion!

Nothing! You got boost leaks or a lazy turbo in my opinion Have the charge air system checked for leaks and if you find nothing replace the turbo! also depending where the truck is from some trucks were built with a cold weather charge air bypass for quicker warm up if it has this make sure it aint stuck in by pass mode!

Yup 5 speed pto driven off the center section of the trans! pto mounts on the lower counter shaft the lower rear section shaft is hollow to eccept the thru shaft of the pto!
-
Still needs fuel add as mentioned 70 psi under load min! after that injector up grade!
-
Wouldn't it be nice if this fixes his problem for good! Yup If your an O/O these days You Don"t dare NOT Buy A super Warrenty And hopfully you earn enough to be down while its being repaired Don't matter whos truck you own! Cummins is everybit as bad for not giving the rats ass if your unit is down . unless you happen to have a fleet! then THEY MITE kiss ass a little!
-
check to see if air is getting to the RIGHT side! Plugged hose bla bla !Its likely not the foot valve!
-
Keep the 53s Put more trucks on the road, more employment for everyone! double 33s are counter productive ! for job creation!
-
WELL Looky there a performance six pack GOOD JOB just pop those babys in there! Like I said AND there's your proof! Only six grand! cheap a twice the price! Are we doing a complimentary Cup Job to top it off!
-
Usually noticed in the higher rpms! Know engine codes but anything is possible like MPro said lots of different symptoms! You may have injector or injector harness issues If its coding / hard to tell till you look!
-
The only ones bending over backwards here are guys like MP And myself and others in the field that care about having customers ! The Volvo turds don't give a rats ***

1999 rd688 E7 350 miss fire when pulling
fjh replied to chana1634's topic in Engine and Transmission
I think MP was looking at the wrong post when he wrote the above ! It is possible that your transfer pump may cause this symptom ! How ever sounds like an injector issue to me! -

fjh replied to chana1634's topic in Engine and Transmission
That's pretty unit MP Hope your right about the C Rail would be a nice change ! Would be nice to have a somewhat Trouble free engine , There's more than enough to do just with after treatment crap! -
Collectors item Now ! Bud Its going to be worth millions in twenty years or so if your willing to wait! Funny thing is the Volvo site hasn't removed the D16 we Will have to c how this unfolds!

CL-713 Electronic Malfunction light
fjh replied to Charles Shedden's topic in Modern Mack Truck General Discussion
The symptom you post is the same as if you start the engine with the throttle unplugged! Just sayin!Check the throttle plug! -
In my opinion I would lift the lids and check the set due to quality concerns of parts theses days !Before volvo took the raines the quality of reman parts was way better! I do not like remac heads particularly they tend to be sloppy and do not follow wear limits for replacement of guides and valve stems and the quality of the replacement valves and seats them selves are in question! Way back when Mack was mack you could count on getting decent stuff NOT These days!
