Yup Im at a total loss as to that! It has what looks to be another valve where the rod should be on a roto chamber pot!🙃

Don't get carried away ordering up stuff till you get the Cam pulled and nail down what you have there ! You may have other issues eup springs or guide pin breakage is also in the cards! pull the eups see if any springs are broke! Just sayin!

We sold dozens of these back in the late eighties and 90's ! ive seen them in log trucks fire trucks dump trucks never in mixers however...... ! also I can't tell you how many mixers I have seen specked without the interaxle lock! Don"t have a clue why anyone would spec a diff for any vocational truck with out Both interaxle and diff lock on both axles! And yes the mack limited slip was the wedge and cam set up inside the diff cage! It worked ok on off road applications but as a single axle or tandem on rd application tended to bang and pop going round corners causeing one to think his diff was failing! In my opinion there is no replacement for having a fully lockable diff for any application! They blew it! The new redesigned Mack carrier they were able to ad the diff lock however they also redesigned how the crown gear and preload was applied to the top gear set! They changed the retaining bolts from 3 half inch fine bolts to One 3/4 inch yoke bolt similar to the trans yoke bolt! I don't know if they are still having issues with this coming loose cause I have retired from this for a year or two however I repaired several of these due to this ill thought out redesign ! The old story if it aint broke don't fix it!

2004 was the most embarrassing year for us as a Mack dealer ! We at one point had no less than 5 dead new trucks in the yard Robbed of parts to keep customers on the road! Mainly turbos! Fuel lines were another issue ! after they painted them selves into a corner buying cheap ass dollar store fuel lines! Fan hubs also became an issue on The AI engines shortly after! Corner Cutting, Cost them Big Time reputation wise! The AC and AI engines went on to be Fairly reliable engines after a year or two how ever.........!

Mack has done this for years long before the Volvo Trash people took over! The V8 started out with a three year warranty! every year after the first year they dropped the parts that were failing fuel pumps/ turbos /most of the jobber parts were excluded from the warranty ! the main engine block and moving parts were all covered they couldn't wiggle out of those!🙄

It has a uncanny resemblance to the cab over of the 80s ! We used to called them the Pac-man due to the 4 corner air bag system on the cab! they road like floating on a cloud! While beneath the chassis can be getting pounded to hell!

Was this a Mack unitized hub OR jobber axle? just askin!

Yup agreed! Also if you don’t got a 10 thou handy you can set the yoke by putting your thumb on the yoke turn the screw till it touches then one flat of the nut and lock it down! Done this for years on v8 e6 e7 and eteck the best part is you don’t need a dam computer to do it and the procedure never changes!😂

more a set issue as Joe mentioned!

Did it break on the same cyl twice? It could be a valve issue! Did the heads not have a warranty?

I have a fair knowledge of the v8 what are your questions I will try to answer!

The rear mounts you have are correct ! The front are likley correct! The later model RW had a single Rear mount! Derived from the MH cab over chassis! The RW was derived from the W cab over Chassis Also known as a cruse liner ! R Cab on a Cruseliner frame! The MH frame became a basis for the RW and the CL !

So there is alot of posts on this subject on the site do a search! check the cheap and easy stuff it can be many things as simple as the fuel tank vent plugged to bad fuel lines! Start tring stuff and eliminating things!

Should work fine! Never seen this happen thats a crappy situation! seen a few broken springs but never a crack like that!

Agree ! They took advice and knowledge from the masses and personal experience! and put it into practice!👍 That said you need repeat business to stay in business There are no captive parts on that unit! That is what the big guys count on there is a method in their madness And it works once you got one your trapped ! whether it be a Pete A KW or Volvo trash its the way its designed!

You’re right about answering your own questions! Slobbering drooling or dribbling ! Not right! new tips are in order there keep up the good work you done good! Good spray and clean open and closing at a decent cracking pressure is key!

👍 happy to help!

I'm with Bob Watch the spray they need to be cracking at similar pressures around 3000 psi With no dribble!

Yup I agree! Good on them! Right down to earth well grounded dudes with a focus! I question the usefulness over the road also! the Cab makes huge sense as vocational units As they were saying the visibility alone is a true bonus! The Idea of haveing everything generic is a true savings in the logging game! thing is , everything as it is these days is to create more business built in obsolescence is In order for them to have that they must have something to sell after the sale of a unit! there growth will be limited ! they have no captivation not even the Cab ! I believe the repower idea is a sound idea! repower kits makes sense! still a huge undertaking for most thou!

Thought I would post this ! These guys put a shitload of common sense to use here ! Hopefully they go some where with it ! They definitely wouldn't Be hired by any of the corporate type companies they are too logical! There veiws reflect my thoughts for the most part as far as saving the environment they hit the nail on the head! Not sure how this will work out for over the road use as their main focus is logging how ever.......!

With out an engine brake you will have no issue mounting the Tip turbine ! Just make sure the stud nuts or bolts to mount it are in the correct locations when installing the head bolt/ studs! The three that mount the bracket to hold the cooler box have to be located properly is all!

That is a beautiful trip bro your missing out! We Have done the Alaska Yukon trip twice !

Bro Sorry I'm not a guru on this subject! I apologize for the use of memory word! The engineering dudes figured it out for us ! Some how the extra turns going in didn't match up the turns going out to the diffs and compromised the ECU in one of the chips whether it be memory or OTHER not sure sorry I used that as an example! Again ! The point being the computer over worked it self in that area trying to figure out what to do and couldn't ! The same area got damaged 3 times it showed burn marks each time ! It was and MP10! They ended up reworking the ECU some how OR ( MAYBE reprograming it to ignore the calculation) not sure Don't really mater amazingly enough they worked with us to repair the issue that's the main thing and the customer got satisfied! At that time there were some decent guys in that department don't know about these days!?Guess if you think about it if you stick extra gear reduction in behind everything It may have Miled out the brain of the ECU Duno! So Can't really tell you the solution!

Front after coolers came out early eighties The super liner was the first stab at it i believe I think Mack was the first to introduce them everything was 3 inch tube at that time! but I could be wrong but Mack saw the benefit or air to air long before the rest of the pack water to air was the media of choice for a lot of years! shortly after the superliner was introduced all other manufacturers started using the concept ! The tip turbine set up can be adapted to the 4 valve but would be labor intensive and if you add an engine brake there is a special adaptor to offset the turbine mount and would be scarce as hens teeth to find!
