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?

Should be a non egr engine! 2004 was the anniversary Of EGR Celebrated daily/ weekly / monthly/ yearly at a shop near you! 😣 I would have your fuel pressure checked Also if it has a waste gated turbo it may be sticking ! -

From My observation the DOT make their own rules! They also have a spin the wheel Game they use when they start the week! last week it was licence plate lights this week its mud flaps have to be 8 inches from the ground important shit like that!😖 -
The pto gear is still engaged to the counter shaft if set to tight it will will whine all the time! you don't have that problem with 99 percent pto! it runs off the center section (Main Box) the only suggestion I have for you is to drain the oil remove the pto cover and look inside the back section and see if you can see anything odd!(shift fork rubbing the gear teeth or anything like that ) when the split is in hi! as paul said there are needle / roller bearings on the counter shafts however the sound would likley be there all the time They tend to whine somewhat in hi but not as bad as your describing!

Is the pto mounted on the side of the trans? Did u shim it correctly
-
Well if they can drag it out long enough maybe the warranty will be off then you can buy the new engine or better still you can by a fleet of trucks and maybe they can spend a month or two fixing this one atleast you may have half a chance of getting some work done! While they change out the engine ! 🤔
-
I have one other thought and question is your clutch brake working? If not. Check to see it hasn’t broken and taken out the timing sensor on the flywheel just something to look for
-
First off year of the vehicle helps to identify closer what we’re dealing with! Second if the engine is a red engine your dealer is likely correct. 2 options 6000 in repairs or set fire to it and collect the insurance.😠

Mack Tech is correct in my opinion ! how ever It is possible he could have nicked an oring but with even one missing I believe the engine would be fuel of fuel in short order if it would run at all . This also may be unrelated to the oring job ,the fuel transfer pump seals can leak past the shaft ( its not uncommon !)
-
It will work fine!

Anthem = loss market share
fjh replied to Lmackattack's topic in Modern Mack Truck General Discussion
Yup we will see how it goes thankfully I will retire soon And I get myself out this frustrating spiral ! in my opinion both our countries Governments have done a Great dis service to its peoples long ago! By NOT limiting Foreign Ownership of in house companies and ,land acquisition etc to less than 30 - 40 Percent , Controlling interest of anything inside any country should be that of its people ! Things Are happening now How ever !!! But Too little to late! Horse is out of the barn! Just an opinion -
pressure in the overflow thank while at idle

You got the head of the engine you need to check your liner protrusion should be a min 24 the book says 22 ( that is to low) how ever it will work for a while on a 350 24 is a much better place to be! -
New Western Star leadership eyes vocational growth
fjh replied to kscarbel2's topic in Trucking News
Yup if the Volvo Guys had of made an effort and kept Mack as its Vocational line and let the Volvo trash line do the hyw stuff they would have made better use of the Mack acquisition! But NOPE they continue to chip and chisel at the product and degrade it with there Volvo Dollar store Ways! -
Sounds like you may have a head gasket issue !

2001 mack rd cam shaft problems we think
fjh replied to Moparmike's topic in Engine and Transmission
Depends on what you want If it were mine I would fix!If I had the work for it! -
yup would be nice!
-
AHH ! Good to know!
-
yup MT did all the R/D on that project there You cant go to far wrong following that program ! Your other option is to replace the cam with the AC cam which would Probably cost the same or more! and just as much work! The key is to let the dam thing breath thou the whole manifold setup is VERY restrictive!
-
low fuel pressure code?
-
The heads are the same!
-
TheY run @70 psi or so i think you have to by the orings separately! I believe PAI offers a kit
-
These look like a a fine unit However I can see horrendous outlay on maintenance Due in part to sloppy operation practices people not spending the time to wash up and clean the units after each run! these would be a poor investment in the area where I live anyway! guys just don't give a shit!
