  1. Ok the extra shut down has been deleted on that !
  2. This is likely a turbo issue ! The turbo shaft seal is letting exhaust gases by and pressure into the crank case!
  3. Guess that was my point! Not worth the headaches!
  4. All good bro happy for you ! cheaper than a pump !😎
  5. Can post a picture of the whole fuel pump please!
  6. You could always hire someone to drive the tipper. yup long as you can find the right guy or person ! Ya need to find a person that can think on the fly if something goes sideways they need to be able to deal with it! These types are hard to find in my area!
  7. yes remove the cover and check bolt 13 for tightness ! also check the yoke bolt!
  8. A true patriot!
  9. Yup I agree how ever never had to work one! Just experience working on! And my experience tells me I would have a fuller over a Mack 18 any day of the week!If I was ever to own a truck!
  10. I've always adjusted Tight to 16 and 24 just sayin !
  11. check to make sure the yoke bolt is tight and yup pull the lid and check piston nut! for tightness!
  12. yup how ever them springs can break as pointed out !worth a look see!
  13. The truth is hard to take sometimes Joe!😇
  14. Yup Joey is a legend here ! This place has good info if you hang out long enough stuff rub's off on you! 😁
  15. Do you still have the same turbo on there as you had when you first posted? are you still (Checking or resetting ) the turbo sweep as we discussed? again if the program gets used to a certain sweep on start up it will save it each time it starts! if the vanes get stiff (carboned up) the turbo sweep will change!
  16. Try leaving it in gear and pulling the range shift before you move the stick!
  17. All good get volts up and she will likley sputter to a start ! Get solid fuel to All six she likley light up clean! Been my experience if you get at least two banging it will go! Allot easier on the starter with more than two!
  18. We used to do a ton of exhaust gaskets! Meant disassemble of all injection lines ! We would place bets on who could make it run on the first few cranks ! The only way to do this is to get fuel running at the injection lines at the head!I was the only guy in the shop that would bleed this way cause someone along the line told these people to never bleed at the head! Where the starter out instead I guess! Anyway that’s how to make them start and run on all six 4 turn or less! In this case my way or the highway!😡
  19. Getting the air out can be painful thus doing the injection line at the head ! Get solid fuel to at least three cylinders! No foam
  20. These can be a bastard to get started are you cracking the lines at the head? Not at the pumps! If you’re doing it at the pumps you’ll be there for ever trying! Just sayin!
  21. Two simple things Check the throttle lever is going to its full stroke check the stop for full on! If you have a boost leak it should be laying down a fare amount of gray / black smoke travelling along the road! air filter clean ?
  22. NO! Do not replace the econovance sol that is not the issue! try unplugging the main fuel pump plug the big round one do this a half dozen times and see if this changes your situation. the econovance sol only controls the Timing! nothing to do with starting other than the smoke on startup! the issue is (usually ) inside the fuel pump and should be repaired by a fuel shop! How ever the plug is a possibility! There are other places to think about as well (but by your description) it is in the fuel pump! On the early models (93 being the first year )there was a valve on the front of the fuel pump that valve can be disabled it has one wire going to it if it is there! take the wire off and tape it up and gut the valve! these sometimes failed and the valve was a safety precaution that later was deleted!
  23. Search out this post if you’re interested in regaining power and fuel mileage! A little pricey but ……. if you want to spend money on a good fix ! The main issue with the ai engine is you have to keep it wound out to make any decent power it can’t breathe! Mack AI460 AI427 AMI low torque low horsepower poor fuel mileage granite , dead dog , remediation
  24. He is elderly! 😅 and that's OK .We just got a new vehicle recently (a month ago) ! I'm still having issues pushin buttons to change direction! and am still reaching for the key on the steering column ! Might never get use to this shit! The thing even thinks it knows when you need a coffee break puts a tea cup on the screen!😡
