cxu low air and shut down buzzer not working
fjh replied to cxn613's topic in Modern Mack Truck General Discussion
.most newer units have the buzzers built into the dash can't mess with it if the low air has quit you may have to add in a low air sensor and a seperate buzzer or buy a new dash for an outrageous amount cheapest to add on! -
We once found an issue like this on a CL the alternator was glitching and voltage spikes were causing issues !The engine would stop in the exaact same spot in the rd on the same haul every several days! Something to think on if your still searching! Just Sayin !
-
Yup keep lots on the shelf! Just More dollar store parts ! Maybe the price with come down due to high volume sales!

WELL If anyone happens to see this prototype v8 at the mack museum post them pics I would dearly like to see it as well! I've seen the prototype 6 cyls they were working on posted!
-
K Did they have a prototype built or was it all on paper? Since the Volvo trashers Didn't and haven't used Any of the good ideas they inherited Why would they run with a revised V8! Turds!

Good job!

If your check engine light isn't on you may have a faulty engine brake solenoid or VEB Valve Not unheard of! I'm not a fan of how they are operated however when they work they work Very well!
-
The engine brakes are not loud but iare very effective on these newer units somethings not right

Aim to please

You can check your codes with the cruise control switch's, but you must have a stored code (ie, CEL stays on) You do itby having key on, cruise power switch off, and hold RESUME/ACCEL switch on until CEL light goes out. The light will start flashing the codes. It'll be a two digit #, with a slight pause between seperate codes.

Problem is there are several places and it aint cheap to replace! Remove the gasket from the pan level sensor plug is one fix! However, it can come from the injector harness, it can come from any of the oil pressure sensors monitoring the engine! One fix would be a 2 piece harness adding yet more places for moisture into the harness. Catch 22! A connector at the valve cover would be nice but good luck with that! They aint doin that anytime soon! They are to busy bandaiding the fuel system!
-
At least the At least the mans point of view is honest and factual and backed up by facts for the most part the jury is out on the new common rail how ever from what i've seen of it ,they have really cured nothing, with out getting rid of any contact with cam the injector will still shake and cause sealing issues! just another patch job!

The CL 350 was built Way heavier than the hayes the frame was huge comparatively We sold the mjority of those trucks here on vancouver Island! THE Best of the fat trucks in my opinion! Comparing them to the Hayes Pacific and KW . Built MACK tough!

WD 40 My god thats a good fix!

My self I have not to much bad to say about the easy pedal other than they would have been better off leaving the original adjusting platform (TAB and bolt lock ) setup in place. the winder affair is mediocre at best! The tab and bolt were just fine and were quite predictable and much easier to deal with if the adjuster did get tight! They went backwards when this changed the adjuster and further back with solo in certain applications
-
Exactly ! same here sales department NOTE. No solo and no air assist un less the customer insists period !
-
Yup captivate And Conquer!
-
As stated buy a easy pedal spec ed beyond the torque rating of the engine and your good to go!
