Yup ! Take Note ! This is an example of WHY You pay the shop rates you do! The crap you see in the pic is the stuff The BIG V (SELLs ) to the dealers to work on the stuff the dealer Sells to you ( and it aint cheap ) . Got to have it to have IT to a have it to have a half good chance of repairing issues ,That unit is just one of many needed to repair these new units ( NO books) Your best chance of self repair Is Guys like Mackpro Who Care about what we are doing for our customers and like to see em succeed!

KS Does the Scania V8 have an Engine brake function (Dynatard) they don't mention it! That in my opinion was one of the down falls of the v 8 lack of engine braking!

Google prolink 9000 A prolink 9000 with the vmac 1 cartridge will do what you want to do plus setting parameters and look at switch status Bla bla! Good unit The otc hd code reader will also read and clear codes I have a Mac tools HD code reader works well for it ( SAME as OTC) You can't program just read and clear! The V Mack software is a half decent but I think you got to buy it thru mack IF They still offer it!

You could set the initial timing up about 2-4 degrees probably at 6 at the moment to 10 that would mean instead of a top end timing of 22 degrees you would be at 26 when maxed out Id be watch my pyro thou !

Dealer told me to keep my 95'

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!

CHECK THE LINER PROTRUSION As stated earlier Very important! 25 - 30 thou is good anything less than 22 not great at all!

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!
