Check the valve on the trailer the emergency line goes to from the truck remove the fitting some times there is s screen in this fiting that plugs up in this valve!

Sorry man You have to give them time to get it sorted When truck dosent give up any codes it makes for a real witch hunt It can be any number of issues from the turbo sticking to low fuel pressure ! Hopefully teck support will help them with it! you must under stand that the computer dosent tell a guy everything! Just points a general direction and sometimes not even that ! The rest is an experience thing on the part of the teck!

It would be nice to have a smoking gun

Who designed/styled the Superliner?
fjh replied to sodly's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
In my opinion (and I DON'T like COEs cause I had to work on the stuff! ), the MH IS the best cab over built by ANYONE Period! Then and now! -
Bud Is the fault light working? is it throwing up any codes? Its possible the( torque limit) switch on the trans is cutting the power back, if its not throwing codes! check there! Hard wiring the pump was quite common the plugs tended to give greif! The torque limit switch will cut the power almost exactly in 1/2! 15 psi boost max the engine should produce around 25-30 normally

Production of V-8 Maxidyne under way by Mack Trucks
fjh replied to kscarbel2's topic in Trucking News
I'm Not positive but I believe mack pioneered chassis mounted charge air the E9400 superliner was the first of anyone's chassis I saw with a cooler on the rad! before it became common place! No one else's hood was designed to accommodate it at the time! KS may know a little on this subject!? -
Road speed sensor?

Bummer
-
Maybe we should bitch? They spend the big bucks to be able to be a fricking dealer we need access to the good old stuff as well as the not so great new stuff! But to quote KS there trying to get rid of the Good old stuff to sell ?? new stuff! I suppose ! ?
-
Thanx Bud that would have done the trick read the post ahead of this my project went a bit sideways. Our block ( was) a serial 8F0058 Thanx fred
-
Yup warrenty don't pay for stupidity def in the fuel is expensive as well
-
Oh well, if people are lucky enough to stumble onto this site, they will receive as much help as we can give them with our background and others of us guys who have been with the original company, and those who have dealt with the real product for years. They won't likely be totally stranded. Even if Volvo may have turned their back on them, we won't.
-
So we finally got the engine tore down today and unfortunately the block is toast this engine has never been pulled down. there were beads from the factory block cleaning process thru out the block number 5 and 6 the upper oring groove was totally gone haven't seen this in years used to see this back when you could still get warrenty for it. 40 year warrenty coverage do they offer this? Probably not?! We are now scrounging up another block we will se how this goes.
-
We found it luckily in one of our parts BOOKS!!! The buffoon's have moved or removed as Mackpro said ! I guess they dumped the E Literature on this subject deeming It unnecessary Rubbish I suppose!!!! duno!?
-
Ya I was hoping you would be able to find it gues they don't want us working on old stuff might put the new stuff to shame . Oh wait it already has!! maybe carbel2 will chime in best investigator on this site!
-
We are rebuilding our show dog it packed up a rod bearing and I need to find the Liner oring TSB Anyone know where to find this document! The liner o-rings changed by engine serial number Back in the day And I want to be sure I'm using the correct o-rings Thanx Fred

Amen

Solenoid Valve won't be cheap if you can live with it do so you could trynew orings on the valve if you can find some .these are dandy little engines and worth keeping running.
-
Under the front valve cover
-
If it has timing control try unplugging it the orings sometimes give grief if it stays smoky with the timing unplugged you either got to repair the solenoid or unplug it totally and set the timing to 16 or so deg btdc its quite an involved process drain the coolant remove the cover pop the gear lose from the pump and reset the motor to 16 and put the gear back on the pump
-
Obviously, Liking and proving are two different things ,Ya need to re install the injectors on the bench and see if they protrude differently on the failed hole! Sounds like you've tried everything else!The washer is the thickness of a dine you likely would have noticed but worth looking!
