Joe When did the power problem show up?If it showed up around the time of the rebuild I would be suspecting the wrong cam key was installed ,there are three cam key selections.Not sure which key was to be used for the 427 but this could be the problem.How ever there are other places the intake can leak the air compressor inlet and intake gaskets is another possible place the hose on the air compressor inlet is a comon leak on some models of truck CV model this was quite common if the comp is plumbed to the inlet manifold check this out.

I like green myself, But not sure if its that great for the system with all the heat !as for the screen Maybe every to years or so duno maybe 68 has an opinion!

Ya don't just flip the switch while moving thats for sure !Seen lots of mangled idlers for sure! Ya can replace em in the truck but it aint easy,Ya need to stop then switch If I had a truck and seen my driver fliping the switch rollin I'd kick him . Best dump truck trans going in my opinion!Nice selection, If ya got a long way to go in reverse it sure is nice to get ater and go!

Joe Ya should tell em to check for boost leaks check the air cleaner ect if the pyro gets that hot that fast its not likly getting enough air!
-
Can you give us some more info!What year is the truck ? What trans? What have they checked so far.Have they ever done a cam job on the truck? what kind of boost does it make, does it smoke if so what color is the smoke. Things to check fuel preasure , boost leaks ! What does the pyro run at? Let us know!

Nothin wrong with a twelve speed! there only real weak point is backing up! If your doing alot of backing up ,( with lots of weight up steep grades) it pays to replace the rear counter shaft bearings once every couple of years! An observation

How late is late model?In the newer program a Mack dealer has a calibrate throtle screen has this been done?Also in the programing there is some settings You need to have the throtle setting min/max ticked in the throtle options Not All speed !This ussually corects these problems.

Your stuck with the mack motor as stated the cl is the only mack with Other engines Cummins only.Cat is a fine motor up to the point of twin turbo!If its going to be the mack your choises are limited.
-
The problem with these is they pop and bang going around corners!If you happen to have this setup in a fire truck or somthing packing big weight all the time its a pain!The other down fall being you need to run even tires!
-
your Its the best way to deal with it!I pretty much do this each time cause we have to warrenty what we do! It pays to take the time in my case!It looks like such a simple jobTo, but can be a PIA if you dont take the time!

Hey Ed I have found it best to put two orings on that one in the groove one above,( I'm not positive of the number) Also have found that you pretty much got to remove the fill tube from the block and start from scratch to aline everything properly And to be double sure I fill the cavity above the oring with hi heat! silcone Tighten turbo drain and block bolts lightly till seated then snug up! Just an observation!
