2006 CV713 New Head exhaust pin has broke twice in a month
fjh replied to TurdFerguson's topic in Engine and Transmission
Did it break on the same cyl twice? It could be a valve issue! Did the heads not have a warranty? -
I have a fair knowledge of the v8 what are your questions I will try to answer!
-
The rear mounts you have are correct ! The front are likley correct! The later model RW had a single Rear mount! Derived from the MH cab over chassis! The RW was derived from the W cab over Chassis Also known as a cruse liner ! R Cab on a Cruseliner frame! The MH frame became a basis for the RW and the CL !

So there is alot of posts on this subject on the site do a search! check the cheap and easy stuff it can be many things as simple as the fuel tank vent plugged to bad fuel lines! Start tring stuff and eliminating things!
-
Should work fine! Never seen this happen thats a crappy situation! seen a few broken springs but never a crack like that!
-
Agree ! They took advice and knowledge from the masses and personal experience! and put it into practice!👍 That said you need repeat business to stay in business There are no captive parts on that unit! That is what the big guys count on there is a method in their madness And it works once you got one your trapped ! whether it be a Pete A KW or Volvo trash its the way its designed!

You’re right about answering your own questions! Slobbering drooling or dribbling ! Not right! new tips are in order there keep up the good work you done good! Good spray and clean open and closing at a decent cracking pressure is key!

👍 happy to help! -
I'm with Bob Watch the spray they need to be cracking at similar pressures around 3000 psi With no dribble!

Yup I agree! Good on them! Right down to earth well grounded dudes with a focus! I question the usefulness over the road also! the Cab makes huge sense as vocational units As they were saying the visibility alone is a true bonus! The Idea of haveing everything generic is a true savings in the logging game! thing is , everything as it is these days is to create more business built in obsolescence is In order for them to have that they must have something to sell after the sale of a unit! there growth will be limited ! they have no captivation not even the Cab ! I believe the repower idea is a sound idea! repower kits makes sense! still a huge undertaking for most thou!

Thought I would post this ! These guys put a shitload of common sense to use here ! Hopefully they go some where with it ! They definitely wouldn't Be hired by any of the corporate type companies they are too logical! There veiws reflect my thoughts for the most part as far as saving the environment they hit the nail on the head! Not sure how this will work out for over the road use as their main focus is logging how ever.......!

With out an engine brake you will have no issue mounting the Tip turbine ! Just make sure the stud nuts or bolts to mount it are in the correct locations when installing the head bolt/ studs! The three that mount the bracket to hold the cooler box have to be located properly is all!

That is a beautiful trip bro your missing out! We Have done the Alaska Yukon trip twice !

Bro Sorry I'm not a guru on this subject! I apologize for the use of memory word! The engineering dudes figured it out for us ! Some how the extra turns going in didn't match up the turns going out to the diffs and compromised the ECU in one of the chips whether it be memory or OTHER not sure sorry I used that as an example! Again ! The point being the computer over worked it self in that area trying to figure out what to do and couldn't ! The same area got damaged 3 times it showed burn marks each time ! It was and MP10! They ended up reworking the ECU some how OR ( MAYBE reprograming it to ignore the calculation) not sure Don't really mater amazingly enough they worked with us to repair the issue that's the main thing and the customer got satisfied! At that time there were some decent guys in that department don't know about these days!?Guess if you think about it if you stick extra gear reduction in behind everything It may have Miled out the brain of the ECU Duno! So Can't really tell you the solution!

Front after coolers came out early eighties The super liner was the first stab at it i believe I think Mack was the first to introduce them everything was 3 inch tube at that time! but I could be wrong but Mack saw the benefit or air to air long before the rest of the pack water to air was the media of choice for a lot of years! shortly after the superliner was introduced all other manufacturers started using the concept ! The tip turbine set up can be adapted to the 4 valve but would be labor intensive and if you add an engine brake there is a special adaptor to offset the turbine mount and would be scarce as hens teeth to find!

Boost or pyro????
fjh replied to Licensed to kill's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
I too vote pyro! I personally would dump the diff temp ! Put a boost gauge in ! Both tell a tail if you know what your looking for! Diff temp for a toy hauler is useless in my mind unless you plan on running the diff out of oil! Must have list for me are the two mentioned as well as voltage / water temp oil pressure ! -
It varies even between provinces here ! As we all know they never do away with laws and rules they just Add more of them!! When I got my mechanics trade ticket We were able to attach the Air endorsement to the license That enabled me to drive any Wheelbarrow / car or bicycle with air brakes! These days you have to take a 15000 dollar coarse to Drive anything over 17300 with air! AND Rightfully so! as in the passed 5 to 10 years the increase in trucks and loads hitting overpasses has increased 10 fold! At least 5 last year alone in Vancouver area here! That said Safer to ride your horse! as the population increases the dumber they get!
-
Nice to see you hanging out Kevin! Nothing sounds nicer than a V8 Still miss the sound on our hyws here! the v8 and cab over population is slim here now ! We sold loads of these in the eight's ! Now a days the engine sound would be stifled anyway by the DPF ! you wouldnt be able to hear how pretty they sound anyway! 🙄
-
That came with 300 or more HP if I recall ! 285 was usually air to air only!
-
Well that sucks I have heard of valves sticking on occasion ! guess you will find out as you pull it down! Does your unit have a chassis mounted charge air? (bonus) or tip turbine style intercooler😪 ! ?

New/low mileage Granite with wandering axles
fjh replied to timmer62's topic in Driveline and Suspension
I can see by the pic the ubolts are not as tight as they should be! These are to be torqued to 1600 ft pounds I also notice the spring packs apear to be non antisway packs which doesn't help the situation ! Anti sway have more and thicker leaves above the three bottom leaves and have less give to them! For some Dam reason the pump manufacturers use or spec the cheapest chassis they can get their hands on ! Springs to small not enough brakes 24/24 brake pots ect ! you also have the cheapest spring saddle for the job there ! Your saddle has know ears athe very outsid of the saddle ! It kind of angers me in away that they are allowed to build stuff this way! Something that is eternally loaded gets built to such low standards! Putzmeister ,Concord and others all guilty of doing this! There seems to be no rules in place for these units! check out the different styles here are some examples !

fjh replied to Salpolit's topic in Engine and Transmission
I much rather have the light set up its so much quicker ! And more accurate ! That said if your in a situation where the tone ring in the pump has moved. pressure timing is the best second method ! I have also used a drop of fuel on number one delivery valve to get it close on one occasion due to a slipped tone ring! and know flow timer available! you have to have a keen eye for that one put your glasses on! 🙄 Got to do what you got to do! -
If your harness has oil push you need to replace it and the offending sensors ! Also ! So you wouldn't happen to be running an extra trans ? (b box) We added a four speed b box to a titan at one point for low bed heavy haul work at one point It maxed out the memory in the ecu and put the truck into derate after 3-6 months of use! Went thru three ecus before engineering was able to tell us what had happened and why! And conjure up a work around! The board in the ecu had a similar look to it!

The goal is to deliver enough pressure to lift the delivery valves not sure of the pressure Joey! It’s abit time consuming as you need to cap off the return lines ! -

fjh replied to Salpolit's topic in Engine and Transmission
That is called flow timing and is the optimal way to time it it flows till it stops that is port closing ready to inject! if you don’t got stuff to work with the above is the next best option!
