Preempted to three in Canada! PMT!😅

I replaced sensor.also has code for egr differential pressure Did you clean out the venturie tube when you replaced the Sensor? if the ecu sees low egr flow it will open the EGR valve more and more and the boost will never build correctly also you may have a sticky EGR valve OR turbo! due to, to much soot from the diff sensor issue ! Just an observation!

For one thing the program will not let you program a truck with miss matched ECU/ VECU The progam compares the two before it will flash the data I beleive! I am no guru on this by any means but I know we tried reflashing donor ECUs It don't work!

So my Guess ! he hasn’t worked on Mack long then! Rest assured this is the likely source ! The evidence was in your hand! The test you tried proved it! 🤨

Question Is the truck standard or auto?

There Are several guys here with that knowledge hang out for a bit Mackpro or someone should chime in!

X 12ms/14 bla bla If they search for new they won’t find anything!

Correct Joe the base program will run the truck 250 hp is better than no hp !He has odviously got hook up with a parts guy that is clueless ! And unable to work with the Volvo trash parts system the info is there it’s just buried! Or swept into a corner in the program somewhere! Just got to know how to get it! Note the reman ecu numbers start with an X! I believe! If they search with out the x it will show no stock!

The trucks vin should tell them what ever it was born with ! just saying! it would still be usable with that info in my mind!Order the correct ecu for the vin and go from there! It has to be combat-able with the vehicle ecu !

Yup your question answered? Now a new pump and oil and filters and start over.

I believe if it was coolant related it would shut down! Joe maybe he has the front cover flex issue! Also check the engine ECU for coolant push! (green pins)

All will be good I am confident in my decision ! I went and assembled the hoe to the cat this morning and everything operates OK but most of the pins and stuff are quite loose I had my mind made up before I went to install this it wasn't the machine for me! But I wanted to help out by mounting it to the machine to enable her to easier sell it She should be asking way less for it ! 12000 way to much ! Maybe 8000 Scrap its worth 2000 Lot more work involved here than I'm prepared to offer up! Want to be able to work it, not work on it all the time! Would be just patchin the patches it would be endless!

Paul ! We have done the same test on turbos with out the brake! If you have an engine with excessive blow by it pays to do this test ! Standard turbos and VGT turbos can screw up to! It was quite a chronic thing with stealth thou! The valve springs were different on these I installed one once and the valve springs had be changed as well as what MT is saying there!

Amen to this ! We had a customer running from here to California He took out countless turbos! The back pressure on long grades would push into the base of the engine and he would be followed by a huge cloud of steam from the draft tube! Un fortunately I would leave well enough alone! This operated off stage 2 of the switch on the dash!

OK So I bring the rig home next weekend if all goes well ! The 580 has been looked after ! All the glass is intact the pins in the 41 bucket are fairly tight. the hoe pins have some wear but that is to be expected! I Am stoked to have found this machine! It is the Cummins engine not sure if its turboed don't really care to much! horse power is not going to be much of an issue here for me ! not sure of the year again it don't mater its the machine of my dreams basically for a decent price! $ 21000 these have been priced way up there here , all I have looked at have been over $30000 and beat to shit! So Any pointers are appreciated! One of my old customers is going to PU the Machine its a bit far for me to road it! It is registered for road use however Not interested in driving it 35 miles! Also we have to pass the scales I'm not to eager to poke a bear with a stick! if you know what I mean! Thanx for input so far Guys!

Been my observation The single axle park brake was mainly on road tractors that never had adverse to park on! Also it was an attempt by sales stalf to keep the price of the unit down by 50 bucks! Kind like having electric window winders! 😂

How is your oil level ? is it rising? have an oil sample done you may have fuel dilusion !

Yup I think For what I want to do the Case would be a smarter move and the chances of getting parts is far more likely! As for Terrys comment there I'm confident with either or Engine Perkins is a Good power plant too! My Davey brown is Perkins and has been bullet proof ! That said it only has 4000 hrs on it but the work I have been doing with it has been more brutal than any farm work by far! The case will help take the pressure off Davey some what, the heaver work now be passed off to the Case! however its one more Machine to look after! And , The price of having land to look after! Call it the strata Fee to a town dweller !😅 As a side note I intend on mounting the hoe as a gesture to the woman that is dealing with her husband with dementia as she will need to sell this unit to some one and if the hoe is mounted it will be an easier sell for her ! Having Gone thru the situation she's in recently our selves, I know any extra help is a bonus Its quite a big struggle! Any way if things don't work out with the case I may take the JD ! We will See! Thanx for your comments Guys!

He needs to address the elephant in the room first bud! My thought! And yup you might get bit at some point how ever these can be chronic depending on whos doing the job before you! And how much attention to detail was paid! AND The odd time a filter head or transfer pump goes fubar!

It just contributes to compromising an already week link is all it’s not written down anywhere however if you study the working of this trans it becomes quite clear that it could help to damage the synchro shorten it’s life somewhat!

So I have run across a case 4x4 580k I’m going to look at tomorrow still not to confident on buying a track machine!too much bull work when shit goes wrong! It’s twice the money but more along the lines of what I’d like and a little lighter foot print! 4cyl Cummins I believe !

Not usually ! The back section kit is the way to go as shown there! We saw a fair few failures specially with 2 speed reverse enabled ! There inlies my recommendation to dis able or not use on the fly! I have seen that syncro cone ripped to shreads on one occasion! It is amazing thou how stronge the trans is when you see the inside as Pro mentioned! aside from that syncro! not that many mechanical issues otherwise just the electrics !

A short on one will shut down three ! That's why they run so shitty!

They usually throw up injector codes for this! Not uncommon for the wiring to do this that is why there is no stock anywhere!
