I ain't no truck driver Have no real world experience I can only offer up the stuff I hear from the customers I have worked with over the years! The few customers that had the V ride set up Liked it! As you can see by the pic it has Good Flex as the four wheelers call it!

So the rumor I heard was it was to do away with any possibility of the crank ( flexing ) more arcuate timing ! Don't forget the previous versions of the green goblin everything was front mounted just like everything else ! I doubt it had anything to do with cab over designed trucks! Who knows if this is true ! another backwards move is the press together cam ! A bold step forward ? or backwards in the name of 5 pounds of weight? or just another place to have hard to find problems! Just saying

I wish there were no political options allowed on the site just gets people stirred up! Truck related stuff! Important shit!😂

Yup something political happen rd and they left ? Unfortunate! Mack technician another loss miss them guys !

Yup don’t matter to me I don’t work on it ! How ever I do see the forest for the trees! These guys are also stuck in there ways determined to flog a dead horse!

It’s half as bad cause they didn’t focus on the problem ! the plungers! Do you see the three electrical fired one’s failing ? The ones that fail now are the plunger operated ones! Correct?

The whole shmeer is garbage! Volvo has had issues with cups for long before Mack came along I worked with a fellow who was with Volvo for years and he claimed the cup thing has always been an issue! Got worse as combustion pressure in creased

Correct ! Service. In my mind it don’t matter where you control the flow ! But never had a degree in engineering! 😞

Correct ! These mp engines would have a lot less problems had they gone to a proper common rail system! The dollar store Delfy system only half fixed the injectors dancing in the cups! In my opinion the egr valve mounted on the cold side of the cooler would help to!

Yup sorry Joe have to call a spade a spade! Vac ride put camel back to the back of the line buddy!

I would be interested to hear everyone's comments on the above subject! The first of many of my thoughts would be replacing the fuel system with a proper HPCR system Bosch type system! the Engine mounts would be high on my list as well!

Very likely I believe the chain inside them was added for safety ! think that was the added fail safe! Pro could elaborate I stand corrected if this isn't the case ! Not a fan of the torque rod set up on these how ever ................ It doesn't MATTER WHAT I THINK! 😂

Unfortunately in my opinion you are correct on all counts there Onyx ! That V/ M ride is one of the better ideas The V brand applied to the trucks ! The only weak spot is the axle pedestals made of rubber with a safety chain inside the bonded rubber breaks free and the block tends to dance around on top! we sold a fare few MR Garbage packers with this stuff it was standing up quite well ! I had several customers that brought some older Volvo dump trucks in for inspection Every six months and this was a fairly common occurrence ! Volvo ran this set up for a fair few years be for they offered it up on the Mack brand ! You don't want to take advantage of that pictured articulation to much OR you will soon be replacing the block ends on a regular basis. just an observation!

Well said James!

If you were exhibiting any of the other issues in this post ! chances are there diagnostic is correct that said its a costly affair!

Half the stuff has Mack stamped into it! Good choice for alternate parts!

If you have rubber frame to diff torque rods try removing them for a day see if this helps! We had customers that said removing these made a world of difference traction wise on dump trucks ! That said Mack at one point offered sealed grease torque rods on certain models MR maybe that had few issues on garbage packers may be an alternative! ! Maybe give it a try! If you have two remove one or both to try it! the down fall being the suspension will dog track some on turns! Just something to try!

done that a dozen times Barry ! Changed to Gmail last year and its done this since ! for what ever reason it still thinks BMT is Spam! tthe below post went straight to spam 12:44 yesterday ! your post didn't come thru at all today! 2013 CHU MP8 to MP10 swap Rate this topic By Walkyrie_Engineering, Yesterday at 12:44 PM in Modern Mack Truck General Discussion

Well you can thank Mack Technician, for that! Sure miss his posts!

Would have been neat to know how competitive this price was in the day to the Dimond REO, White, KW , ect of the era .

I agree you would need a few good skill sets to pull off that miracle From Engineering to programing as well as pull your welding and mechanical shit out of the case if your up to the challange!

Well Its alright we will get used to it ! The push note still going to my spam mail thou! I got used to that long ago didn't like it but could never fix it! the first post with the new program came direct to my mail yesterday see what happens today! interesting to see if it now comes to mail! maybe Barry knows how to fix this!???

Pro he likely has a V8 these air throttles are obsolete! I is think he is trying to find an alternative! Linkage from a CH may work! with a few Mods! specially at the engine end! I believe that a set up from an earlier superliner would be beter!

see the above post!

May be the the throttle lever on the fuel pump it is spring loaded as well as all the other springs ! check the pinch bolt for tightness and the little spring on the lever shaft for wear!
