Don’t kid yourself I know you’re not! But you only have to get on a creeper and roll under that Pete to see the same dumbass engine mounts bla bla bla! There ain’t nothing easy about doing shit to these either! They hired the engineers from the same schools that Volvo did! just sayin!

Hopefully there is enough old iron out there to get you to retirement! Joe! We best stop giving away all our secrets here!😂

Sucks to be you bro.😂

Sad but true! You are correct on both counts! I swore I would quit when the drive by wire happened! I didn’t! I kinda evolved to it! That said it’s gone beyond what I want to think about! To much bs now not willing to evolve any longer don’t like the direction our and almost all industries have gone! i surrender! DONE!

Yup descent power when running good! Luck of the draw as to the last statement! No secret on where I stand on these! That said no better no worse than the rest of the throw away trucks being produced these days ! KW PETE and all others not exempt from the previous statement! Good luck to you on your search for the perfect truck! Beauty is in the eye of the beholder!😁 Statement Not intended as click bait just my opinion! Just sayin!

You can also pull the cap off the rear of the big range cyl(4 9/16 head bolts) in the truck Check for a broken snap ring! this is a sometimes easy fix BUT Pay ATTENTION to how it comes apart take pictures makes easier for reassembly !

Good call V. Pays to read ! if it’s an rd check the vehicle module under the dash kick if the windshield leaks it can corrode the plug and cause the throttle to become inactive also! just something to look for!

also make sure your engine brake is turned off to be sure unplug the relays! The three second run almost sounds engine brake killing the engine when oil pressure comes up! An o-p shut down would shut down after a minute!

Bring lots we will be here a while!😂

That local Bar is sounding pretty possible here! Worst Case scenario news Bro . Sorry man! No the overhaul will be more than the truck is worth in my opinion Its bad enough you have what you have! That job there DEPENING on the damage is going to be 30 40 grand a big hole to dig out of Don't add insult to injury! unfortunately all the fuzz and contaminates can fall into the pan! price a reman engine and weigh the two off! 30 40 grand vs reman short block or long block! this way you have I believe 2 year a warranty on the whole shmeer!! and less down time! And don't forget you will likely be buying a compressor drive gear and clutch ect! This way your adding value to the truck as well! if you decide to flog it! It Will have value if the warranty is transferable! Again My opinion!

Yup good on you For posting your fix! All these type of posts spread the wealth of knowledge of stuff to try when chasing down issues like this! The post indicates that the injector was stuck open in my brain compression being pushed back into the fuel system! GOOD JOB!

You make a mighty fine point there Joe taking full gears changes your pause time between gears ! My self( NOT A TRUCK DRIVER) never have to wind up in the lower gears and never split the lower gears just take full gears for the first get it rolling stage Engine brake usually off simplifies the double clutch or wait time for me I usually just stick not clutch !That said the trucks are usually MT or a tractor! a loaded truck changes the program a bit as does using the engine brake! however.............! Vid would be good in this case ! It may be a case of driver training in that case don't look to me for advice! Me dumb like stick when it comes to truck driving!CLUELESS 🤣

Good Call RED!

Tried that trick with an allison in a hayes log truck once wrench when flyin under the bench! Can't feather an allison either in or out!

Worth checking! Once flew from our town to a remote community on the main land prepared to do a range pack in the woods. Got there tighten the yoke bolt and flew back home. 8 hr service call to tighten a bolt. That’s why I mentioned it ! Could save an expensive situation!😅

Ran across this twice got lucky i suppose! just thru it out there!🤣

We found the range pack would fail on the low side more often than not! Also check the trans yoke bolt for tightness they some times work loose! also the double shifter boot caused issues of popping it out on the main box on some units! just something else to look at! Just sayin!

So it sounds like the range clutch pack could be toast ! ARE YOU PRESELECTING THE RANGE SHIFT? MANDITORY Bro! I or are you are grinding on the split

yup dogs breakfast on that there bro!

Yup you need a mack/ eaton trans bellhousing mounts on the trans for E9 or any Mack engine any 18 speed fuller pulled from a Mack will fit behind an E9 you may have to alter the clutch cable mount and arm! ! Western star and Mack had similar ideas on engine mounts however Mack Mounts are better ! Way easier to remove than Star in most cases due to the clutch arm on the star!!

Is the code gone? Can't help much with out more info! You may have a bad injector ! try crackin injection lines one at a time see which one does not effect the engine rpms! post all of your symptoms is the engine smoking if so what colour is the smoke!?

So heres what I suggest first ! Next time this happens don't touch a thing ! How ever check to see if the heater fan still works! If not you have a weak accessory relay !Top of the list is check the codes! post what you find! what your purposing to do would help to have a donor truck or you have donor engine or buy you injection lines linkage bla bla a bunch of subtle stuff you don't think about!

Still working on the side I hope? Folks will miss your work ethic !
