Absolutely ! Engineering is the left hand , Us people on the floor are the right hand ! The left hand and the right hand are separated by a big Cement wall ! The leftys never get to see what the rightys have to do to fix their F ups! Rightys re invent the wheel more than they will ever know!

And the Volvo? just sayin!

Buddy You already 😍 ARE! 😀

MP ! I guess I got to say is why would they make it easy ? Nothing they do on the maintenance side is easy! CAN'T MAKE MONEY WITH EASY! And besides that was a Good Mack design feature Can't use any of them good Mack Ideas! The list is long the good ideas they chucked out when they took over . example First one being the centra max offered for a 1/2 year on MP7, engine mounts ( changed any of these lately )? cheep and simple as it gets!, As for the Cab R/D They will morph the Volvo Cab And put a redesigned different looking hood on it just like they did with GMC AND the others , put a bulldog on the hood, put some puppy markings on it, install doggy print floor mats in it , call it a Mack! that will be the only easy stuff they will do! Will see! This day has been coming for a long time! Way longer than I ever anticipated! and it still ain't here yet however it is inevitable!

Yup! Lets all join in on the High Waste society Everyone! Keep the economy going! 😄 Chihuahua Power!

MP ! You are in my opinion correct ! That said its been 20 years ! How ever it lasted longer than I predicted ! If it happens !This is now the total end of the Mack !The last shred of the truck we grew up with! It was inevitable ! The completion of the cycle of Volvo evolution as was done with Gmc /White and all the others that were taken over by the evil empire ! THE BORG of the truck manufacturer industry 🤣 ! When will the Empire Strike back! Put A Chihuahua on the hood were Done! YOU HAVE NOW BEEN ASIMULATED !🤪

If it has an engine brake Pull the relays and try a start! One of our guys had this happen just the other day! Give it a shot!

Good call on your part ! If it ain't broke don't fix it! you can always address it later IF there is a problem! If its not grinding on the range its good to go I do recommend replacing the oil thou ! This is a place wear operators tend to neglect and in the case of this trans its rather important I beleive the property's of the oil change over time ! Fresh oil once a year or two maintains This!

Agree with the above Don't let them touch the dam Trany till your diff is repaired! AND MAYBE never again ! Sounds like an up sell to me! For no good reason! Just my opinion!

usually this is caused by a blown gasket! Turbo base gasket or exhaust gasket Happens when the EGR valve closes!

I am retired now ! However as Joe mention located behind the def tank low side ! The wiring on these is a always suspect quite often we had found breaks in the cluster of wire near the tank ! That said the sensors were also a pain usually had to be replaced as a pair for out of parameter codes ! NOT NO COMUNICATION codes!

Sounds good,Sounds like your in good hands! keep us up to date! Were Rootin for ya!

With This said! You can hardly see the lifters one can be cracked and the cam may not show any sign of damage yet The failure could come a day to weeks from next startup! OR it my not its a crap shoot! In terms of years this engine sounds like its is well into the era the new style were in production and he my have a good outcome here!

Yes an engine can self destruct in any kind of run away event diesel or otherwise! once there is no governed speed all bets are off!

When it runs again we will all know! Good luck with the KW too hopefully it stays away from the shop for a bit ! and you guys bought lots of warranty on emissions stuff! The down fall of MOST ALL equipment these days is cheap wire / cheap sensors The tech would be ok for the most part if it weren't for those two things they can put people in space but they can't build a reasonable sensor or good wire with a few more strands in it for a truck these days! They need to Go All the way here and go fiber optic ! Better yet wireless! then they could hire All Computer nerds to work on stuff!

We replaced Etech due the above situation last year forward thrust was right wasted ! They left it with out free pedal tooooo long!

Does it have shims now? Is it throwing a cam position code?

Decent hope it all works out for ya ! Just keep an ear on it for a popping sound in the future as stated earlier! Over speed can crack a lifter and it will run fine for a bit! Hopefully It has newer style lifters and it will be Good! I am Rooting for ya!

So the thing is did the noise just start or was it like that when you got the truck? The upper bearings in the these do get some wear over time and they loose there pre load and move around a bit and make some noise They can operate like this for years! That said you don't know the history.....!check the drain plug if good change the oil 75/90 synth see how it goes! That said the model and setup you got there is my favorite lots of room to work standup oil change Yesssss! Just My opinion!

any noise in 13? is this truck new 2 u? these trans rarely give Main case problems the back section is the weak point! That said do an oil change on the trans and check for pieces if looks ok keep on keepin on ! And keep the oil changed once a year or two!

How do you know its a She?

Didn't realize we were racein ! 😅

Does this truck have cummins power? if so make sure the trans yoke is tight! Also Do you have mack diffs if so be sure to have even tire sizes!

The most common issue is injector cups ! You are quite fortunate for the piece to have just got into the turbo ! We have seen several of these failures ! where by a piece would fall out of the valve end up on one side of the piston and take out the liner as well! Because the piston has no skirt to speak of the piston will cock in the bore and easily break the liner !As for the heads cracking I'm not sure its a pandemic by any means shit happens some times ! Also if have deleted the egr this can cause a bit of problems if the proper tune was Not installed into the program to account for the lack of EGR!

But my Little Micro A$$ was not eligable.. Really ? I created and account years ago just so I could cross reference stuff ! was way better than the Volvo Turd parts setup! that said never intended on buy stuff!
