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!

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!😂
