  1. Good find I for one have never heard of this function This definitely may help others here!
  2. Hopefully the whole back of the engine don't got to come off! however your not likely going to get off with out doing that! Big project!
  3. As pro mentioned Could get pricey in a hurry !the bull wheel can make a hell of a mess!
  4. There is a whole bunch of tools you could by to assist in the removal of the rockers and cam! That said there's not anything you can't improvise ! You need some heavy rubber bands to tie the engine brake slaves in place There is a special hook affair to lift the cam out a strap and patients will work! You need to mark the gear to the bull gear! Bla bla bla! This said Check the bull gear these have had issues with coming loose! something caused the cam to break! BEFORE you dig to far you may have a deeper can of worms there! take a bar and check for any side play in that bull gear! There are guys here with may more MP8 experience than my self so wait for a response from Some of the others ! Just sayin!
  5. Got some seriously big diffs in it for a rolloff look like 55s
  6. If it has a nite switch check that too!
  7. But Mack is different? Its taken a lot longer to crush the Mack brand But It will come, Vack cab will come at some point ! We all complain about it but that's what happens when money is your motive! And so it needs to be I guess! The quality and pride out the window! in the name of progress! You didn't mention the easily accessible tow hooks for the frequent road side assistance stops! You also didn't mention the free Roadside assistance Card By American express Low interest credit Card for your motel stays while in the shop waiting for parts free with every purchase! 😜
  8. There is very little we can do to help here with out the codes or the computer program to read the truck take it to a dealer have it looked at! We can stab in the dark all day long here post the cheap and easy stuff however you need to take this magic stuff to the dealer for the most part!
  9. OR the other way around! all in how you view it!
  10. Very possible we have had EGR coolers failed right out of the box too!
  11. There was an issue with the coolant tank pin holes on these also try changing the lid on the tank!
  12. Yup If, Barry don't got it ,you don't need it!
  13. Unfortunately they chose the cheap way out again with this dollar store fuel system ! They likly would have solved their injector cup issues had they used a proper HPCR system Owell it sort of works! Its 50% better than I expected!
  14. Really its about who you know and not what you know! We had a woman service manager (Title ) for quite a few years ! She was assume! extremely good at dealing with the Mack trolls , customers and staff And if she didn't know something she would come get one of us that did! Nothing wrong with that from my perspective! Of coarse she was also doing warranty and everything else that was chucked at her so she was busy . Between the 5 or 6 of us our shop basically ran its self we knew what had to get done we just do it! That said the whole ball game changed after she was moved into a different position things started falling to bits! They hired service manager after service manager everyone worse than the next! Kind of like the politics above! The last service guy caused me great stress as he was a micro manager ! As of last july I opted to go down to part time to distance my self from the asshole and I stayed until they were able to hire someone to replace my ass and now am happily retired they since replaced that guy with an recruit another guy I would not have been able to work under so All is good! Politics are EVERYWHERE! Fortunately now I only have the government BS politics To deal with!
  15. OH YAAAA! However if I bought one I’d max out the extended warranty and plan on trading in not long after the warranty goes out . That passenger side of the engine is pretty busy.
  16. Bro I don't even know what model of truck you guys are working on here? Just remember ! some times the buzzer is in or behind the main dash panel! Sorry real late in this how ever! on the CV the buzzer is sometimes built right in into the dash! Just sayin
  17. Gunite and meritor drums and shoes have really gone up in price here Pays to shop around!
  18. All work and no play makes joe a dull boy!😜
  19. They MAYBE thats the point, we would buy pads and just do them in place on the axle! sometimes quite pricey!
  20. Yup these are likly Mack brakes and Volvo would rather you buy a new Truck! Might want to look into a second mortgage or maybe you have a first born child you want to trade! 😔
  21. Joe How do you advertise now seems to be working? Build it they will come! the thing I worry about is getting stuck with parts bills ! labor only parts supplied by customer cash up front! unless your confident in there ability to pay!
  22. AMBAC is a screw! I Wouldn't give it more than one turn ! Just sayin!
  23. just to add here check engine or lightening bolt light on ?
  24. Yup In my opinion THE best cabover built by anyone! That said I hate CABOVERS to work on! Mainly having to jack up the cab and having the jack hoses fail! and hitting my head on the cab steps !😔
