    Thanx however ! I will correct you Onyx! I am only a messenger on these new engines I do NOT Work on them or (Try not to)! I Am how ever around them All day long and pick up on (MOST )of the fixes going on in our shop ! To be an expert on these you have to work on them trouble shoot them on a daily basis !I just pass on what I have been seeing and how we are dealing with this rubbish! Also Roadpower observe This condition may worsen after hard pulls just putting around town with no load it may lessen in severity !this will confirm or solidify the diagnostic ! Just sayin

    the complaint you have sounds like injector cup issues These tend to have issues with injectors leaking compression into the fuel gallery!

    The S does stand for Single that is for sure the 180 is the issue Isn't no listing for that diff anywhere in the old manuals I have! crs 116 117 150 155 bla bla bla no 180! it may be a trick time waster question From these retards that write these USELESS exam's that have nothing to do with a persons repair knowledge or ability!

    yup we just did one of these! get the sensor! make sure your inlet boot is sealing on the hood just something to try for the other code

    in my mind a complete engine harness is in order as well as replacing the the spinner you may end up in the same spot a month from now if you don't ! the oil as mentioned can come from all of the above sources ! if the spinner is restricted this adds to the issue! even if the base pressure is not showing up a code it may be just on the edge you just don't know! Just my opinion

    just askin this question cause this question was brought up on a Mack exam ! I beleive it to be a hoax time waster question! If it was then it did its job cause we could not find any such animal!

    I would go to the air one if you have the space! One less thing to go wrong on the cheap ass radiators that are made today !
  8. fjh
    Bro anything with pressure on it is suspect! piston cooler valve oil pressure sensor base pressure sensor any wires on the pass thru to the injectors Bla Bla Bla! If the crank case spinner is getting slugged up the instance of wicking is higher thru any of these! You may want to address the spinner while attacking this this job as well ! Just sayin!

    Yup good job ! Posting the fix is always helpful For everyone!

    SPN 636, Camshaft Position Sensor, FMI 2 Data erratic intermittent or incorrect SPN 636, Camshaft Position Sensor, FMI 3 Voltage above normal, or shorted to high source These two codes are suspect to your situation!
  11. fjh
    Is it throwing up codes on the dash?
  12. fjh
    Possibly Is it a newer one?

    sounds like a single axle ! is it a slim line or sleeper cab ? the other issues with these was the clutch cable mount the cable was mounted to the floor originally and broke the rivets loose from the body over time! There was a reinforcement bracket developed to repair this in later years!

    Kind of an outside of the box thought Joe but a good one the tire balancers of today are quite accurate !If The thing will chuck up to it!
  15. fjh
    I also didn't read back thru the whole thing how ever your compressor could be suspect if you havent checked it yet! We just had a customer with a coolant push problem on a 3406E the compressor was over heating warped the head ! I thought back to a Mack issue their was a TSB years back for compressor elbow being obstructed by casting sand! The Cat The (Coolant line ) had collapsed and it over heated it ! You might check this as well! Just sayin

    We sold lots of v8 here We are in hill country here V8 would pull these without question ! The V8 loves logging ! The V8 how ever didn't like long haul ! Try and drag the full 500 HP for hours at a time on miles of steep country with out a breather ,They would drop valve seats break head bolts Crack liners Bla Bla Bla! I They had their issues But the power and fuel economy was tough to beat! I to Think Highly of the the E6 /E7 ! But soon these ALL will be dinosaurs Be cause Volvo is starving the parts market to force there agenda on the masses!

    Bro any kind of damage on a damper you risk the chance of a broken crank at some point! If itis a play truck not a big deal ! If its a daily worker not worth the risk! Change it out!

    The trim / cal code is just a finer adjustment for the puter to use as a starting point was how it was explained to me ! Not totally necessary but not a bad idea to get it done! Good find RED Check the Guide pins while your rollers are up bud ! Also Bro some Advice ! Replace All the EUP bolts these tend to work loose and break occasionally!
  19. fjh
    I believe the deed was done before the Volvo turds took over ! they didn't step in till 2003!
  20. fjh
    I would run thru a valve set and see if you find any loose valves you may have a cam failure underway !
  21. fjh
    Yup they missed the boat on that one! Our branch sold the bulk of thous trucks ! We had the opportunity to repower 3 or 4 with E9 in later years .The only draw back to this was the lack of engine braking! the repower paid for it self in a year or so, in fuel savings over the Buzzin dozen ! Allision wouldn't warranty the trans because of the torque of the E9! so we ended up converting to 12 speed manual trans ! Irony of this is I've heard the fat trucks are making a bit comeback of sorts these days! what is old ,is new again!

    Depending on the brand of starter that was installed My guess is the starter is faulty These starters go thru phazes where you get a bad batch of them ! Tri get the Delco branded stuff when replacing if they off this in Oz!

    Barry I have a suggestion ! There from time to time are posts that get questions asked that have been answered several times ! The latest being idle set with switches! On gray engines ! this question has been asked more than a few times on the forums! I wonder if it would be helpful to make a new category TIPS AND REPAIR TRICKS  so guys can post the most common fixes for most commonly asked questions!  quite hounestly the seach feature is not that great at picking up on what your searching for!

     

    just a thought!

    Rev the engine with the foot pedal or cruise control to the desired set ie: 650 depress the clutch pedal ! I believe that will lock it in! https://f01.justanswer.com/diesel3153/b783e0a3-7099-4672-8fa2-def5c4dff508_Mack_engine_speed_control.pdf That there was posted by Mack pro awhile back!

    Yup ! how ever this little issue mentioned here causes a lot of grief for the dealers as well, dam nescience phone calls asking what's this code? is it important ? Bla bla , ! There is no problem making money for the dealers with New equipment of any sort! Mother Volvo IS all about the money and I guess they should be, got to impress the share holders! SELL THEM PARTS BOYS!
