    yup
  2. fjh
    dont over do it!
  3. fjh
    should at least start with 50 psi as log as you crack at least two lines at the head and bleed as described!
  4. fjh
    There is a fuel galley plug just above where the blow by can bolts it can be accessed by removing the lid! 3 inch 1/4 pipe close nipple and an elbow! to screw a gauge into!
  5. fjh
    Nope good quality 3/4 wrench! back em out one turn give em a tug start pumping till fuel dribles snug em then crank! Should fire on thous two cyls till it gets good fuel pressure if its there!

    What you need to do is check that you are achieving the min 60 psi to get it to even fire! does the primer pump get hard when you pump it? Crack number one fuel line pump the primer till most of the visible air is gone crack the number 1 and six fuel lines at the head one fuel turn and pull on the lines pump the primer till you get fuel slobbering from the lines and snug them! and try to start with someone pumping on the primer! by this point the primer should feel hard If not I would suspect that drain back valve your thinking abought or the fuel pump onyx"s pic there!

    So go to the primary fuel filter at the front of the cab remove the line coming from the tank blow it thru make sure its clear ! Remove the elbow the line was connected to and check for debris ! If its clear !check all the lines heading forward I have see stuff clogging the cooling plate as well from deteriorating lines !The fuel transfer pump could be failing is your oil level higher than Normal??? if so change the pump and do an oil change! just some stuff to look for! Just as an after thought make sure the tank vent is clear to ! The simplest of things can cause so many headaches!

    Another cheap look at is the tank vent filter make sure its not plugged! And Vmac made the right call here check the cheap and easy stuff first ! Its very easy to make a bad call/ jump to conclusion when you see things happen three or four times in a row in short succession! another semi common issue with these is the fuel filter pedestal and the dollarstore hand primer supplied with the engine! just saying!

    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!
  11. fjh
    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!
  12. fjh
    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
  13. fjh
    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
  14. fjh
    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!
  15. fjh
    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 !
  16. 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!
  17. fjh
    Yup good job ! Posting the fix is always helpful For everyone!
  18. fjh
    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!
  19. fjh
    Is it throwing up codes on the dash?
  20. fjh
    Possibly Is it a newer one?
  21. fjh
    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!
  22. fjh
    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!
  23. 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!
  25. fjh
    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!
