13 minutes ago, Truck Shop said:
Main shaft end play, rear main shaft support bearing or input shaft bearing allowing 3rd and 4th sliding clutch to move, does the shift lever move fore and aft
when throttling up or down while moving. Plus 3rd and 4th gear clutching teeth are probably worn right along with the sliding clutch teeth. 3rd and 7th are
used alot and first to go. Plus a worn broken main shaft key can cause issues too.
Are you referring to my issue or the other guy who hijacked the thread with a different topic?

all but one of the 8ll trans trucks i ever drove had this problem.
i think the 8ll is the absolute worst trans ever made.
10, 13, 15 and 18 speeds never had that issue.
I have one in my single axle and it’s a nice trans. Can’t be the worst trans ever made if it’s in thousands of trucks without major issues.

I have an eaton8ll in my 2007 Mack granite I recently purchased. Truck has 212,000 miles and 20,000 hours. Trans seems fine other than the 5th to 4th drop. Occasionally the trans misses 4th and seems to be in 8th. It’s driving me nuts when I’m downshifting loaded. Some have said the synchros are shot and have suggested just getting a rebuilt trans for 3800 and throwing it in the truck vs. re doing the synchros.
Could it be anything besides synchros?
How intense is the synchro replacement?
thanks
Eric

Yes sorry locking differential. Just not sure who sells them. I can get the gear ratio from mack I assume

Do they make lockers for these rears or do you need to swap the whole rear out?

So now onto bigger projects. Has anyone added power to a em7 275 H.P.? I would like to get a little more umph out of the old truck and the dealer doesn't have any real clear answers as to whether the truck can be turned up or not without paying them to dyno it and do scans etc... Just wanted to check with you guys before I went that route. Is there any way to get more power out of this truck without the dealer? I called these guys http://www.rochesterfuel.com/products/mack-performance/ the new injectors seem reasonable to get some more power out of it.

So I bought the quiet pipe from Iowa 80 that Dogg rescue recommended and now I'm getting an obnoxious whistle at full throttle. I have to take the exhaust apart again and figure it out but, other than that the truck sounds much better and is more enjoyable to drive. Thanks guys!

I straight piped my truck a few months ago and now I hear they passed a law banning it. I've been looking at internal baffles such as these. http://www.truckpipestore.com/mobile/5-x-60-internal-baffle-tube
Wondering if these quiet the truck at all? Has anyone used them before?
Thanks

Got a call from my driver and the electronic malfunction light came on and the speedo stopped working. He then hit a bump and it started working again and then stopped again. Any help on where to find the wires that may be causing the problem. Truck is a 2001 rd manual Trans. Thanks!

Wow some really nice trucks this year. The a&r excavating trucks belong to member reel addiction on here. Do you have any more pictures of the orange rd and granite with the silver stripes?

Anyone know what color was used on my truck for the interior paint? I have some trim pieces I'd like to sand and re paint.

I lied its says eaton on the diff cover
301507
Not sure if that's right or not it's really hard to read stamping isn't very good

I have the vin number.
1m2p288c31m032906
I can't find any info on the axle itself.
Thanks
-
Well it's a single axle so no dual axles to lock. Would like a rear lock though.

So is there any way to get a locking rear for this truck?
