R.E.D

Hello Mackanic, We need more details in order to help .Does it crank over at all?does the lighting bolt light up momentarily when key is turned to on position?are all the fuses good in the dash and the fire wall fuse boxes?

Agreed..all the things you say are true , yet I only stated the differences..and never said I loved it.i have swapped over to Eaton in the past for ease of use and maintenance and because drivers brake then trying to shift then like eatons.but in the truck I drive , I keep my t310m for it serves me best for my application.

That's due to the Mack being a triple countershaft design which makes it more robust and therefore a little stiffer to shift .Eaton only has two countershafts. Also mack trans have a bit more overdrive, giving it a bit more road speed compared to Eaton or lower rpm at desired speed .

Not to seem conspiratorial,but there has been pallets of bricks dropped off where most rioters congregate....not just one place I believe , they didn't look busted like if they fell off a truck instead they look placed in order to be used by the rioters.

The used ecm that I was able to get (since mack dealership didn't have one and had to order it , meaning at least a week of downtime ) came from an Ami 370 like mine..only difference is that it had an engine ...I have the ⚡ code for the engine brake since my truck didn't come equipped with one..therefore ina sense I'm working backwards to achieve this ... Macktechnician is right.some one who is currently knee deep in this would be able to give us the details Nitty-gritty details.

Hello fellas , can we start a tread for posterity for those wanting to retrofit their trucks with an engine brake..what are the best option and things needed in order to accomplish this task. I would like to start by posting this bulletin on the matter. Thanks RED PS: if the full bulletin is wanted it can be had free of charge from Mack emedia .just search for the bulletin number sb266017

No ..I bought an aftermarket tach that ran off the pulse from the alternator..it fit in place of the old one...the aftermarket tach has a adjustment knob in order to match it up to real engine rpm.

Mack engines do "fit " since the engine are same displacement ment...what makes them ai or ami is programming ,turbo and injectors...there several post describing the difference and similarities between hp ratings.. typically 50 hp difference engines have the same hardware components just different software programming.

If you do decide make the swap.try to get the steel (iron) bell housing.The aluminum one doesn't like the torque twist when off road and the pressed fittings come loose and since mack engines are only held by the front and transmission engine mounts the engine will fall on it side .. Had this happen on my 96 Rd and engine leaned towards passenger side braking the econovance fitting .it dumped most of the oil and shutoff.had to retap econovance housing on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere while it was 19 degrees outside .

Nice ...I had this on watch to buy...but nothing beats free.thanks Mack tech

This manual is on ebay for 50$ .... covers what your wanting to do.

Do you have the lighting bolt when you turn key to acc position?if not , computer might be fried.but no lighting bolt could also be a blown bulb on the dash .

I woulda thought the anthem somewhat light duty speced for log hauling , but if you have Mack axles inter wheel and inter Axle lock was an option I believe.

You're right.i have done this in the past and it makes much more sense, but I reckon I ain't quite ready to part with this one yet.Besides loosing the multiple speed reverse , which is awesome on jobsites i would also need to get a reprogramed in order not to get any codes.also like I mentioned before , this transmission looks like a recent Weller reman that besides the synchro issue has never skipped a beat. PS: also longer drive shaft since Eaton Fuller is shorter

I would be doing the work myself..mack just quoted me 758 $for the synchro....parts guy said it covered parts 7 to 19 on the diagram I attached.not sure if that's all I would need...and it's not even here in houston.would take 4to5 days to get.

The parts highlighted in yellow need to be replaced?does Pai have a whole assembly for sale?im trying my local mack dealership but I'm afraid all these parts would just add up to a reman unit.

Hey guys ..I'm about to start tearing into this trans.would like to Know which parts would need to be replaced on this kind of job , besides the clutch packs and sliding gear.please advice . RED

Ok I'll let him know.thanks guys.

Ok great.

Posting this for an old timer who works with me. He has an 04 vision that originally was an UPS truck with a single diff.it then got stretched and a Camelback suspension slapped under it with I believe 4.17 gears. He wants to get rid of the truck because how low on power it is.he claims it's 310 hp truck . I told him I would check with you guys and see what upgrades could be done to wake that bulldog up.since it was an over the road truck it's got an AC motor. Truck sounds real nice and don't burn oil and it would be a shame to let it go when it may have potential. Also told him he needed an overdrive transmission to get more top end since it's still got the direct transmission from when it was otr. He doesn't want hot rod , just something to wake the dog up.he drove 40 years over the road in 425 cat and 13 speed and wants something reliable he could earn some $ Please advice.

Nice find..😁👍

Had an issue like that once .ended up being loose u bolts in the front axle.

The washer allows the bracket to square up with the diff housing.no washer allows up and down movement which loosen or stresses those four bolts while truck is turning.
