If you do end up removing the eup, install new bolts and o rings ..the bolts tend to break.. specially if never been changed.As mentioned above , pull the eup roller and check the protrusion of the roller guide pin... attached is an image of the roller pin almost flush with the eup housing wall,it made the roller spin and trashed the cam .. this is my on my cousin's truck , it had a miss and blink code for the eup. Hopefully yours is not that bad. Just my two cents RED

While you have the plugs off, check for signs of coolant or oil seepage. The coolant or oil sensors go bad and allow the wiring lining to be used as a hose. The coolant especially will react with the electricity and create kind of a electrolysis and corrode your male connector pins. Had this happened to me once.

Well this happened to me once , I was working on the truck and removed the air cleaner canister.after putting it back, engine would stutter and stumble..ended up being the air canister cone mount that's supposed to seal against the hood and drag in cool air from outside..it must have moved in the process and truck was sucking in all the hot air from the engine bay..

Try to get the steel Bell housing not the aluminum one...the torque from the e9 will probably end up ripping the insert rivets and the mount will fail.Had this happened to me with an e7.

Yeah..it engages and disengages at will..Great design

I'm not sure that mack rear ends had "full lockers".they did have interwheel locking differentials which I believe uses cams just like the interaxle power divider.But I think they are pretty rare and parts would be hard to source..

Mine is governed at 70mph.. grossing 72k in a quint axle dump , I don't feel like I need to or want to go any faster.. Red

These engines have a scavenge bump of the camshaft lobe..which makes them intake some exhaust gas with the fresh pressurized air..it makes the oil very dirty and easily full of sludge.I find that every time my engine is getting close to the oil change, the egts also Begin to climb.

I have the same same gear ratio as you and same tire size.its great off road..but I have a mack trans with a bit more overdrive.
-
At 1800 rpm you will be at 69mph

UPDATE:A month ago I removed the rocker arm assembly from the back head.Replaced Rocker bolts with new ones and torqued to spec.. adjusted the valves on 4,5,6 and the ticking went away...I'm baffled..I wanted to run the truck for at least a month before I reported back to you guys..old rocker bolts were tight.Rocker arm base was seemed ok and not wearing into the head..the actual rocker arms had no play on the shaft.I did compress the spring on the #4 pushrod by hand and it also seemed ok.what you guys think?

Wouldn't hurt to check fuel pressure at the galley plug at the front of engine by Crank case filter.

Buddy at work always seemed to looked down on me because I was driving a 2004 granite...he felt high and mighty driving his 2016 t880 cummins ,Allison.He couldn't understand why I was so in love with my mack, when his , as he put it "could take off faster than a car" ...year later his out of business..trucks always down and waiting of backorder sensors and what not.. everything trip to the dealership was in the thousands of dollars.Whats the point of buying a 200k$ truck when a 60,000$ can do the same work ,cheaper ,more reliable albeit somewhat slower.Not sure what we will do when they dont let us run these old trucks.

That's also true.Yet what I think everyone is trying to convey is that they could've made a new comfortable truck that was also long lasting.I bet when the R model cabs came out in the 60s those guys riding B models were able to enjoy a nicer yet long lasting vehicle..R model cab was in production like 40 years , someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Well, that's what trucks are now, junk meant to be traded in after 500k miles or 5 years..they are not going to build a truck that last 20 years because they would go broke.that applies to everything nowadays..must be why freight shakers dominate market share..they went with cheap and easily braekable.

Incredible!Those guys at the dealership will try to sell you tire patches for train wheels..
