Ok sounds good..I'm looking through the camshaft bulletin posted on another thread and trying to figure out which is the Ac cam I need.my truck does not have an engine brake.
-
These parts from ATL are PAI brand?
-
Thanks Joey, I found it in my book..
-
Do asets have offset cam keys?I thought it was only etechs? But I'll make sure anyway.
-
I figured as much .just wanted a second opinion.i have seen you mentioned Atl before and since then I've been checking out their website...only thing I need is the part number of the ac cam ..will be getting rid of the ami exhaust bump..is has been talked about in the "dead dog remediation"post but I haven't seen a concrete answer on the subject yet as to what part number...my buddy has a 2004 sfa ch with a AC 427hp rating..been thinking of using his vin to find cam that way too . please advice. Why steel lifters over the ceramic?

No sir..fixed valve bridges.trans is t310m...I'll take a look this weekend concerning the h ring.funny thing is that it only takes almost one full turn of the adjustment screw to get back into the .024 lash..truck runs good and little by little the ticking gets more pronounced...I always torque to spec ,and never has the jam but been loose.
-
No engine brake...I haven't dropped the pan since I started this post ,and everything looked great.this motor does not have valve joke adjustment from what I saw ,just the valve lash...no Poppin sound just ticking..I will check the pushrod and shine a light down there to see if the h ring has come loose.Truck does not smoke at idle or under load..just smokes black when I get it on it and roll some coal..lol.
-
The ticking sound has returned...over the past few months I've isolated it to the exhaust valve on the number 4 cylinder..it constantly needs to be adjusted every two weeks and ticking goes away. Besides a bad roller on a lifter , what else causes a valve to loose it's valve lash adjustment?I'm currently running the truck and it seems fine just that one valve is acting up.im just ready to throw a cam from an Ac motor if this one is toast.

If you go to mack emedia you can download load the whole pdf file on this transmission.for free ..just type 10-122 , which is the part number for the publication and then click on view file.it will download the PDF.

T310M Stuck in reverse and blowing air into case
R.E.D replied to Mack Hammer's topic in Engine and Transmission
Blow gun all the junk from the top of transmission as to minimize dirt going in to the trans..the rear cover you need to remove has two dowels on left and right side.you will need to pry evenly on the cover because if one side gets brought up to high it will want to bind . -

Here you go bud.. picture says 1000 words..orings 4 and 6 or 10 and 12 should be your problem.

Something that is rarely mentioned is the superb job done by the codebreakers.they had the Japanese naval codes but did not have the coded name for midway.I think they sent out an uncoded transmission that midway was low on potable water.. the Japanese report it in code and they were able to know the coded name for midway..I believe this is called an inktest in spionage.. sending out a message and seeing from what source it pops up.

I would also recommend the series "secrets of war" narrated by Charles Heston.Great info.

Uss Texas just got in for some repairs.i unfortunately missed the last weekend to see it before it Left..it's one of the last of the dreadnoughts..what a magnificent piece of equipment
-
Congrats on your new to you bulldog..just wanted to add that if you have a Mack transmission, they are a little bit more difficult to remove since the triple counter shaft design makes them very top heavy, make sure you have a good transmission jack that allows you to strap it down real good. Last thing you want is to have that transmission sitting on your lap. On the other hand if you have an eaton transmission , they are much simpler to remove since they're flat and can be positioned better on the jack. Also if transmission is to be removed, might be a good time to replace the puck style motor mounts. Red

Not.. quite..lol...I wish I could retire at 30years old with a big property to store my dream mack collection...

Mine is also anti climatic, R.e.d are my initials,. My name is Roger .Cb handle is BigMack , tried to get a Texas license plate with that handle name ,but someone already had it..lol..they always referred to me over the Cb radio by bigmack because back then my truck was the biggest mack truck they had seen..they all had regular tandem trucks with 14 foot beds til I showed up with my blue BIGMACK truck with a quint axle set up and a 20 foot bed..

Unfortunately my generation (I just turned 30) has become too computerized, everything is solved by googling it. Can you guys believe that they are owners operators that work with me that don't know what setting the lash on the valves is? I asked him if he owned some feeler gauges and he looked at me like if I was asking him how to perform heart surgery. LOL. Red

Check this out and judge for yourself.

This is a tough job.. specially for the first time.As far as tools go, you will need a short anvil stubby one inch drive impact to torque the ubolts..it could be done manually with big ratchet and a 5 foot schedule 40 pipe for leverage...you have 38k pound suspension, the greasable one starts at 44k pounds and up...it can be converted but you would have to change trunnion and heavier duty springs...dont quote me on that last one.. someone will chime in a confirm...

This could be as easy as a bad seal ,or like mechohaulic said bearings could have some play and be off on the preload...if it's just the seal check the yoke for wear around the area where the seal rides..there are speedy sleeves if there is a groove on the yoke . Red

Yeah I know what you mean, but it was that or some chineseium piece of crap.. 😂😂😆

Just wanted to add that your ac system was manufactured by red dot.. probably better to go to them for parts than ..mack/Volvo..
