    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..

    Got a mack 13 speed out of a 05 ch, truck is being converted to a eaton 8ll..the 13speed has the typical bad low range synchro.. besides that it works great..800$...Houston tx area

    I use m&d distributors... bought six new ,and don't have to turn in your core.

    I use these

    Assuming you have mack rears , it should be 28 spline ,1-1/2 " hole and 6inch spacing between clevis pin and center of s cam spline shaft.

    Like Fjh said , pay attention ..it could be the smallest detail...I had similar problem to yours on my 96 ch 427.. ended up being the primer pump..it would suck air and kill truck after running a while....if you push the primer pump and fuel comes out the primer button then it's defective..even if it's slightly wet.air is thinner than fuel, assume that if fuel gets by ,air will too.

    Looks good.

    Is this pointer factory or did someone add it?i use the flywheel method because it's dead on..check that the pointer coincides with the flywheel markings..also not trying to scare you but if you have damaged lifter rollers ,it would throw off you lash setting when engine is rotated....

    this has been discussed before in the post attached.your eot is normal.... usually the eot and ect delta is usually 15 to 30 degrees depending on engine.. therefore if your engine oil temp is 230 coolant temp should be 15 to 30 cooler than the oil. Red

    Damper? timing marks are at the flywheel.Clearance or lash is checked at the piston's compression stroke.if you're setting valves for 1 other valves will be in overlap .

    What engine?mack e7, mp8 mp7?need more details friend

    If it's metal ,it could be repaired by a good radiator shop.. plastic style in my opinion need replacement. Red

    I always use a gallon of Lucas...some people hate it ,some people love it.. usually no in between..lol.

    it's on an isx...but same principle applies.

    I second that... I think low threshold oil psi for that year is 15psi....so your good there . besides for the amount of run time you've given it in 6 years , that amount of blowby is no concern...but if you do plan to run it constant, wouldn't hurt to get a manometer test done to see how bad your engine wear is..clear hose with a u shape and some water in it connected to a crankcase pressure source with a pressure relief.. there's a good video on YouTube about this...I'll try to find it.

    When I swapped my t2090 to eaton, I got an aluminum bell housing..over time the steel rivets cast in the aluminum busted off because of torque I believe.being a dump truck and off-road all the time didn't help it none.Long story short ,it broke off the passenger side transmission mount and whole engine leaned to the side..it broke the econovance fitting and engine ran itself mostly out of oil until the low oil pressure shut her down...I guess what I'm trying to say is when converting to eaton , look for the steel bell housing.. Red

    First let me start out by saying that if you're coming from a cat or a Cummins, a 12 liter Mack engine will feel like a mut. Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think the XT program was offered an RD chassis.the s400 is stock yet there could be reasons why truck would be lagging. Dirty fuel filters, low fuel pressure to the injector unit pumps or could have fault codes hindering power.

    Yea I figured.. cutting corners..I bet they figured the aluminum last too long , therefore they made plastic which becomes brittle and brakes while removing.then they charge an arm and leg at the stealership for another plastic one.lol.only way they get us to stop rebuilding and repairing our older equipment is to make replacement parts with lower quality and prices higher than giraffe 🦒 p***y... excuse my French. Red
  23. R.E.D
    Yea it's some kind of plastic..has brass spacers molded at the four bolt holes as to not crush the cover by over torquing them...the fill hole plug is rubber and snaps in like the plug on a front axle wheel hub..they get brittle and brake while removing...I changed mine to aluminum about ten days ago wheel I had my rear end rebuilt.
  24. R.E.D
    Can't help with part number, but there are two kinds of covers plastic and aluminum.. plastic cover oring is thicker than aluminum.which one do you have?
  25. R.E.D
    CL had longer hood as well to accommodate these bigger engines. CL733 Cummins engine CL753 Cat 😸 engine CL743 Detroit engines...but these are rarer than a honest politician. Also .. different frame Red
