I got a broken front spring.Does anyone have the part number?its the 3 spring pack on my 04 granite.Threaded pin on the hanger and straight pin up front with 3.5 inch wide spring.My local mack dealership does not have it in stock and they won't help with the part number.Thanks Red. Ps:they look similar if not the same to the one my old rd688 had.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong , but Allisons are kinda limited on torque and hp options I believe. -
Also replaced the Switzer s400, for a remanufactured borg warner.they told me that my Switzer was not repairable, I think they just didn't stock the parts for that old turbo.turbine shaft had no play , just a bad oil seal.
-
They were stock.m&d only carries oem specs.
-
Not to get technical, but every tire manufacturer has I believe a chart on the tire pressure depending on the weight it is carrying, I run mine at 115# because I gross out at 72000#s.

I thank you all for the clarification.on a side note , I spoke to Mike at k&s and he doesn't have any cores to build injectors, therefore anyone wanting the 427/460 injectors will have to send those in and wait for him to build them to your specs..I opted to buy them from m&d distributors , they were brand new from Bosch ,no core needed 116$ each and a seal kit for like 3.50$ that includes both o rings and metal seal washer.

Lol..I did this once to take the cap off the pitman arm on my the steering box .thanks to the magic of Amazon prime , a 9/16 Allen wrench socket will arrive tomorrow at my door.
-
Thanks for this tip...can you tell me the allen wrench size of the injector hold down plug.thanks again Red
-
Yea , when I did the manifold, I used the crows foot to take them to 30lbft .
-
I'm replacing the injectors, I guess I misunderstood the manual.😅
-
I'm in the process of installing the 419m3 (427/460) injectors in my ami370.i was wondering if loctite 620 on the injector was still relevant or if another product was being used nowadays.thanks Red

I would like to add this set up to my granite.Is the base of the airbag where the u bolts are a custom piece or is it sold by a the manufacturer mentioned above?

So the Mack transmission is out and a rebuilt 8 low low is going to replace it..I know this topic has beaten to death in this site so I won't get into it.yet I have a couple questions. Was told that these t3xx trans use the same pto as the eaton , not like the old t20xx trans that used different pto.IS THIS TRUE? Also is the programming at mack for the eaton trans necessary to run? Or is it just for the speedo calibration? Please advice. RED

Fuel getting in the oil on Mack vision
R.E.D replied to Bigcountry98's topic in Engine and Transmission
On my etech ,it was the injector oring that was bad.it would put fuel past the injector hold down cap threads and contaminate oil...you can tell by running engine shortly without valve covers .the culprit injector cap will have less oil sitting on it since the fuel washes it away. -
New coolant , and I used the little gauge thingy to measure the concentration of antifreeze to water. And by the looks of it, thermostats were the stock original ones
-
Yup...that ring was sitting on the pitted lip of the housing..after adding the permatex it sealed nicely ...I filled it back up with coolant..on second thought I should have waited until the permatex cured in order to add the coolant.
-
I have attached a picture of the thermostat and the arrow is pointing at the metal spacer I was referring on the earlier post
-
If it does cure , it will give me time to procure a new thermostat housing .
-
Yes sir..new seals are in ..I figured it out , it seems like the thermostat housing is pitted from cavitation and it would not seal...I know silicone is not to be used ,but I put just a dab to fill up the pits in the thermostat housing and it seems to be holding pressure. I will let it cure overnight and I will update in the morning.
-
I'm installing the dual thermostats on the granite .I got Pai thermostats .they seem to have like metal spacer that goes between the thermostat housing and the thermostat? Does this sound right?does it go on the thermostat housing?rubber seal looks thinner than the stock one, but it could the old one is thicker because of age.i installed with said spacer and it pours the coolant out . pleased advice. Also if that spacer is not used the seal is lower than the deck.with the spacer, seal is above of the deck. Red

It does not matter.

I have since rigged a switch to the dash to turn fan off and on ..I have checked the a/c pressure switch by unplugging and checking voltage and continuity...also my truck is not equipped with a torque limit switch so that rules out that..I check eecu j1 pin 9 and no voltage...not sure if it is supposed to be ground..?? I will have some more time this weekend to troubleshoot ..if all else fails I will be installing a fan 195 degree temp switch to activate the fan..it will go through the a/c high pressure switch as well. Ps: I don't have a 4-2 code.just wanted to show fan circuit.
