  1. it's a brand new rebuild 9 months ago from the local mack dealer and has had really good power. yesterday it was blowing a litle blue/white smoke, so i think there is a bad injector. fuel was turned up last winter right after the rebuild and it started fine last winter. no cold weather formulation here yet and fuel is purchased at several vendors. didn't change anything since the rebuild and this just started to happen.
  2. rebuild was done by the local mack dealer. draft tube good. johnny didn't show up till after problem started. personally i have used ether for years on some motors, no adverse effects.
  3. hmm, question. why does the low voltage only show when it's cold. i mean, why does that allow it to start when it is warm, but not when it is cold? thanx
  4. Yup, hate them diesel spark plugs.....lol just some smoke at startup on the pop pressure, why would that make a difference if it was plugged in (warm) or not?
  5. Good point. Engine block heater. She cranks over easy and fires right up with a shot of either if not plugged in and she fires right off if plugged in. But if she is not plugged in, will not start without the ether thanx.
  6. this is for a friend of mine. he doesn't have internet, so i am asking for him. 2001 300 mack turned up to 350. complete engine overhaul last year injectors 3 months later new primer pump the truck under load at higher rpm's makes a bit of a surging noise will not start no matter the temp if not plugged in, but will fire right back up if just shut off only a short time. current temps are 70's days and nights 40-50 range. thanx
