  1. And what is the recommended oil pressure for this engine, low and high. And what should it be when loaded at 80k going down steep Hill?
  2. Where do you get the external kit? Did it help to the point that you felt like you had actual Jakes (like on a cat or cummins), or was it just slightly less likely that you would take out 42 cars on the way down a hill?
  3. Very funny. Right now, I am coming into California and there is a very steep grade. Having to 4th gear it and use the Johnny bar to keep from blowing up the engine. I'm afraid of jacknifing it, as there will be 10 million homeless bees. My oil pressure is up at 60 right now, still no help. Going to be in olympia WA in 2 days. I will go to tec Mack in Tacoma, unless anyone can recommend somewhere better or more affordable. Thanks
  4. Hi all. I have been reading and reading all over the forum and it is quite a vast wealth of information. My issue: 2002 Mack ch613 with an e7 460. When I use the engine brakes, it slows it down about as much as running over a few deer would. It is fine if I am going down less than 1% grade, but if I am coming down the rockies, forget it. I hope you aren't in front of me, because I am going to run you over. Not cool. Seems to work slightly better when my primary air is over 120,but not great. Until recently, I have not used this truck, and I have driven FLs, Petes, and kws with great Jakes. This one is useless. Next issue, for those who are still reading, is power. This engine has 901k miles on it. I get the fact that it's old and used, but what a dog. 0-60 time is measured in light years (unless I'm going downhill with the engine brakes on). Any suggestions to improve the power would be appreciated. Also, when running loaded and hard through Hills, I seem to need a very active oil well to keep this thing happy with all the oil it burns. Any help is appreciated. Thanks
  5. I have a 7-1 lightning bolt code on my 02 ch613. It's a real pain because I can't use my cruise control. Does anyone know what the code actually means and if/how I can fix it. Thanks.
