  1. SPN 105 is the intake manifold temperature sensor, you didn't mention what year your truck is. The earlier engines used 2 sensors one for pressure the other for temperature, the sensor is capable of doing both so newer engines only had 1 sensor. Regardless the temperature sensor is located in the back of the intake manifold. If you have a older engine with 2 sensors switch them and see if the fault goes away.

  2. I can't help with the VIN, the pinning campaign was PI0785 and was issued in May 2102. You can check your trucks build date it's on the decal inside the drivers door jamb, you could also contact Mack to see if your truck was part of this campaign and whether it was already done. Another thing to look at is to see if a plug is installed in the top of the flywheel housing next to the crank sensor, the plug is put in after the pinning is done.

  3. Double idler gear failures are not uncommon. Starting in 2010 the oil temperature was raised to 238 degrees and the hotter oil was causing the retainers to loosen, originally the retainers were installed with Loctite and not staked in place. After a rash of failures staking the retainers was put into production can't remember exactly when. There was a campaign to "pin" the retainers for a while, haven't done it in years, You could ask your dealer about it and see if they would be willing to do it for you. It's possible the gear in your engine has a staked retainer already.

  4. The reason the engine changes it's "tune" during parked regeneration is the ECM changes the injection timing and rate to provide unburned fuel in the exhaust stream to help the regeneration process the EGR valve does not open during regeneration. What did you find awful about adjusting the exhaust valves, Volvo has used those shims for years and has just recently gone to screws on the MP-8 and D-13 engines.
