  1. The 4-5 blink code is pretty a common problem, there are several things that will cause it both electrical or mechanical. Finding the failure mode identifier is the first thing I would do, you will need to use Mack diagnostic software to determine the FMI.

  2. The fuses are located under the triangle shaped panel in the center of the dash on top, a fuse location diagram is in the plastic bag stuck under the panel. If the diagram is missing you are looking for a 15 amp fuse in location F9. Engine overheating wont cause electrical problems just a coincidence

  3. Before you pull it out, check the bolt at the yoke if its loose replace it and see what it does. Its also possible the bolt in the range fork has come loose that will also cause problems. Has the range shift been grinding or disengaging recently?

  4. The best way to check your compressor is to remove the inlet and discharge hoses from the compressor head and feel the air. If still no air pumping from the outlet check that the fitting isn't plugged with carbon, if the fitting is clear feel the inlet if no air is moving there the drive coupler has failed. If it feels like more air is being pushed out of the inlet than being drawn in the unloader in the head is stuck open.

  5. There's not any info around about engine load calculation, all that has been mentioned previously is correct. Also add boost pressure, turbo wheel speed, and turbo nozzle position. The readings you stated sound right, if no power or missfire problems dont be concerned these engines constantly learn and adjust themselves to maintain proper performance.

  6. I was thinking he was looking at the CCV outlet tube but didn't want to assume. Smoke there is not good, indicates a cylinder problem. I have repaired 2 low mileage MP-7 engines this year with cylinder failures due to faulty piston cooling pressure sensors. No smoke at the tube but steam from coolant in the oil from cracked liners'
