I had a customer that had put new injectors in a epa 10 mp7, but somehow put epa 10 mp8 injectors in it. It came to me because it ran HORRIBLE! In my case the mp7 did not like mp8 injectors in it at all! I had no knowledge that they had even put new injectors in it. Chased that one for a couple days before I discovered the problem. So... They might not have been mp8 injectors, but they definitely could've been the wrong mp7 ones lol!

Agreed! That 600 is the delete kit, and the updated rail pressure sensor and rear injector harness. If the sensor and harness have already been updated, then probably way less than 600.

Yup, that's the difference between big city dealer vs mom and pop in Kentucky! 😂 At least they won't have you down for 2 weeks like some shops around here.
-
I guess it depends on his location. I assume big city dealerships are way more expensive than small city mom and pop shops.
-
Yeah I do a lot of these deletes. I'm not sure what the parts cost, but it's a really easy fix other than updating the software for the accessory kit. 3k sounds high! Edited to add... I had to check to see what we charge for the delete. About $1000. Dang maybe we are too cheap! Parts are less than 600 bucks, and the job only takes a couple hrs max.

A little late to the party but I was going to say it was the water pump. I've seen 2 so far that turned the coolant purple/black due to the fins rubbing. Surprisingly neither were leaking though. Glad you found the problem!
-
I ran across one like that, hollowed out, but not deleted.... Go figure lol
-
Same here. We have customers that run 80 90 without issues in them, but unless the customer requests otherwise, we fill all rebuilds with 50w synthetic.

Yours doesn't have a check engine light, just the lightning bolt and red shut down light. You can get the lightning bolt to blink any active codes for you by turning cruise off, then hold down (I think it's down?) the set/decel switch until the light starts blinking a 2 digit number... -
You probably won't have much luck locking the range cylinder in by hand. It takes a decent amount of pressure. But if your problem isn't with the cylinder/stuck piston, then you'll be removing the auxiliary section anyway. Assuming it isn't an air pressure problem.
-
The larger piston is your range cylinder, smaller is reduction. In high range the large piston will be pushed towards the front of the transmission, to the rear for low. Like Joey said, you can remove that whole range housing by removing the air lines, 5 bolts and 2 nuts on the pistons. The shift forks will stay in the transmission and won't go anywhere. They make a kit with gaskets and o rings to service the housing.
-
Was there any gunk/rust in that deep reduction cylinder? I've seen many that are rusted up and not used often, then when they get used they stick and have your exact issue... I've built 100's of 8ll's. I could almost do one blindfolded lol. No joke
-
I think it was around 10k in Volvos pocket!
-
Just a final update. Almost a month later and no problems, so...... Aftermarket Dpf, was the culprit. For whatever reason, this truck did not like it and wanted the big $$ oem!
-
Probably coincidence. Couldn't tell you how many cam failures I've done and found an eup with the dangling spring. H ring/lifter failure had nothing to do with the eup coming apart imo.
