  1. Message me your email and I can send you the bulletin and troubleshooting
  2. The new interior GR, AN and PI’s use a door control panel that is actually a ECM . You can actually flash out a fault code on the control panel . Quality was horrible on the first couple of years and I believe Mack changed supplier and quality improved. On one of our Anthem’s we changed the drivers side DCP 3 times . Lucky we have the extended chassis warranty on all our trucks.
  3. Hope someone in here has a answer from you . I myself am looking at a 1967 Chevy C50 my buddy has for sale. Going to use it to haul boat, camper or boat short distances.
  4. As Joey said screwing them out let’s the steering gear turn farther. There is one on top and one on the bottom. Depending on the location of the sector shaft determines which poppet screw does either right or left turn . If you back them out to far they will fly out due to the pressure. They have O-rings on the ends to keep them from leaking. Most newer boxes have AUTO casted on the housing and are auto setting poppets . If it’s a Sheppard box , all the manuals are on R H Sheppard website
  5. I wish other manufacturers would follow Eaton Fuller and have free access to all their manuals and bulletins. Sheppard steering gear is another good company with free manuals and a good technical hot line. TRW steering gear company also had manuals online however its been many years since I’ve checked to see if it’s still free. Bendix has a good website and Meritor/WABCO air drier did too last time I checked. .
  6. The wire usually falls back behind the batteries and is forgotten. Used to see this a lot at the dealership when batteries were replaced or tested
  7. The power wire to the ACM was left off the batteries . This powers the ACM , def pump and level sensor . It’s a smaller wire with a in line fuse
  8. Email sent . The fuel dye test is always the best option.
  9. On the common rail engines there is lots of planes under the have cover to leak . If no one has been into the injectors then probably not the injector lines . There is a service bulletin on this issue and have seen this first hand . It was only on the Common rail MP7’s. The is a plug left loose in the back of the head behind the cam gear. Message me your email and I can send you the bulletin
  10. If the red and yellow light both are on it’s usually low coolant issue. This can cause the engine to shutdown if set in the parameters. If it’s only the red shutdown light on then it’s low oil pressure or high coolant temp which can shut the engine down as well. The Etech RD series of trucks use a mixture of electronic and manual gauges. The oil pressure gauge is mechanical but has a sensor on the filter stand that feeds info to the engine ecm . So your gauge could read correctly but the engine ecm is only seeing what the sensor is telling it which could be 0 psi causing the engine to shutdown. Coolant temperature is the same way . The coolant temp sensor that sticks out the side of the water manifold is for the gauge only. The one that sticks out the back towards the firewall is for the engine ecm only. And just like the oil pressure, what your gauges tell you your ecm might be seeing something different.
  11. The LSR ( Left Side Re-design) started in early February of 2000. I thought I’d was only on the CCRS engines as well. But the early Etech’s had it to .
  12. https://macktrucks.vg-emedia.com/ProductListing.aspx?keyword=H-ring Here are the two bulletins on h-ring checking
  13. First problem was when activated the dash would beep once to let you know it engaged. The light showing it was engaged was on the switch. Drivers forget they engaged it and take off down the road and Kaboom. The software update made the buzzer stay on while it was engaged this help the problem. The second problem was getting it to disengage. I believe once the air was let off the spring pushed the plunger to unlock it . The spring is not that strong.
  14. I forgot to add . The Diff lock switch is electric and sends voltage to the solenoid pack back on the frame rail . This sends air to the diff lock actuators on the carriers
  15. Mack re-introduced the inter-wheel diff lock a few years back probably because they were loosing sales to Meritor. They lock in abs function great . It’s the unlocking is the issue. We have them on some of our CXU’s . Sometimes you have to drive in a figure 8 on a gravel parking lot to get them to unlock .
  16. It’s the newer Mack carriers.
  17. I’ve been hearing lots of complaints of the inter-wheel lock not unlocking after you hit the switch to unlock them . And of course the carrier explodes. All my dump truck buddies took the air lines off the carriers for the inter wheel locks. Mack has a recall/campaign for software update on the dash cluster to keep the alarm going when it’s locked in . The recall was for GU and GRs . PI0889 is the recall number. My old dealership had 7 at one time with exploded carriers. The actual actuator is air powered . There is a sending unit that screws into the housing that tells if it’s engaged. This is not to be confused with the regular power divider.
  18. Being a 93 I assume it’s a VMAC 1 electronic engine However in a rare chance It could be a mechanic fuel pump engine. On all VMAC 1,2 and 3 CH/CX the speedometers are all set the same on the dip switches on the back of the speedo head. The tire size, gear ratio, trans tone wheel teeth ( usually 16) and trans top gear ratio are all changeable using the appropriate Mack software or Tech Tool. That’s how you calibrate the speedo. The new replacement speedo heads are different on the dip switches. Have you replaced the speedo head lately?
  19. https://www.globaltransmissionsupply.com/eaton-fuller-transmission-fault-codes this works on the original Ultrashifts but not sure on the Ultrashift Plus . Most problems we saw were wiring harness/power supply , the XY shifter on top of the trans and clutch issues.
  20. If it starts but you have to crank on it 8-10 seconds every time then it could be either of the timing sensors. When one goes bad it runs off the the other one but it’s hard to start like it’s a fuel issue. Or someone adjusted the valves wrong. As in when the flywheel pointer was on 1/6 they adjusted cylinder 1 instead of cylinder 6. Seen that happen several times.
  21. Mdrive or Eaton Ultra shift plus?
  22. Using Tech Tool . This is the quick test we use to check EGR system.
  23. Buy some “Off” insect repellent with “Deet” . Spray on headlights and wipe off. Makes them like new. Our company won’t buy new headlight housings so we use Off. It must be Off with Deet though.
  24. Won’t start working till 150 degree coolant temp. Then it’s only by request by engine ECM
