  1. We  pull the engine here as it's easier and faster. Usually $12,000 to 15,000 at worst. Depends if metal in oil pump, bearings and oil cooler. There's a lot more to it than just the gears. There is a 5 year 500,000 mile warranty on this repair 

  2. Yep. If you got the great big Borg Warner cool logic fan clutch, they are junk and are no longer made.  They have a Behr fan clutch upgrade kit.  The Borg Warner fan clutch is huge, its about half the diameter of the fan blade. We have little issue with the Behr fan clutch. Also, you truck could have the Horton air fan clutch on it. We see alot of the air solinoids go out on those but they set a fault code.

    If I can share a good company story..... 3 weeks ago my Garage door failed. I called Chamberlain customer service and gave them all the info explained what it was doing. they walked me thru a few steps and told me of 3 possible issues and that they could have a tech come out or if I wanted to dive in I could do so and when the issue was found to call them back. being mr handy man I had found the issue in 5 mins. a plastic gear on the motor had failed. it was used to note the motor RPM. I Called them back spoke with them and told them what I had found. This gear was part of the motor assy so kind bulky but withing 5 mins they informed me they had the part dispatched in the warehouse and would be on the way that afternoon free of charge being that the garage door was less than 6 years old.

     

     

    That's good to know as I just bought a new Chamberlain garage door opener. I love their app on my phone . I'm 900 miles from home for a couple of weeks and can open and close from my phone and tell if it's open or closed or even how long it's been closed.

  4. We have had to weld a nut on the top of injectors befor and slide hammer them out when stuck in the cup. Mack has a really quick cup removal tool now, works great.  On the cam issue, it was a injector roller bad and ate up cam.  Thoses were 2010 Tyson MP8's and a few 2013's as well.

  5. A few weeks ago I had a AI engine that was pushing  coolant when hot. After trying several things I finally got truck hot and pulled the injectors real fast and then removed the radiator cap. I used a long rubber tipped blow gun and pressureized each cylinder till one started blowing bubbles in the surge tank. Pulled heads and checked head gaskets and liner height. Finally installed re-man Mack heads and all good

  6. You remove the turbo to after cooler pipe and install test plug on to after cooler, leave all other piping alone., hook up air pressure regulator and pump 30 psi into after cooler/ rest of engine. Spray soapy water on intake gaskets and around air compressor intake piping and back of engine. Due to intake and exhaust valves being open in engine it might not hit 30 psi but it will be good enough to find leaks

  7. You get any low fuel pressure codes? The engine ecm cooler plate seems to get clogged a lot on the older MP engines . Blow the lines out. Has the injector code come back? I had a MP 8 a few weeks ago throw a injector code and it was a bad camshaft . Missed like crazy though
