  1. You can get just a synchro kit or the complete back housing pre-assembled with synchro installed. The hub bolts to the main box best I remember and it’s the only thing on the main box( main housing) that you have to change on the main box. It’s been several years since I’ve done one however. I did once have the hub break loose from its mounting bolt tabs and cause quite a mess. Shockingly they were still driving it.

    Thank you Pro for the information. Do you happen to have the specifications for the range cone how much play it can have or a manual? Also dont know if this changes anything when truck is cold in the morning it changes to high range with out noises for about 10min 

    I’ll see if there is anymore info on this but the bulletin did not go into detail. 

  3. As FJH said range shift/synchro issues. There is a bulletin on removing the PTO /PTO cover and checking the range cone for excessive play. They make a repair kit but usually we get the Reman rear range housing that comes with everything together. I did a couple many years ago it wasn’t to bad with the correct tools. I think it can be done in the truck ( CH/CX style truck with floorboard access) . In a Volvo the trans has to be pulled because the top cover has to come off. 

  4. This is info from Tech Tool when looking at troubleshooting engine oil temps. So 208 degree coolant temp can equal 257 oil temp. Which seems a little high to me but Mack/Volvo says ok .

  5. I’ve been wondering this myself. I finally looked the specs up and with coolant temp between 167-203 degrees the oil temp should be between 194-243 degrees. However it has a note that higher coolant temperatures will of course translate to higher oil temps. The max oil temp fully loaded is 262 degrees. I assume above  262 degrees you will get fault codes/warnings . 

  6. As far as complete engines 2008 and 2009 . Theses are referred as 2007 emission year model engines. 2010 and up had different camshaft, injectors, turbo  and Programing. Even though the engines looked the same every emission year change could have different parts . There were more emission year changes after 2007 than I can remember.  In the Remack manual  are 4 different 08-09 MP’8s. With or without engine brake and some type of difference in the flywheel  housing
