I guess it was the first ETECH's , later thay came out with a download and we were told to remove the resistor.

This condition will generally be noticed when the engine is idling with the coolant temperature in the normal operating range, and little or no cooling air flow across the charge air cooler. It may also be noticed when a loaded vehicle accelerates after a momentary stop (such as stopping for a traffic signal, toll booth, etc.). To eliminate this condition, an engine ECU service data file has been developed by Mack Trucks, Inc. To receive the appropriate data file, a request must be made to the District Service Manager serving your location. Other means of correcting this misfire condition, such as installing a resistor, must not be used. Additionally, any trucks which have had a resistor installed, must have the resistor removed, and the engine ECU must be reprogrammed with the proper service data file. To summarize, the following procedures must be used to correct an engine misfire as described above: Contact your DSM and request to have the engine ECU data file activated. Use MackNet to download the engine ECU service data file from the MACK Mainframe. Program the engine ECU with the new service data file. Upload the verification file to the MACK Mainframe. Remove the resistor if one had been previously installed.
