Also has one other intermittent issue in reverse , sometimes while backing it will suddenly "jump" like theres a rock between the gears or something . 1st time having a Mack without a real Mack gearbox , sure does not seem as smooth or quiet as I've been used to. I suppose I should be planning on a rebuild of it . 2001 Vision with a 460, motor is fine just this gearbox had me on edge , not so wild on 3.70 rear gears , who spec's that in the last 2 decades for a road truck?????

That's what baffles me ! Clutch is great , could there be a air or electric solenoid/slave cylingder?

When in the big hole in 12th , the truck cruises fine , but if you let off the throttle , after about 5 seconds or so the engine rpm's drop then if you apply any throttle it starts picking up again almost like a centrifugal clutch , Happens with or without the jake on . No problems when in 13th. Any thoughts?

The metal ones on my 2001 Vision are MUCH more quiet than the composite ones on my 1996 CH!

My 1996 CH 613 was all Mack front to back with the gold dog , recently purchased 2001 100th anniversary has the gold dog , but the bogus trans & rears

Thanks ! Just got it all apart yesterday and grounds were sound and I played around with the plug in and all seemed well there and nothing corroded or burnt.

Have a manual fan switch? I don't know about 06's , but the CH's used to have the plug behind the panel if not so equipped from the factory and all you had to do was put the switch in and plug the socket in

Thanks for the replys ! I was thinking grounds , but want as much input before getting this thing home as working thru the punchout list !

Intermittent issue with a 2001 Vision with a 460/13 speed . Sometimes the dash works as it should , sometimes it will just shut down and show noting (although the VIP is still getting all the info and displaying properly) and other times it will be working ok, then the seat belt alarm light and bell goes off and at the same time all gauges swing back and forth. No sequence or regular timing , just like a moody lady ! Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated !

Don't some locations still have them working? LOL

I just got a 2001 613 Vision and upon starting up there is an annoying as all get out beeping and the display says it is a fault code for the ambient air temperature., and continues for about an hour after startup then goes away.

Any ideas on a fix or what causes it? at least a way to shut it off.

Also the display seems to not respond to any inputs on the push buttons.

I talked with a local decal/wrap guy today who says he thinks he can replicate these with the right software and 3M products for about $250

That just sucks ! Has Volvo totally disavowed anything per their ownership? At the least they should have a downloadable file for decal makers to be able to reproduce !

I just ought a 100th anniversary trauck (Black 80 inch sleeper) The original stripe along the sides is pretty sun baked and cracked. Any leads on replacement stripes?

I'm about to pick up a 2001 100th anniversary Vision and would love a set ! Not sure on size yet since I don't have it until Sunday!

I see many advertisements for Volvo , VERY VERY few for Mack and when they are , seldom ever see one with a sleeper unit on it.

Getting a honey truck around that much , it must be passing political messages !

Since the Volvo intervention long haul Maks are very scarce on dealer lots , drive by any and all you see are big sleeper Volvo's and a handful of token daycab Macks.
