my MP8 505C  has been just as reliable as my old 2001 427,    just way more power and torque and better fuel mileage

have you replaced that teflon  fuel return line that runs from the head down to the primer pump I  believe.  That fails and you lose prime

2015 mp8 505c gets 39 pounds of boost and holds it

yup think that's kind of rare for the n14 the small cam engines would do that on a regular basis! they when to bigcam then big cam2 and the issue faded !  Didn't work on these much!

I don't know we had like 3 or 4 Big Cam 4s 838cpl do it   really turned me against a cummins N-14  pretty bullet proof except for the junk ecm that cummins used on all of the motors back then

Adelman's truck parts in Chicago  has  a couple of new quad turbo E9s for sale 1200hp they are french military surplus

my 01 427 has been rock solid   factory radiator if its still on there is junk  I've had it over 10yrs any issues have been minor and never left me stranded

chn will have a ac series motor never ran one but always heard by 06-07 they had the bugs worked out 04-05 total nightmare

i belive the allision is .60 and a mdrive is .78  in other words alot of diffrence  still little shocked about the higher ratios on a dump truck application

you can rest assured the epa and federal judge will not care who you have voted for when it comes to collecting  the fines

Which is why I like my Kubota tractors. They have an inner and outer element. You change the outer and the inner is there to catch anything that may fall in when you remove the outer.

But even on the big trucks, I am more careful than most dealers would be. When I remove my filters I shop vac the cans out and wipe out the intake elbows as far as I can reach.

 

Same with greasing. I wipe the fittings off BEFORE I grease. It irritates me when I see people just push the grease gun on and start pumping the dirt in with the grease.

all off road equipment has a inner and outer air filter,  I have had to blow the outer out every 6hours on combines and every day on tractors before,  why they haven't  put inner safety filters on on road trucks is beyond me

Investigating Americans without due cause by the liberal left is illegal too but no one seems to care so if I want to delete BS crap on my truck is my business, I would be willing to push it, but on the other had we just don't buy that junk.  

your just  in violation of the clean air act of 1972 no biggie ask spartan tuning  and h &s how it turn out

I've had good luck with my 2001 427  bought it with little over 500k on it they had already been in the motor already though

had one long ago e7-350 manual pump all mack  pulled like a freight train felt closer to 450hp than 350.  trouble free grossed 130k  it was a tank of a truck for a single rail

Adapt the John Deere 13.5 liter engine and paint it Gold.  I just calculated the hours of our oldest 13.5. It would have the equivalent of 1,370,000 highway miles on the original. They can top over 600HP. It burns a gallon every every 300 hours, but at 34,000 hours that ain’t too shabby.

sorry but  Deere tier 4 motors are absolute junk 8r 9r combines and pickers are the most expensive crap shoot you will ever sit in.  will we thrash to day or does it run 5min and shut down for no reason

did my 2001 vision he is correct  they are expensive pipes and getting harder to find through mack  next time it fails I'm just going to thurme manufactuirng they can make the exact pipe

Macks version of a 8ll but only to be used behind a maxidyne motor due to large gear spacing compared to 9spd mack  or fuller trans

haven't seen a sleeper mack truck with side pipes in years

Maybe rebuild to the E-7 marine spec engines, although is seem's very difficult to find info on them thesedays.

 

yep  you can't hear a word what the factory did to make little over a hp per cubic in with a etec

I believe the first couple of years the CX Vision was introduced you couldn’t even get Mack rears in them. But I do know that where I worked, we took lots of used CX Vision trade ins and pulled the sleepers off and beefed up the front springs, and slid Camelbacks under the rear end and put dump beds on them . I think we even had a local steel company bend us some frame rails so we could double frame them. I’d say we did at least 10 of them. We had a large local trucking company that would trade in 10-15 CX’s at a time and we had to do something with them. 

correct you could not get  a mack trans. or rears in a vision till 2004  all pre emmision visions was mutts from the factory

have you priced a reman motor from Mack  they used to have a good warranty package,   and it you would get a  good cam that way.   if you could chunk the egr system on that motor that would help reliability although  that vgt turbo causes about as many issues as the egr and there no way around it

I figured the 338 would be kilowats and not hp

no they made a EM6 225L   as a replacement  it did not have any  chasie or engine mounted aftercooler.  Don't think it was that common of a motor to spec  300 maxidyne  was more common by the late 80s

no  frame is lighter and 14.6k is the heaviest front axle I belive you can get on a pinnicale  but you can get heavy rears.  slap on a set of beefy front springs and you could make a heavy truck out of one though

did not know they  put a 12speed behind a maxidyne  motor

if he goes bigger injectors and twists the pump wouldn't he end up with a 350hp or so maxydine?
