I chunked the factory alum. and plastic radiator for a all metal one in my Vision, and I have no overheating issues no matter how hot it is outside but I do not have a egr either
-
5.5-6.0 is what alot of the EGR motor's are getting my pre emmision 427 is avg 7.0 3.55 rears would be alright if you was going to be running 70mph or a bit faster all the time in flat country , the taller gears will turn the truck in to a gutless wonder that may struggle to get the mpg's you have now

Not Picking It Up On Monday
bts-4120 replied to cgallamore's topic in Modern Mack Truck General Discussion
now that is a rough truck I've been quoted a new cxn613 for a lot less than 110k it had mack rears too, 88K gets you a loaded up band new 389 Pete but I wouldn't drive one to a dog fight -
yes SISU from Finland AGCO has dumped Cummins for the SISU and CAT motors (agriculture application), it meets tier 4 emmisions here in the states these are not volvo motors 513ci they look like the discontinued 40 series Detroits fair motor, but had a older (2003) mechancial sisu eat a injector this summer down 3 days at the worst time possible
-
DEF is more abundant than you think, all the Farm Equipment Dealerships have it in stock right now , I would not look for truck stops to put in a pump for DEF the trucks are just not going to need that much, the Tractors are burning around 1-1.5 gal to 100gal of fuel, its going to take a while to burn through the 30gal tank on the truck I keep hearing IH push back the release date on there big block due to not being able to pass emmisions
-
urea is very corrosive and does not like alum or other metal, so a shiny alum. tank might work but is not the best option, however SISU using urea injection has made their motors tier 4 complient without the use of a EGR, have on AGCO with it works great so far more power and 20% fuel economy than the same tractor with the same motor with a EGR valve, would be nice if Mack or other on road engine manufacturers could follow suit and put EGR valves where they belong scrap pile
-
looks sharp my 01 has been very trouble free other than the plastic radiator, its hard to believe what a pile the 04's are
-
looks like perfect specs to me tall 24.5 I would want at least 4.17's should run 1518rpms at 65 and 1635rpms at 70mph pretty close to my fuller 13 and 3.70's on short rubber I sure would like the lower gears of the Mack 13 LR and 3.94's
-
That's doable the marine version of the E-tech was around 750hp would be nice to know what Mack put in the motor to get it
-
I e-mailed Bruce a while back about a box for a Mack, he said there was not enough interest for it to build one, although if he could finds several guienue pigs I mean test trucks he would build a box for the late model Macks
-
steinberg makes a power box for the 99 and up, and there is a diesel shop in northren IL that plays with the ecm's s about 150 extra hp
-
actually there is still 2/3 of stimulus still in the pipe line 09 better than 08 and 2010 will be better than 09 I hope they get the $1.00 per gal tax credit back on bio diesel I wish they would make it $2.00 15% ethanol blend is a go $40 Million spent in 09 for windmills in my state and need alot more of those and several major road projects are going full steam ahead
-
I've had trucks with the t-2090 and 4.17's its a fair set up more reduction would be better I would prefer the Mack 13, if you was going to go fuller 15spd would be great with those gears
-
[ I like the idea of stronger axles...but are they axles? Or are they V*lv* axles with a stamp on 'em? vulva I doubt it but would not be shocked if Meritor built them
-
I like the Mack rears with air power divider simple dependable and will get you out of most places you do not belong
-
I had alot of ECM issues with my N-14 when the check engine light came on it was game over engine dead no limp mode internally motor is fine injectors cheap not by along shot $500 a hole last I heard, never ever ever have another one the 01 427 is leaps and bounds better than the 460 n-14
-
good motor with an absolute p.o.s. ECM I did not get to enjoy all that up time that the cumapart guys brag about

1/4 frame is the most stable the most stable trailer in my opinion is a 34 tri axle 1/4 that will give you 8 tires on the ground compared to your 4 but they all will lay over even 28' full frame quads and a 1/4 frame will take the tractor with it just like a full frame, trust me its alot cheaper to fix a laid over frameless than a wrecked truck -
I've been down the N-14 road fair motor with a absolute junk ECM (pack a spare you will need it sooner than later) I would not trade my 01 427 for a dozen N-14's

American Loggers Bought 2 Titans
bts-4120 replied to usmcjimbo's topic in Modern Mack Truck General Discussion
it will have SCR the DEF will freeze it should be brutal cold in Northern Maine this year but you have 45 min from start up till you will need any DEF more than enough time for the heaters to thaw it out on a side note I thought their tri drive western star was a pretty cool set up -

I've seen one I am sure you can special order a 39' 1/4 frame truth be told 1/4 frame is more stable than a full frame I've had a couple 34' tri axle 1/4 frames but they are heavier than a full frame 34ft tri axle I think American trailer had the right idea on frameless end dumps the body unhinged from the front of the sub frame all wheels stayed on the ground no extra weight -
thats an old school trick to clean carbon off the injectors, yes a deisel motor will run on it, it will roll blue smoke like crazy till its burned up but it's not a trick I would use on a 04 and up truck

you can order on at the mack shop I paid $20 for mine service manual is what I should have bought not alot if info in the owners manual

trust me precision leveled rice ground is alot flatter then N. Ill. up there irrigation is a option down here its not no water no rice no water most bankers won't even talk about a crop loan dry land varies so much you could luck out and cut 130bu corn dry land but no rain and its 50bu. beans is the same, up keep on pivots is not as bad as you would think pretty trouble free, fuel cost is what drives up the bottom line, rice I have seen $100 a acrea just in irritagtion fuel
