  1. Thanks for the CCRS schooling! Has any issues been noted when using a non-AI exhaust manifold without the 460-high heat center section on a motor with tune, injectors and turbo? And I caught something rereading the whole post this time, I've been having an intermittent low power issue where I get low boost, low power, then suddenly, like a switch is flipped, engine pitch changes, turbo spools and the missing power is back, like what was being described as pinched fuel line in the post, sounds like a software update may be needed

  2. 2004 granite AI300, getting ready to change the exhaust manifold gasket. I've read on here that the AI motors use a smaller more restrictive (maybe for more back pressure for the AI EGR dual bump cam?) manifold and that replacing it with a non-AI manifold reduces oil sooting and helps exhaust flow (bigger injectors coming!) does anyone know what part number I should buy for this?

  3. Ok getting somewhere, found a circuit tied into the cruise circuit, I think a remote throttle setup for the trucks previous duty, removed it and now we have power to both systems, cruise works correctly, but still no engine brake, switch is lit when it is on, but no brake, I can also now pull up a code 3-5 via cruise/lightening bolt, any ideas?

  4. I have operated Allison equipped refuse trucks that went to neutral automatically then the park was set, I was told that many one man trucks were being left in gear when the driver jumped out to sling, it was both a safety and economy issue, the safety issue is obvious, especially some of the very low geared ones(mid 5 to low 6 ratios) could pull through the park brakes if poor adj or worn bad, but I had to be shown on one of the newer granites that fuel consumption at dead idle increased several points in GPH in gear vs neutral. I'm not taking up for this fellow one bit, both of these are his mistake, just mentioning that some out there do exactly what he asked if I understood his question correctly

  5. ive purchased a 2004 granite, 300 hp, Allison tandem dump setup. Tonight after a short running period (5 minutes max) after I shut down the motor, the aluminum coolant reservoir began overflowing and I heard what sounded like water moving around in the block and some of the cooling system components. The oil filters were barely warm to the touch, and the temperature gauge had barely moved off the cold mark, yet the reservoir was emmiting what appeared to be steam and water, the cap was pressurized as well. Im not sure what is going on, nor do I understand where the level should be in this reservoir. I am familiar with the split tank system in the RDs but not this one.Do you keep the level at the sight glass at the lower part of the tank? Is there no overflow tank? or is mine missing?

  6. I recently purchased a 2004 Granite cab and chassis with 80xxx miles on it. When driving the truck home from Indiana to Louisiana, both the engine brake and cruise control stopped working. All the fuses look ok, and we have tried swapping breakers, to no avail. Has anyone had this issue before?
