Pictures are always good.   I'm sure someone could make a suggestion.

I just wanna know if the chassis is gonna venture down to Macungie   (I'm pretty  sure it's gonna run)

I actually burst out laughing at that one.  And just think, the (manshed) sticker probably has some meaning we're not aware of.

Mark you referring to Charley at Dunmore Injection? I had a Mack pump adjusted out in Williamsport and a friend called out this spring and they are gone. Enzo used to do Cummins but I can't remember if he screwed around with Mack pumps He was at the Kingston Franconi shop quite a few years ago. Cooky's sold the Mack dealer up in Scranton and they don't sell Mack parts anymore !!! Back in the early 80's had a Mack pump rebuilt at a shop out in Hazleton.

Charley's gone.  Dick Laing up in Binghamton got absorbed by D & W .  I don't think the old Allentown Mack does it anymore.  The others ??? IDK. 

Yes.....  not his first .  We don't have a pump guy here anymore.  The go to guy in my area here passed away a little while back, and I don't think the Mack dealer in Allentown has the pump shop anymore.

They dont care Bob.

Smash this one, I'll just get another one from insurance company.

And taking their foot off the gas peddle is NOT an option.

No goats 🦌 were harmed in the making of the videos (lol)   I think Fred may have played us all a little here (in a good way)  Seems like this wasn't the first time he's had a governor  apart.   Great stuff no matter.  Like I said before, fewer and fewer people are capable of making such repairs.   Thanks for sharing and explaining.

Never know. Us guys in the dump trucks .....

California has mandatory helmets for minors on bicycles not sure, growing up as a kid I have never seen anybody get a head injury on a bicycle 

Yes Bob....they believe the head should be in pristine condition for when the hormone therapy or anti depressant meds come into the picture.  There's a brief overlap between a kid on a bike and the meds in that state.

I'm grasp'n at straws here (lol)   Just sometimes easy stuff gets overlooked .  I've seen trucks with the puff limiter disconnected do this. Maybe it's because of some other underlying issue in the governor, but it'll do it. Then once it starts, and you get bounced around  because of it, it amplifies it all.  These things are old, who knows what could be worn by now, and guys familiar with them to make a repair are becoming a scarcity .

Lever's not on backwards ?   Should be going to the spring part (break) at full throttle .

🤷‍♂️   might be the problem

Is the puff limiter by any chance disconnected ?

I know the throttle is actually sprung wide open and the large return spring returns it back to idle.  I know this because the big spring broke one day and awwwwaay I went!!!  Until I pulled the shut down.

What exactly are you referring to?  The little box on the side that has the linkage arm sticking out?

The throttle shaft where it comes out of the governor. There's a lever ( serrated to go on the shaft and often has a 1/4" pinch bolt )  it has a spring in it that is strong enough to move the throttle shaft, but when the shaft rotates it's full travel the lever " breaks " so you're not still twisting the shaft. It's made with a spring to buffer that point of full throttle and linkage travel.

Mark??  Dont the dealers spend a lot of time looking for any reason to void a warranty??       

I'm convinced they check to see about getting every drop of warranty they know is a slam dunk.  Then if your truck happens to get fixed yaaaay. Even a good technician that may very well know what's wrong, if they don't know how to get paid for it. Good luck.  F is correct, but meanwhile the truck sits, insured, licensed, missing revenue, but the dealer gets paid.  It's a F@$*ing joke.

I'd expect they'd find a crack in the hood..... due to driving it into the building.   This is getting more and more common. Don't know what's wrong or how to get warranty to cover it ?  Just hand the customer a bill, then say they don't have to put up with you treating them that way.  If the EGR cooler was bad ? I'd expect there very well could be coolant in the DPF.

Last I read wasn't the Scania something like 732 HP.

Have not heard a bad report ever about a Scania V8

And when I say ever I mean ever, they have a really good reputation

You want a million mile plus V8 motor that gives no trouble I think Scania would win hands down

You do know they're a cousin to the E9

Those Paccar (DAF) engines sure are quiet. Saw a guy on YouTube take one all the way down and I'm not too impressed with stuff like plastic oil pans among other things. 

The plastic oil pan isn't a bad idea. At least not here where I live.  FYI  that one and done plug in the bottom of it ??  that's the place to drain it.  If someone gets the bright idea to drain it out the threaded plug in the side of the plastic pan while it's hot..... DON'T    ( ask me how I know )   😂   MX isn't a bad engine and in some ways reminds me of maybe something like where a grey engine might have been by now.    The support on the MX is actually worse than the support on a grey engine now in my opinion.

You have very good ability to know what makes a good picture Vlad,  interesting things most of us guys would never see any other way than your pictures. Certainly would  be looking at those things if I were there .   Thanks
