welcome to Big Mack Truck Forums. the "lightning bolt" is the trucks electrical malfunction light. it is telling you that there is an issue with the truck somewhere this is the procedure to get the codes: Mack Except Mid-liner: Accessing Diagnostic Trouble Codes V-MAC & V-MAC II Using Electronic Malfunction Lamp The V-MAC module can blink a two-digit blink code for each of the detectable active faults in the system. These codes are displayed by the instrument panel MIL. They allow for quick diagnosis without using a scan tool. If there is more than one active fault there is often one root cause. As a general rule, begin with active faults that involve sensors. To diagnose malfunctions with blink codes, proceed as follows: Turn ignition On, then wait until MIL’s two second power-up test has finished. There must be an active fault which keeps lamp on after power-up test. Turn speed control switch Off, then press and hold SET/DECEL or RESUME/ACCEL switch until MIL goes out. After approximately one second, the V-MAC module will begin blinking out its two-digit blink codes. The two digits of each code will be separated by a one second idle time (MIL out). Each blink code digit may consist of up to eight on–off flashes. The on and off time for each flash will be 1/4 of a second. Count the MIL on flashes to determine two digit blink code. Only one active fault will be blinked per request. There must be a separate request for each active fault if there are multiple active faults present. To display additional faults, hold in SET/DECEL or RESUME/ACCEL switch until MIL goes out. Blinking sequence will begin again after a one second delay. If fault blinking request is repeated while V-MAC is in process of blinking an active fault, that sequence will stop and next active fault will display. If an active fault is cleared while V-MAC is blinking that fault, procedure will not stop. MIL will return to normal functions after every complete blinking sequence and will remain on for active faults and off for inactive faults. If more than one fault is present, continue blink code sequence until first active fault is displayed again to ensure all faults have been accessed.

on my 05 granite the fan stayed on after it was sent for service. i tried new coolant sensors, fan switch, and nothing worked. sent it back to the guy that did the service and they could not find anything wrong. three months later later it started getting hot and i put the gauges on the ac. high side was 370lbs. let out a bit of refrigerant and fan worked fine for the next two years until we sold it. someone overcharged the AC while it was in for service. if high pressure is over 325 lbs i believe it is, the fan will stay on.

correct. my 05 427 did not have EGR or any other emissions crap on it.

yup. the ground in the plug is everything in the dash panel or nothing .

my 7 Litre well, that did not work. it seems photo forket is holding all my pictures and videos for ransom, they want $400 per year to release them. screw them, i will loose the pics and videos before i give them a penny.

i am in the process of restoring a 65 Falcon 2 Door Hardtop with 289 and 4 barrel, and next on the list is a 66 7 litre 4 speed convertible.

exactly. he is having way too much fun at their expense.

yes it is. power wagons were all four wheel drive. i like the all wheel drive bus.

if the media would knock off their bull sheit, maybe President Trump will stop picking on them. media is supposed to report the truth, not their opinion or made up stories.

tractor is a military HET M1070A1 made by Oshkosh corp. power was detroit 8V92T for the older ones, and Cat C18 for the newer versions. trans is an Allison automatic.

lets see if this works.

same here we use heavy steel bodies without liners.and it takes a very large piece of concrete to even put a small mark in the steel.

or malt liquor and drugs.

agreed. think of the biebeau and beauroc dump bodies from canada. the bibeau will dent very easy. the beauroc will not.

i made money in vegas once....................and i was told if they ever caught me near that photocopy machine again, i would spend the next 20 years behind bars. so i left and never went back.

that is pretty much how it goes on this side of the pond too Vlad.

single stick trans with bungee cord passenger door latch.

i ran a 05 granite triaxle with the 427 an 8ll trans for two years. great truck, and it would outrun the 05 kenworth T800 with 470HP C13 and 8ll trans. only issue with the granite was highway gears. it would do 90+ on the road, but was no good offroad. i would not go any newer than 05 if replacing. if you repower, you will love the way the truck runs with a 4 valve 350 or 400 with a 8ll trans.

yea, what he said!!! only next time more girl pictures and less tree pictures.

does it pop out of all gears, or just one?

o am a little surprised that you have that many American trucks over there. i knew our Crown Vics, Lincolns, and Grand Marquis cars were in big demand in Russia, but was not aware our trucks were too!

good eye!! i had to go back and look hard at each picture to see the Schneider cab over in the truck stop pic.

Vlad, the volvo in the first picture is wearing the colors of a Yellow/Roadway truck here in the states.

thanks for that JT, i thought they said it was the father. i used to deliver top soil to them off the jobs that was not going to be reused.

interesting to see the Holmdel Nursery trucks there, i was told they sold all of them after the owner died 3 years ago.
