Any of you know Mack mechanic shop around Raleigh NC ?Local dealer I went is not good .Thanks for your help.

2005 should be a CV 713

Yes it is

Dealer I bought it from did not know, they just made up the letters . LOL . It is CV713 for sure , engine is AI 375 because has RD 4500 Alisson Tranny

If it has the 2 speed air fan it does stay on but not at full speed until signaled to engage. This design saves the fan clutch from burning out quickly. Did the dealer turn up the idle speed?

Dealer did not turned up the idle since there was no code, I am thinking that they should able to tell me the fan is normal for the model, after all they had all the info and vin # etc . Instead they change the solenoid with new one .my old one was working just the way new one did ????? It is all about taking advantage from the owner of the truck.

Today I went to Mack dealer,

They hooked up to computer,no codes still running rough,change the solenoid for fan, did not stop the fan after $ 396.00 they told me it may have some air in the fuel system ,drive it few days and see what it does? Also they told me that my fan, designed to run all the time no free spool!!! why they did not tell me that before changing my solenoid?

Does anybody have 375AI engine in granite to see if the fan stays all the time? Thanks

That is a new one. Could be a coincidence though. Which fan does it have air or electronic viscous?

Air,checked solenoid it works fan hub moves in and out but it will not disengage. I will check the AC switch today???

Did they do any programming or software updates?

No just oil ,filter change, grease

Sounds like the idle was turned down by the cruise control switches inadvertently. The dealer can set the idle and then go into customer parameters and turn off the adjust low idle with crusie switches. I see this alot.

forget the point out that, Fan stays on all the time and there is no switch on the dash to over ride????

HEY friends,

I took in my truck to Mack dealer for PM, before the PM it was Idling fine after PM It is Idling really rough and not more than 500RPM.

under load it runs fine. Before I left the dealer I didn't realize the problem. Any help? Thanks

Also fan stays on all the time,no fan switch on the dash?????

I am not an expert but I have friend has new granite .he was working on his radio and he had plastic cover top of the dashboard open.He told me all fuses are there.

I hope it is some help.

As soon as I figure out how to post pictures .I will add them. Any help how to do it?

Hey you all ,

I made it home safely,after close inspection (as above mentioned by you all) I am not satisfied, brakes are all needs real attention, AC belt needs to be change .I will do both.

Total grease job and fluid, filter change in order. other than that I am happy sailor.

I DO HAVE ONE QUESTION, there is a regular gate valve (like you will have in your house plumbing) above the rear valve cover looks like part of heat system.. ANY IDEA what this is or just first owner installed it for some reason?

Thanks

Hey friends,

I just picked up my truck 2005 granite dump from Oak City ,WI and I am on my way back to NC.

Everything checked out good ,it drives very good (with out any load)will see ,ones I load.

There is a Indication lite come on the dash, inside of the info center, it looks like a Lightining bolt or look like Z any Idea what it is?

Should I be worry? Thanks again.

Thank you All

Right about now my cousin would say "It's only money".

Have a good trip. Keep us posted.

Hey J Hancock

this is my first mack,I am going to drive home about 1000 miles or so ,is there anything( other than oil, coolant and brakes) I should check it out before the trip.

Hey Friends

What is the use for the front bumper guard.

Does it have a special purpose or just for the looks, I don't like the way it looks, thinking to take it off.

Unless it helps for air flow for the radiator. Thanks for your help

You could only get a MP-7 (non-DPF) in a CTP, no MP-8 for that model. The CXP and CTP were only in 07 i think. You could get the 7 or the 8 in a GU. I dont know about the frame differences if any.

I just bought 2005 CTP 713 has AI370 engine in it !!!!!

I just bought an 05 granite with a pony axle, 460 hp, 18 spd, with 200,000 miles and I paid 85,000. I probably paid a little too much because I wanted an 18 sp. there was one in Charlotte on truck paper that I think was an automatic. Also I believe the Mack dealer in charleston, sc had a couple automatics come in on trade. Look up truck trader and you will get a feel for value. I looked for awhile and I think with the mileage you stated you would be 65,000-75,000. Although the I hear the automatic is the preferred trans and costs more

Thank you Mackncheese.

I have been looking for the last 6weeks, I made my mind and today bought 2005 Granite Quad axle with Allison RDS4500 Paid $70000.00.Down from$76000.00 Flying to Wisconsin (after Christmas) to get it.

Hey folks,

I am in the market to buy Granite dump truck 2003 or 2005 Allison auto 400-500000 miles.Any idea what is the fair market value for this set up.Truck Paper shows over $ 75000.00

I have Peterbilt and they are OK.but I want to try Mack.Thanks for the help.
