    I’d check specs on fuel pressure, make sure it’s tuned and run it. There are still engines, like John Deere’s 13.5 liter that still run terrible cold.....in 2019.

    How hot did things get before you changed the stat?

    I've been tracking this...…… think he's trying to beat Elon to Mars, but he still needs his own "Area 51". If he applies for a no fly zone over the Maine Veteran's ranch construction project it's confirmed....Fuel, facility, military trained staff, on-site housing, etc.

    I see your 2001 schematics for sale on Mack E-Media for $54. Oddly, they are $22 for a 2000. Must be because of chassis mating. They group CL with CH on pre-2001 then the conversion occurs and chassis-groups CH with CX in 2001. 01’ is a 6 pc set.

    Go to your dealership at 8PM with a flat of white printer paper. Ask the night foreman/service writer to print off the wiring diagrams or allow you access to print them off. If your a customer they should oblige. If they do it, come back with a large flat of bakery. Tips and food make you an “A list” customer. Night shifters at a dealership are the most under appreciated creatures on earth.

    Frame pitch. Jack your front axle off the ground 5” and both tandem will have even geometry. Trust the suspension gauge to set height and never lean on visual interpretation.

    Our parts manager was discombobulated. He was standing there with a small bag of engine bolts in his hand and a suspension Z-spring on the floor. According to Volvo they had to be sitting on the shelf next to each other to be numerically synchronized.

    Volvo helped cured the issue by screwing up Mack’s parts system. Now they have to chassis search every part instead of operating on shelf-memory and the first two alpha’s.

    Make sure you get the correct pedestal gasket for the oil manifold base. I believe there are two variations that can be easily swapped after Mack did the left hand revision for the flipped centrimax and cluster plate cooler.

    Pull pan, pull oil pump, disassemble, Check oil relief plunger and seat for galling. If it’s galled too bad replace, otherwise clean it up. Check pump rotating group, of gears pass inspection install it. Mid pump looks good pull a rod and a main to check bearings.

    This is the diagram for your truck reverse circuit. Go to Fuse (FU42) 42 in the right upper corner and follow flow. Reverse Circuit.pdf
  17. Mack Technician
    You have the wrong diagram ordered. You should have posted for assistance first and then ordered your diagram instead of the reverse order.

    My vote is no-go on the bottom-up installation. You'll never know if your in perfect alignment. H ring.pdf

    Mobilith is just good'ol, common, everyday, grease.
  20. Mack Technician
    Unfortunate.... Must be common? Dad had Diabetes, COPD, congested heart, high blood pressure, O2 rocket pack and two restoration projects he was going to finish. Now I’m waiting for the price of scrap to go up so mom has some supper club cash.
  21. Mack Technician
    Go with a synthetic NLGI thickness of #2. Mobilith 460 in a NLGI #2 would be my pick.

    Did you find the grapevine Mack?
  24. Mack Technician
    Same here. Guy lost his fuel cap and had a leaky fuel cap to replace it (wrong, oversized, threads). He laid a bread bag over the opening and screwed the cap on over it to “seal it”. You can guess the rest. Ends up a bread bag becomes invisible when submerged in fuel.

    The injector yokes are beefy & cup basement is thick. Find a fed-up guy who has an old engine that burns a little oil and has chronic cup leakage. Drill yokes a size up and tap the cap screw one size up? Install a 12.9 bolt and lay into that prick just short of injector distortion. Worse case would be bore shoulder collapses dropping injector into the cylinder and it's reman time. Best case he never has another injector cup leak and Mack sends a hitman to kill you for all the injector sales you cost Volvo.
