With Paddock, we'll never know the truth. In fact, he might be a fictional character.
Starting to look like you are a prophet on this.....

Back In Black Pulling,
I have the same lines as you and I keep having a problem with the lines splitting right at the flair at the injection pump. Francis engineering tweaked my ambac pump and I have injectors done by them as well. I bent my lines the same as the OE Mack and ran them in the factory holders/clamps. Perhaps I'm just having just poor luck, have you removed your lines and re installed them at all? I cracked the third line in less than a year (less than 4K miles) on my way home from Gerharts
P.S. That was one heck of a launch at Gerharts this past weekend! Your truck is very impressive!
Is it strange to want to kiss an engine?

If I were in your shoes I'd take it down to the dealer (or inj pump shop) and let the oldest, ancient knowledge, guy in the shop give me a guaranteed proper timing set.
Ive done it a bunch of times and would still take mine in. Can't substitute proper flow-time tooling. Can't take chances on engine damage.

will the OTR performance boost leak tester work on a 2000 CL713 with E7-427 and do I need to 4 of 5in?? I don't recall the size and id like to order one.
I would not gamble on a guess. Take a measure, sure they have a fit.

Critically......Guy at work has one on his pick-up. I figured He ran out of stuff to buy.
As long as your fuel pressure never falls under spec your golden and horses are well fed. If you pop your cap on the Mack you can see aeration occurring as fuel sky drops into main column. If you run low fuel level in tank you might pull fine air bubbles.
i, personally, would spend the money on converting drivetrain to synthetic, good tune up, taking baby girl to Applebee's, etc.

Someone has to pay 💰 for the green movements fantasy ..... unfortunitely. If you want to beat the system bad enough you will. Still a lot of good tier 3 and older out there.

Yep. Wife won't buy anything but large American made steel SUV's for this reason. If we were driving anything smaller , the deer would have been in our lap. We were gonna trade it in next month as we're approaching 300,000 trouble free miles on the Tahoe. Uses no oil and has been perfect.
Ironically, I had a goat bum rush my compact from the side, middle of the day, wide open run toward my left. I saw him, he saw me, he jump so high I drove under the rear half of his body as we crossed.
Thought to myself " glad I didn't have the F150, it would have been in my passenger Seat.".

The XT programs are still in the Mack Mainframe for the VINs they were assigned to. So if you own a truck with the XT file in it , that came from the factory or was upgraded later and Mack knows it's supposed to be in your engine ECM , your still ok. If your ECM shorts out , you can get a new ECM programed to your original. Mack is just not gonna add the XT to anymore VINs. However , if you kept bringing in your 460XT truck with a bad ECM, the dealer can keep programming new ECMs with the XT file . Or you could have a bunch programmed ........ for spares .........if you know what I mean,
You never disappoint!!!
So if you got a vin number from a truck with 460XT, and your dealer used that vin number when entering your truck into his Dealership's customer base (service writing, etc) + access Mack database, and you had a work order written for "EECM failure to communicate, Replace & program EECM to original"...............you could have the program!
Doesn't seem immoral if the vin-donor truck was salvage in some junk yard. `
Could be the Pepsi talking........but I recollect the valve cover ID tag of the engines reading "E7-460XT"?

Manders Diesel. I've gone through the yard picking. They have 10 acres of Macks and constantly turn-over. They snatch up most of the Macks that hit our auction houses in the tri state.
You always need to test or examine when you get the part in your hand. They always, in our experience, take it back if your disappointed.

Clicked on that for curiosity. It leaves you wondering how twisted as the CIA was (is)?Bunch of madmen w/reckless abandon. Torturing each other till they committed suicide?

Dual draw dual return are a pain.
Replace or disable the 3 way fuel union. Draw and return fuel from only one tank. Run a 3/8" or bigger low level crossover line (equalizing) between the two tanks, typically supported by a steel member bolted between tanks. Install emergency shut-offs at both low level fittings in case road debris rips it off.
Good luck!

If you chase the compressor head you may want to pull it off, have it crack checked (magnafluxed, etc) at your local motor service shop and install with a new gasket. Great time to install an unloader reseal kit in head also.

Something is shaking loose, your going into shutdown. Low coolant, high coolant temp, low oil pressure, etc. Could be a real time issue, could be sensor (or support system) failure.
Do you know how to blink code manually or have plug and play equip?

Looks like the apple only bounced once when it fell off the tree.......
Paddock's father, Benjamin Hoskins Paddock, was a bank robber who was placed on the FBI's most-wanted list in 1969 after he escaped from federal prison; he was taken off the list in 1977.[50][51] The FBI wanted poster cited the perpetrator's father as being "diagnosed as psychopathic" and having "reportedly suicidal tendencies".[39] According to Paddock's brother, they never met his father and rejected the idea that the shooting was a way to emulate his father's criminal tendencies.[49]
The pic on the right looks like he would be a lot of fun at parties w/his nutty beard cleft.

I think Mackpro lays it (injector matching) out on page three of the thread.

I was taught to think of engines like batteries..... power low, burns slow.
I watch Mackpro's threads about MP series cup and injector, waiting for my day to come, but yet our Volvo D13 has been running 24/7 for 2 years straight and no such issues. Same engine platform as MP8. Only difference is ours is derated (334 horsepower/1,000 Ftlbs of torque) instead of pumping 505HP and 1,860 Ftlbs torque.

My truck is sinking in the mud....Do I
A. let the dozer push me out
B. Hammer it to the floor.
If you answered "A" do the upgrade
If you answered "B" go work for someone who owns a 460XT

Liberals generally protect themselves from criticism by making it perfectly clear, upfront, that their moral compass has been smashed with a hammer.
Example- "I was born a boy and now I'm a girl who dates boys and has a polygamous relationship with my pets, all because the 1% is too successful (liberals cheering)".
Keeping that in mind....a man molesting a woman becomes refreshingly normal, even boring, for them.
