  1. Posting for a friend of mine 

    He has a Etech 400 with stage 2 injectors and the S475 turbo. Thing is A beast. It gets a little hot on long pulls. So now his exhaust manifold has cracked. I’ve seen on here somewhere where a guy put a older style E7 manifold on because the ports where bigger. 

    Can anyone help and point me in the direction of that post. 

  2. Update on the truck. 

    I took it to my Mack shop it turned out to be the guy that rebuilt the motor put a junkyard jakebrake housing on the high side. So it had not had the update spring kit installed. So the high side was hung open slightly and that’s why the motor was doing what is was doing. Now it’s all fixed it runs like a top and pull’s like no other. 

     

    Just wanted to update everyone for the knowledge 

    also thanks for you guys and your advice and knowledge it’s what makes this place so helpful.

  3. Hello everyone,

    i have a question my 99 rd688s has walking beam suspension with Mack rears. My rear rear driver side spendle snapped off Friday. It’s been fixed before so the axle doc says I need a new housing. My question is it the same 44 k housing that the camel back uses or different. Both looks the same where the suspension bolts to the housing. 

    Thanks in advance 

  4. If installing the resistor is a little drastic I can order the sensor first they aren’t that expensive. 

    The problem was instant. The motor wasn’t rebuilt at Mack. And it took forever to get it back. It was rebuilt by the guy I bought the truck from his mechanic BIG mistake on my part. But mechanically the motor is fine. My Mack place says everything looks good. They seem to think it was a short causing the problem. Everything has been checked over and looks good. So leaves it to the CPU. I want to try everything I can at the house before I take it to Mack.

    But in the bulletin it states not to have the resistor in the wire if they put the program in the CPU

    ill see if I can find it again and post it on here. 

    Thanks for yalls help. 

  5. I’m not sure fjh I had the motor rebuilt recently and in the bulletin that Mack put out that some one had posted on here awhile back. It talked about if major components was changed that it might do this. The problem only arrived after the motor was rebuilt. 

    I can make it do it all day from 800 to 1100 rpms but long as i stay above that range it runs like a top. Every stop sign and stop light does it  and being it’s a quint axle dump truck with 23 tons it kills it  

    the resistors should be in tomorrow . Witch wire do I put it in or does it matter?

     

    thanks for you Guys help
