  1. These trucks don't use fuses, they use circuit breakers. Overload them and they trip, then they reset themselves.
  2. What kind of truck are we talking about? I picked up a front cutoff with 3,900 hours and 14,000 miles. Was a NYC salt truck, had 3100 idle hours. They rotted the frame out in 800 hours of use....
  3. Whichever pays better and whichever gets you around your family more. You could always hire someone to drive the tipper.
  4. Look at Trump's kids. Now look at Biden's kids. Point made. There's one place politicians affect our every day lives, and that's our wallets. Things were better all around under Trump. On Abortion: a nation that murders it's infants has no future.
  5. No need to calibrate trim codes. My truck is running just fine without them. You can pull a wire off one EUP at a time while idling and see if the idle changes. Screw can't be removed, just loosen it a bit and the wire can be lifted off. You'll get a spark, no big deal. If one EUP doesn't affect the idle then that one is faulty or the wiring is faulty. But this test won't reveal broken springs. You've got to pull the EUP's and also their followers.
  6. I know this one first hand, lol. Managed to get our truck puffing on ether and as soon as we stopped cranking the EECU fired up and took over and kept it running.
  7. BMT would be a lonely place without your input.
  8. https://macktrucks.vg-emedia.com/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductId=6156 You can download the vmac III book for free from Mack or buy it from your dealer or online. Book # 8-211
  9. You made me second guess myself, had too look it up... 😎
  10. To check codes, key on, with cruise control OFF press/hold the set/decel rocker down until the lightning bolt goes off. Let go and count the 2 digit code it blinks out to you. Repeat until you get repeating codes. List codes here and someone can identify them for you if you don't have a copy of them.
  11. Also those injector lines run at 26,000psi. Yes, 26,000. DO NOT crack them loose while running, it will blow diesel fuel right into your skin and kill you.
  12. Your battery voltage sucks. If the voltage drops to 9.5 volts while cranking then the engine computer shuts off momentarily until voltage comes back up. You need good fresh batteries.
  13. Sounds like you need to do a Cummins swap! 🤠
  14. I'd pull the EUP's and also their respective can followers. I just had some major work done on my 2003 ai-350 with 28,000 hours. Had stumble/miss/low power. 3 bad EUPs, 2 had broken springs (1 spring was broken in 5 pieces....) truck also had 2 bad EUP Cam Followers and 1 bad injector nozzle. Cam followers, roller axle shifted on one, cocking the roller so it didn't ride smooth on camshaft. Other bad follower had a chip out of the top of the cup from broken EUP spring. I think the Cam Followers from Bosch through Metro Fuel Injection/M&D were around $150 each, and the reman EUP's were in the $500+ range after good cores returned. In hindsight I should have replaced all 6 followers and at least tried to replace the springs on the 3 EUPs I didn't replace, but we were very tight on money.
  15. He was 20 at time of death, he would have been a juvenile for the Antifa BLM "Summer of Love". Juvenile records would be sealed.
  16. Here's a Gindy "Mack" trailer. Nose of the trailer says Mack Transportation Co, Phila. I don't think this is the trailer you're looking for.
  17. We put a "reman" compressor in our 1979 endt676, pukes just as much oil as the old compressor did. Run it or rebuild it yourself. Don't put a "reman" compressor in. Not worth the money. Also, modern engines pull their compressor intake air from the boosted intake manifold. Builds air faster. On engine pistons there's a science behind combustion pressures wedging the piston rings against cylinder walls harder, creating better seal. Similar could apply to compressor rings as well, might get better seal/less oil puke if your compressor is getting boosted air.
  18. Im in the "do a visual inspection of the heads and reuse them" camp. You clearly had head gasket problems, plus a damaged pushrod. I'd roll with fixing those.
  19. This is 100% the truth. Stall until the threat is arrested. Now we have a dead father, a widowed mom, and a dead 20 year old. And am irrate Right.
  20. In the video I saw recently I don't think it's a double. Everyone is claiming he's suddenly much taller than Jill, but if you look at their feet Jill is standing several feet back. The camera angle has that effect. It's one of the tricks they used when they filmed The Lord of the Rings to make the hobbits look so much smaller.
  21. Supposedly he says Trump may have been hit by shrapnel, not a bullet. I'd like to know what they suspect the shrapnel might be from. Horseshit.
  22. Soon the news cycle is going to start saying that Kamala has been running the country behind the scenes bc of how far gone Biden is. All to bolster her supposed competence.
  23. Blown head gasket or EGR valve assembly issues? Could be pressurizing the tank and pushing coolant out the overflow tube.

    Duct tape? Would help to know what model/year you're working on...
  25. I'm going to miss this thread when Biden is out of office. 😭😭😭
