  1. ok,, I dont have enough knowledge on MRU concrete pumpers. I assume with an Allison transmission, with its own cooling system, and cooler.. Is it possible that there is a leak in that system? the tube you showed in the picture was new to me, so I may not have enough knowledge to help you.. grabbin' at straws, and it s bedtime.. Jojo
  2. coolant can pass through an air compressor that has a blown head gasket. no different than an engine.. unfortunately, if you bypass the compressor cooling lines for too long you risk more damage to it. so, in the morning after sitting over night, have you loosened the oil pan plug to see if coolant runs out around the plug ? does it blow mist/steam right away or does it need to warm up first? Heck??? does the compressor look like its old and crappy? does it build air pressure good?
  3. so the CCV is clean as well? no mayo........ I wonder if the air compressor is bad and passing coolant into the crankcase?
  4. how often and how much coolant do you add to the tank? have you pulled the top off the CCV to see if its got 'mayo' in it?
  5. yes,, I remember,, I was just reminded on another thread.. wouldnt it be funny if he was the guy? Karma??? I really dont hate him, just the crappy training..
  6. 😥 yep... now I remember.. I dont hate him,, just the crappy training.. You got me..
  7. so true, I just did an E-Tech cam 2 weeks ago.. I had to wait for a new cam key before I could put the cam in, so therefore, I couldnt do any lifter work, or install the rockers and jakes.. to save time..
  8. Mech, I am quite sure as you read these posts, you shake your head and say "what the hell it this crap".. I find myself doing it, and I dont have as many years in, as you do.. I wish I did more with e-6 and older engines, as well as the trucks they were in, but I came around too late.. Jojo
  9. I dont recall bit@*ng about anyone.. Hmm..?? sorry guys..
  10. I dont know the keyway guy.. should I ??
  11. I respect your response. There are a lot of helpful people here
  12. Welcome to the Dog Pound.. I'm curious where you are a Parts guy.. I'm in Salisbury.. If you dont care to post it, thats ok.. I bet you will be able to help the guys with MP's and MDrives..
  13. Isn't it in the cab fuse box? One of the black cubes to the left?
  14. I Love your Old Timey memory.. I try to soak it up like a sponge....
  15. back when i was new at this, Earl Harnden, (my old timer) taught me to cut filters open.. I have been doing it ever since..
  16. All good in my wifes truck, clean as a whistle. My old Heavy Chevy has some sludge but no debris or silver dust..
  17. I was just in my shop.. I cut some of my oil filters to check the health of the oil, and I thought I would post this. I bought this cutter on Amazon for around $35.00.. May I suggest getting one..
  18. Mech, central N.C. may be a good fit for you... Just sayin'..
  19. when I was a pumpkin driver, the last truck I had was an old western auto parts, Int. cab over. cummins / 9 spd. not governed.. it was a 75 mph truck... however, it has a 24'' sleeper and a dog house.. i used to kick the shifter when I changed my pants in the cab.. too funny.. anyway, i think they called it a ''coffin'' sleeper.. dunno... (1999) jojo
  20. ok,, good call.. just hoping its a minor issue,,
  21. is the oil sendor line to the gauge clogged? may need to un do it and pull the throttle stop and crank the engine while the gauge line is in a catch can..
  22. that seems good for an older engine. heck 17+(low idle) on some E-7's that are at work all the time was common.. I say... leave it alone.. I also look forward to other opinions, and I may learn something .. jojo
