No more mobile work.. I have a cushy city job now.. I just build Mack engines and transmissions in my shop.. sorry bud.. jojo

Yep, totaly agree.. Thanks. They have an extra day this year.. Yippie !!!

What style are they ? Where on the truck are they, just curious.

Is there an ABS switch under the dash above the clutch pedal. It's an orange lighted switch..

It's an 8 spd with 2 lo holes and multi speed reverse.. I really like that transmission..

20 minutes into CBS news tonight,, talk about Russia/Ukraine,,, Trump,,, but nothing about our southern border issues.. I know,,,, no surprise... I'm just pissin in the wind ... jojo

The '08 is probably an MP-7.. Because of my knowledge, I would rather rebuild the RD and have at the least a half million mile truck, than have to deal with any MP..... and an 8 LL is one of my favorite dump/vocational transmissions.... I'm a ''Negative Nelly'' when it comes to MP's.... Jojo

I have an idea... Can you run the truck to temperature, then crawl under and touch the rear countershaft bearing covers looking for a hotter one, and also, check the rears for high heat. Sometimes the noise travels through the drive shaft..

the ground wires are gray, is there a loose ground at the signal switch?

Not sure, may not be.. another possible cause would be too much pre load on the rearward bearings.. I'm trying to stay away from going too deep into this. It's hard to diagnose this one without hearing it and driving the truck.

What I found, was to be as dry as possible when cleaning. There is no filter for incoming air. If you work in dusty conditions, any extra moisture will cause it to clog sooner. I don't have a cure-all for this issue. I've just done my common procedure. I had it down to less than 30 minutes... There were many RD's in my life

I bet they were pre loaded, and pushed themselves loose, or they werent tight and they were side loaded.. Can you re-set the PTO's, or do you have to hire someone?

Busted,, Yeah , I didnt ever paint the Mack tranny's.. they werent painted in the first place...

the transmission was re-built.. When I used to rebuild transmissions, I stripped them clean.. when the transmission was done I would hook air to it and bench test it for shiftability including range shifting. I would put the stick on it and hook shop air to the shift cover, run all lines correctly and use my home made crank to operate the transmission and all its gears and ranges. then I would set the PTO'(s) and be done..

I bet the PTO's need shimming.. can you do that or will you bring it back to the shop for a warranty repair?

wow, thats cheap...

well he hasnt come back, so maybe he fixed it..

I would put my money on hard discharge pipe coming off the compressor.. They clog up with carbon... PITA to replace.. unhook the far end of it and start the engine, i bet flow will be low. jojo

I read over the postings again. I wouldnt dig in too deep right now. since its been a while, maybe start over and check for air flow issues. did you pull the top rear cover to see if the shift fork bolt is loose? Since you live in Kernersville, Transource is right there .. can they figure it out for you? jojo

luv it..... all good...

OH heck,,, i thought he was talking about the air passing through it to defrost his windshield.. Ooopps......

here is a sample of the jig i made.. all i had was a T.P roller..

I am well versed in this... remove the screws where the large duct goes up to the heater core housing. there is a rubber boot that seals the duct. slide it back a bit.. it may be dry rotted. it is a PITA to get back in place when your done.. I made a cardboard tube round enough to fit over my shop vac. hose.. (12-16 inches long) then I flattened all of it but the round end for the vac. I put layers of duct tape over the flattened end to keep it flat. then I cut a rectangular hole on one side ( not through both sides, just one) , in the flat end 3/4'' from the end.. basically making a sideways sucker for the vac. then I used a wedge to hold the large duct open and stuck that sucker in there. I chose cardboard because it wont damage the core. a combo of a blow gun and my fancy pants tools and some patience will get the dirt out.

Nope, we all see it.. don't forget the movie that will have footage from the 60' s where the fire hose was used on rioters, and Rosas bus ride, and the lunch counter,, and so- on...... Boo Whoo Whoo... I get sooo tired of rich black people crying about racism, and how whitey keeps them down..

Thank you Fani Willis,,,,, Thank you... We knew anyway.. Jojo
