  1. What model and year is the truck? 98ish -2006,. Rev. Light is fuse 41 in the dist. Box under the hood.. maybe you explain the issue you have in more detail.. Jojo
  2. I'm just curious.... Were you able to put a gauge on it to get a true oil pressure reading?? Jojo
  3. It reminds me of 23 years living in Maine.. God Bless you.. It's a good thing we are experiencing Global Warming, otherwise, it may have gotten to -40.. Jojo..
  4. Yes to all. Try checking the u- joints and yokes.. yokes should be tight and not able to move up and down.. if you see a shinny ring on the end of a u-joint cap, it is loose. Keep in touch.. Welcome to the Dog House... Jojo
  5. I get it,, OD... My wife has bought those before.. I'm just glad it has booze in it.. 😂
  6. You posted on an old post... No biggie.. welcome to the Dog House 🏡... Jojo
  7. 75/90 synth..
  8. Yes, there should be blow by.. like I was saying,. I'm grabbing at straws, because of all the new parts, plus, he just acquired the truck, so history is unknown,. And it is an AC ASET... So there is a bunch of sensors to deal with.. and ether is used to start it,. And,. Well... Not being there in this case, is tough too.. jojo
  9. Isn't there a fuel filter up high near the steering column? I wonder if, after it sits for a while, he takes it off to check the fuel level in it to see if it drained back to the tank?? I am trying to fix this in my head,,. :). But I'm getting foggy... also,. Does pumping the primer before starting it, make it start?? Jojo
  10. Yes it can.. he can get this done with minimal Mack involvement, or lack there of...
  11. Looks like someone is waiting to see what that Smirnoff will do... Or maybe he wants a Swig.. Merry Christmas, Tom and Zina.... Jojo,, sorry I forgot the pups names..
  12. Mark, the last time I ordered the big Atro torque arms,. I have the vendor the length ' on center'. And the bolt hole with,. And size,5/8" or 16mm.. jojo

  14. Atro makes a strong torque rod for that suspension..
  15. I just went back to page 1... He just got the truck.. what's the chance it is already addicted to either, and needs 'A Hit' to get started each day.?? I think a compression test is in order.. what say y'all?? Jojo
  16. Judging by the picture of the airbag support. I would say that where the u-bolts clamp the springs in place, there is a good bit of wear.. do you see rust under the u- bolts or spacers, and also a shinny polished look on top of the banjo housing, under the torque arm mounts.. ?
  17. Mack tranny's since the mid. 90's took 75W90 synth. From the factory.. Do you have a Maint. And Lube book? There should be other grade listings for the region and usage..
  18. Merry Christmas!!!!
  19. Ok.. im grabbing at straws.. I guess since you confirm the elec. Issues are out, for the most part.. I guess it's back to loss of fuel prime..
  20. Yes check the RPM/TDC harness.. I suggest you take the heat shields off and look really good at the EUP wires.. they tend to rub through, and can short out against the block.. it is a bit of a long shot, however, I have fixed many of them too..
  21. I wish. Ether was not needed.. it's not healthy for a diesel..
  22. I have fixed many bad wires at the flywheel sensor, on the engine side of the 2 wire harness.. I find the insulation rotted off, and sometimes frayed wires, and even a terminal in the plug, loose and pushed in too far to make a good contact.. and as stated, a starter that is drawing to much power, can cause this issue. I assume you don't see any outside diesel leaks around the file pump or lines.. is the oil level rising due to a leaking fuel pump seal? Jojo
  23. What is the voltage drop while it is cranking?? Like FJH said, below 10 volts, the EUP,s won't fire.. of the starter pulls a lot of amps, it will lower the available voltage for the EUP's..
  24. I will send some next week.. we will be in the 60's.. Global warming is a joke... The Earth is going to do what it wants too.. our old trucks, are Not the issue.. I have a generator in my shop for a customer. I will be out there tomorrow.. glad you got some of the cabinet work done..
