So It seems like the housing is listing to the right.. When were the main bearings replaced? I swear I am not trying to make a mountain out of this, just asking.. engine runs clockwise, making the thrust side , the right side.. ?? the dowel that is a blade type is older but not sure if it correct, I see full round pins in E-Tech's, the bladed pins are to be installed vertically.. the bolts on your engine are METRIC.. i dont get the 7/16 x 14 size.. I'll be right back... I will get the bolt size in a bit... jojo

yes to locating dowels,, So the reading s you have may be good.. keep in mind that the crank shaft may move eliptically because of main bearing clearence, and wear.. You are allowed .020" of runout when checking with a dial indicator on the end of the crank shaft. I can not post pics anymore, so if you P.M. your cell #, I can send pics from my Book.. there is also a specific flywheel housing for Allison's and the inner mounting bolt are specific, similar looking bolts can bottom out and not tighten to around 170 lbft properly.. I hope I can help you, jojo

are these readings posted, as they were read on the engine? is .022 at 12 O'Clock? , then 3 O'Clock, is '0' then 6 O'Clock is .013, and 9 O'Clock is .028?

if the over board breather isnt puffing like a freight train.. I would just do the bottom end and an oil pump. Then freshen up the cooling system.. new coolant, thermostat, fan clutch if its viscous, even the water pump.. Terry and FJH, nailed it.. I would easily choose PAI parts for this repair.. I'm building an E-Tech now, with PAI parts.. The oil pump actually came with a new pick-up tube.. jojo

Abortion used as "Birth control" is atrocious!!!. Saving the mother's life is a different story.. How the hell did these WACKO'S get so much 'Street Cred'???? The internet puts info out there instantly, and the 'sheep' suck it up as 'creed' without thinking about it for a bit before saying. 'Hell yeah, I'll make a sign and protest'... Because my feelings got hurt..... You racist white man..... anyway,, getting pissed again... Like I said, i'm not well educated... but I believe I can see through a lot of the B.S. .. jojo

I had another thought... check the bell housing flange for wear that could causes the bell housing bolts to loosen, and therefore cause the tranny to move, and crack the flywheel housing.. I had an '01 RD that had loose bell housing bolts, and I would remove them and put lock tight on them, put'em back in, and next service they were loose again.. I knew it was the bell housing, but because it was a T-2070 tranny, and I handled all maintenance intervals, I just kept tightening them whenever I saw the truck, until it was time for a clutch, then I Sent it to "Overdrive rebuilders" to get the case replaced.. and a re-build.. jojo

since it is an E-Tech CCRS engine, Flywheel housing should just bolt on properly.. It certainly wont hurt to check it, especially because of the current damage to the flywheel housing.. jojo

you can make your own 'run-out' gauge using a dial indicator with a magnet base, or whatever you make, and a piece of flat stock with (2) 5/8" holes in it to bolt to the crankshaft.. jojo

Amen brother... My last go around at Mack, showed me the BS... I would use the dealer portal at home while I was doing my ProPath training, to print off as many manuals as I could afford paper and toner for.. I have (4) 3 ring binders full. about 1 whole reem of paper... just sayin'.. however, i do as much as I can to stay away from 2007 and newer trucks, in my service business.. so far, i'm ok.. jojo -

Tilt and telescopic steering wheel
Joey Mack replied to Concrete cowboy's topic in Modern Mack Truck General Discussion
I beleive there is a campaign on this issue.. I replaced a few of them because the 'clutch' if you will, wont grab.. If I remember right, the whole frame around the steering column is replaced as a unit, cable included.. there afre a few ways to post pics, I would just e-mail the pic to myself then drag and drop it into my post.. my suggestion is to reduce the size of the file to Kb's, so that you dont use all of your data quota in a hurry... i made that mistake, and now I cant post pictures any more..

I read the original post again. I was curious about the evap core freezing up if it is not draining good. A faulty pressure switch is highly possible. On some earlier Mack/Volvo's, I have gotten stumped by a bad compressor, because I wasnt familiar with the internal clutch type compressor. I replaced a control panel because I thought all issues pointed towards it, I was wrong. I guess I would do a pressure switch.. good chance its a simple issue, since you said the system has never been opened up.. keep in touch,, jojo

Mike, have you put a gauge on the oil gallery to see if oil pressure is good and stays good? jojo

and then look inside the sensor plugs (sensor side) to see which one(s) is feeding the wires.. jojo

To check for air in the fuel on an MP, there is 2 ways. Commonly, you hook a long clear line with a banjo fitting on one end that fits correctly to the banjo bolt on the fuel return, located at the front of the head behind the lifting eye. Then you run it back into the filler neck of the tank and submerge it into the fuel, run the engine and look for bubbles/suds.. and there it is.... another setup has you hook to the fuel filter pad, on the left side of the engine, unfortunately, I forgot which port you hook too. once again, a clear hose with the correct banjo fitting on one end. jojo

my guess is the liners with the orings near the top of the liner. Mack did away with them when the E-Tech came out. I dont remember them in the first E-Tech's, but maybe.. I know I built a few E-7's that had them and the new liner kits did not... Of course I have only built about 30 of these engine's, so I really haven't seen it all yet.. jojo

warranty would be great, but I think its 1 year on non-driveline parts. now if an extended warranty was purchased, that may help, but 3 years is a lifetime with this new junk, and Volvo, wont pay for it. jojo
-
I guess, my idea was to get quality used parts, via UPS or FED-EX.. I am lucky to have them close to me. I wish others would buy engines from them for me to build.. jojo

https://dexheavydutyparts.com Joe H .. look them up. I have an E-Tech engine in my shop that belongs to a customer from Missouri. He bought it from a location 30 minutes from me, I went and picked it up, and I am re-building it.. They have a boatload of parts.. Good luck, jojo
