Holy Crap!!!! I would love to drive that and kick some "snow bank ASS!!" I came from Maine, and I have been many places where that truck would "Get it done!!!" Jojo

on the fire wall.. open the hood, look at the left side, theres a 4'x6' black box... i think its in the 3rd row from the left, 3or 4 slots down from the top.. 25amp

You know......? This another reason that I like this site created by BMT.... I read posts and it jog's my memory, and then I can share what I learned... Jojo

Thanks "V" youre right..... Now I remember chasing one of these issues many years ago... I took a new battery off the shelf and grounded it to the truck, then ran a jumper to the E.E.C.U. fuse, #40 and powered the E.E.C.U. with the "isolated" battery, and the truck fired up.... damn good call "V" Jojo

So.. They want to make D.C. a state.... OK.... Then force California to be it's own country, and get that state off of our tax bill... Then they (CA) can take on all the southern border jumpers...

That truck is "Tough"!.. does the CL in the background have an E-9?

ok.. Good signs... have you checked the E.E.C.U. J-1/J-2 plugs for coolant wicking as stated in a previous post? is fuse 40 loose or dirty? its in the fuse box on the fire wall next to the steering column.. I'm trying to think of other things to check. do you have chaffed wires to the E.U.P.'s? are they secure on the E.U.P.'s? one repair I have made several times, is the harness coming out of the power distribution on the firewall rubbing on anything and shorting out the wires? jojo

Is the engine worn out? low compression due to age, please tell me you are not using ether to fire it up..

OK. now it sounds like a ground issue...pull the cluster, fix the ground to the left.... open cab fuse panel, fix the ground iside there, clean the ground breaker contacts on the firewall next to the stater relay, clean the ground behind the left steer tire and the other end of it on the engine block.. and just for kicks... make a ground wire that grounds the E.E.C.M. to the engine.. bolt it to one of the mount bolts betweeen the E.E.C.M.. and the mount stud.. they are not conductive to the block....

Well Ben.... I'm not at dealerships anymore, so.... I can't help you with that part.....there are some here that do work at Dealerships.. they will be a better source... good luck on getting the answers you need.... keep trying... jojo

these values are for both timing sensors

Interesting..... Any codes?? have you checked the Eng. Position sensor next to the overboard breather filter, and the RPM TDC sensor in the flywheel housing, at 10 O'Clock , (left side). you can Ohm them to see if they are open, you can also unplug one and try to crank the engine (after its been running and warmed up) if it cranks on the one thats plugged in, then switch off, and plug the first one back in then unplug the second one and try to crank it. if it doesnt start, the sensor that is plugged in may be bad.... I know "V" has the specs for the Eng. pos. sensor depth to the cam. I have taken the teardrop shim out and "Bingo' it cranks right up.. I will look for the Ohms. I think it's 900-1500 Ohms resistance... jojo

So when you remove the fuel filters, the fuel is low in the filter? Have you looked at the fuel lines from the tank to see if fuel is bleeding through them? I assume you checked the lines from the filter pads to the lift pump? There should be 3 lines and a #12 line that comes from the tank.. jojo

It runs, I have to get the hyd. brakes to work before I drive it. The tires are a few years old but have Zero miles on them. I'm also going to re-do the wiring, thanks Terry... Jojo

V-Mac I and II are very basic, and most diagnostics is done with your, eyes, ears, nose, and hands... If your P.C. has "Mack Software" you can use it. Does P.T.T. still link you to "Mack Software"? Assuming you are at a "Mack" Dealership...

I think Ben needs to tell us what model he's working on....

I think youre right... I thought later that it was '94 for V-MacII,, I coudlnt remember the plug thing, but now I remember hearing the plug on the firewall was a way to tell... I'm forhetting some things because I dont work on too many early 90's trucks as much.. heck,, iv'e been working on more mid 80's trucks lately, 3 superliners in the last 6 months...:) Jojo

I would like to see a picture of you're KB8... I just bought this one and am about to get it road ready... I'm chomping at the bit, Jojo

too funny Paul... Hell I know less and less everyday... Jojo

The average salary idea sounds good to me. I bet that would give them the insentive to improve their local economy. That would spread like wild fire....

your good...

theres been many times I have taken that pan down and there was a bolt missing, and it was not leaking at that spot... theres 30 bolts about 3" apart... should be fine..you could just run an 8mmx1.25 tap in there and fix it with the pan up... jojo

The whole thing Scares me...I'm a self employed "Mobile truck Mechanic" I need my customers to stay in business... Jojo

Yes you are correct. Our election was rigged to get Kamala in office... and become President.. I said it last fall to folks here and unfortunately,,, I might be right.... sure hope I'm wrong... I'm not against a (Repulican), female president, Just want the election to be Legitimate.
