2005 Mack Granite cv713
Joey Mack replied to Dngservices's topic in Modern Mack Truck General Discussion
does the engine look like it was re-assembled? New heads, Turbo, water pump, fuel lines, Paint, air filter, radiator, ? If it's an IEGR engine, and was really re-built, check warranty status. The IEGR engines are good, .. Good luck , Jojo -
Just curious.... does the truck have an A.P.U.?

Just curious... "V".. are you suggesting there is a Davco filter on the truck and it failed?? I'm trying to think how this could happen on a Legacy engine... sounds like an 8-3 code... i dont think he has an MP ...I pay attention to to what you write. I worked in mack dealerships for 9 years.. i left 2 years ago... Glad youre here, Jojo

Hello again, i checked with P.A.I... I was not able to buy directly from them, this is the second time I tried recently.. I have a login name and password with them. My question is, Do I have to be a big truck repair shop or Dealership ? Have you been able to buy from them? I found what I need at another parts supplier, the parts were.... P.A.I.... It reminds me of not being able to buy Kent-Moore and O.T.C. tools directly.. Take care, Jojo

engine swap from mack ac 380/410 to ac 427
Joey Mack replied to Bigcountry98's topic in Engine and Transmission
I may have misunderstood the question, you said "swap".... I was thinking Horse power rather than whole engine... Sorry, Jojo -

engine swap from mack ac 380/410 to ac 427
Joey Mack replied to Bigcountry98's topic in Engine and Transmission
dont you also have to install an offset cam key with the white side facing out?? (3 degrees advanced) Jojo -
im wondering if the tappets for the power leash were installed wrong on all 6... the pin goes up into the rocker and the cap goes on top of it... was the power leash adjusters backed off? that engine has spring loaded push rods on the exhaust, and pinless intakes but also may have pinless exh. bridges too... there is a lot of room for pushrod stroke if all is backed off like you said..

did you check the "H Rings" to see if they had moved and - or turned??

air buzzer on when signals on
Joey Mack replied to Brad Carpenter's topic in Electrical, Electronics and Lighting
This is a multi buzzer, it buzzes for air, oil pressure, coolant level, and ....yes the dang turn signal... its annoying, there is a triangular bracket left of the clutch pedal, there is a wide plug that goes to it, you can unplug it...however you need to watch gauges, because now its like an old timey truck where you have to watch the gauges, because there wont be a warning buzzer, also.. if the D.O.T. man pulls you over... plug it back in...JOJO -
RD688S diag port

above the clutch pedal...under the dash -
I understand... No one wants to do this WORK anymore.. Young;ins are told they can fix them with a laptop at a starting wage of $22/hr... Forget getting greasy,, I tried going back to a Mack dealer to work up into management, I was told that my 20+ years as a Mack mechanic, and I have 5+ years O.T.R. and construction , driving late 70"s Mack RD's and DM's.... was not what they were looking for.. They need a computer person, who can talk to customers... Anyway, this kind of thinking is part of the reason why there are less new mechanics... I have also had people hang up on me when I tell them my Price.... ok, I'm done now..... Merry Christmas.. Jojo

427 ASET coolant in oil and air intake manifold
Joey Mack replied to Brad Carpenter's topic in Engine and Transmission
Have you looked inside the EGR cooler? pull the exh. pipes off of it and see if its wet with coolant... pressurize the cooling system to 20psi and look for a leak or bubbles , in the cooler... im scratching my head right now,,,,, just for kicks, pull the air compressor intake tube off and look for coolant there, mabey coming from the air compressor,,, i think the intake for the compressor is before the turbo, in the intake pipe off the air cleaner, older models got the air feed from the intake manifold, which was boosted by the turbo. good luck, Jojo -
exactly!!!!

I forgot to ask if you have mack rears,, also, was there a wear ring on the spindle and you installed 393-0173 stemco, that is why it was tight... the wear ring needs to come off, buff the spindle and if it is not damaged you can use the stemco seal, if it ha light damage, the 2 piece stemco seal kit is what you need... there are specific drivers to do the installs, can you post the stemco seal you used, I have a chart and can cross it that way....
