When you take the cover off, at the lower edge of the fuse panel is a "bar" with about 8 studs with wires attached to each stud, they may be labeled. If you need to isolate the 2 cigarette lighters in the console, you can tie into the stud that say's battery power for full time power, or to the ign. post if you want key on only power. if you do this be sure to install an in-line fuse holder so you can protect it.   The fuse panel by the clutch is called the: E.P.D.M.........  Engine Power Dist. Module... That's for what's under the hood, a trailer, and M-Drive or Allison tranny's.. I'm sure I left something out......,Jojo'

Got it. Thank you for your fast reply and all the good information.

isnt there a triangular panel on top of the dash with 3 screws holding it down?  thats the cover for the fuses... there is a buss bar at the bottom when you look at the panel. keep in mind its a Volvo, all the gray wires are grounds...  Jojo

Yes there is in fact. I'll be checking there then.. what's a buss bar?

I have a 2009 Mack Granite GU713.

Need help finding the Fuse for the cigarette outlet, and or the other outlets so I can charge my phone.

I know there's a fuse box located behind the clutch but it has no labels.

Was wondering if there's another fuse box elsewhere? If there is another one, which fuse box do I check for the power outlet?

Hope I wasn't confusing.

Mack’s are very tight and we joke that they are for real drivers, that anyone can drive a smash and grab fuller. Do what works you and the truck.  

Lol. Will do, thank you

Yes and no.  Mine shifts easier at those higher rpm, but when you get use to it you will probably start shifting around 1750-1800.  The hardest part for me was getting use to how touchy the electronic pedal is on the macks.

Thank you for your reply!

Your info will give me an idea of what to expect. Obviously by ear would be best but wanted to know if that high of rpms was needed on the Mack. I've only driven 10 speed Eaton, where the rpms usually 1400-1600 range (for me at least)

What ever works.   

Does 19,000 - 20,000 rpm (according to the guy that has driven it) seem right?? It'd be my 1st time driving a Mack and that type of transmission. Wanted to get thoughts on it.

Thanks

Robust ? Stiffer ? More overdrive ? .73 .74 over  you can tell the difference between .01 over  ?  you can buy a brand new Fuller from LKQ for less than the average repair of your beloved Mack 18 and still have a pig, I really like the multi speeds in reverse but the my 8LL has a lolol in reverse and a higher speed in low side, compares to my Mack, but the Fuller is so much user friendly,  and quieter  and I'll bet that a Mack with a Fuller gets better fuel mileage, it takes a huge amount of power to turn the Mack trans, put one on the floor and spin it by hand and then spin a Fuller ??  that's $$ up the pipe.

Do you have the t310mlr transmission? (See Picture)

If so, what rpms do you upshift at?

Rev counter meaning what rpms the gear starts at??

New to this Mack Granite with T310 mlr Transmission. The truck doesn't have a shift pattern diagram in the cab, but after looking it up apparently it has lo/lo, lo, 1, 2 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.

My question is at what rpm do I shift? Another driver told me around 20,000 rpm. Seems a bit much to me. Is that right?

Please help!
