Ok JoJo the wires and connector looks good. Pins are find. You think i should replace it?

I see one. What should i do to check it?

On my 2000 mack RD im gettng a 2-1 code. This is showing up as engine coolant temp. How should I go about fixing this? Thanks Ricky

Jojo im assuming the sender is above the gas cap on the drivers side tank?

I do have duel tanks. Thanks JoJo

My fuel tank display is about a 1/3 of tank off. When its full it ahows 2/3 and when its 2/3rdits shows 1/3. Can someone specifically tell me how to remidy this?

Well i only have max and norm on ac and it stays closed. Looks like its not working and i really dont see the need to try and fix it. 
 

would you happen to know if these RD’s have a cabin filter? I can’t locate one if they do.

Ok i need to shut it off because i got ac. 
what is this door for? Cant open it

I didnt even see the one on the pedestal. Im guessing the air inlet temp has the black tubing coming off it? Thanks I have a lot to learn. What does the gate valve close and why? 

In the photo there are two sensors. Can someone tell me what they are. Also there is a sensor laying behind them. Any idea?

the towel wrapped around the filter housing is gone now. I was chasing down a oil leak and it was the mack filter that the donaldson filter replaced

Anyone ordered these yet? If so how was the fit?

Macks the hinges are solid. Got the weatherstripping ordered. Thanks for your replies 

Im getting ready to change fluid in the rears. Thinking of going synthetic 75-90 and have a few questions. If i drain all the oil there still has to be some old oil in there. This is not synthetic so will that hurt.

now i cant get traditional 80-90 mobile for free. Is going synthetic worth it? 

I think i fgured out my bouncing problem. I was taking off in 1st in that loose sand was not getting traction. Dont know why the back passenger tire wasn’t turning. This happened again this morning and i immediately went to lo and problem solved. Hey Im a rookie.

Mrsmarkpaul i dont really know the answer to your question. That rearend was bouncing. When that back tire was off the ground it seemed i was making little hopps forward.  When i got out on the road and could watch everything that tire was not turning, the other three were turning and that whole rearend section was bouncing. 

I didnt see anything JoJo but it could have been and just shook out when i got back on road.

Mrsmackpaul i didnt have a long skid mark. I could just see where the other three sets were digging down in the sand. Hopefully that never happens again.

I had a stranf thing happen today. We were hauling gravel to a very sand soil area. I had just dumped and found an old woods road to turn around. Once i backed up my tires started to spin. I decided I better look for a better spot and as i started forward my tandems started jumping. I raised my bed and noticed the very back tires on passenger side were not turning. The other three sets were. I tried backing up and then going forward but the soft sand and that back passenger set of tires wasnt moving. I finally got back on the road but  that back passenger set never moved. Got out made sure nothing was broke, slack adjusters were good. Got back in released parking brake and all four tires started moving. Any idea what happened?

next question is how do the rears work. Do i have a power divider? Are the front set positive track and the rear set limited slip? I dont have a button inside to lock the axles.

Also any leads on where i can get the rubber fender flares for hood

I have a 2000 mack rd.

im looking for the lighten bolt display. Mack dealer says it’s obsolete. Any leads would be appreciated. Tha ks in advance

Can anyone tell me if the 1995 hoods on the RD are the same as a 2000. I busted mine up and have found one local

I would expect a vibration in the driveline.  is it a dump truck?  do you have a teel tube under the body that has the stop cable in it?  maybe a weld broke and its rattling..  Lift axle shocks??  steerable lift axle tie rod?? or other parts of it? 

JoJo what’s the stop cable for? I have it and one end is tied to the PTO on hydraulic pump and goes to rear of dump bed. 

 I’m trying to see if my door weatherstripping needs replaced. Mine goes along the inside of frame but never comes over the lip. I have included a few photos. Also any idea on how to keep the window hardware from rattling like crazy inside the door.

What do you guys carry in your dump trucks to help out in an emergency. I have hose connectors, vice grips, duck tape, crescent wrench. I’m not talking what DOT requires but things that you keep in truck for minor repair’s. 

Perfect. Thanks JoJo
