Here in Aus, they're still widely used, especially out bush. But if your within earshot of the major cities they are fairly useless. To many steering wheel attendants with big egos and small brains. Mostly vile and unnecessary talk, and if you do need to use it, helpful replies are hard to find.

G'day Moose, What year's your CH? Pre Etech E7 would be Vmac 2 which doesn't list a 3-3 flash code, 2-2 would be coolant temp sensor and 2-4 would be intake air temp sensor Vmac 2 manual https://macktrucks.vg-emedia.com/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductId=6112 Etech and ccrs are Vmac 3,which lists 2-2 as boost air pressure sensor, 2-4 as transmission oil temp sensor, and 3-3 as engine speed/ position sensor Vmac 3 manual https://macktrucks.vg-emedia.com/ProductListing.aspx?keyword=8-211

Thanks DMM, easy to get confused with different terminology. Mackpro, over 1400amps, those starters must've been glowing red hot. Engine to frame earth/ ground on the ones down here in Aus will be on the passenger side👍

Most likely bad earth, check/ clean/ tighten connections from block, starter, chassis and isolator if you have one. Make sure you don't have a dud battery in the mix, charge and test them individually. Check armature housing on starter for loose bolts, the 2 long ones that run from back to front of housing, seen lots of these come loose and cause hard starting. See how you get on.

Sounds like a blocked fuel line, like mackpro said, check banjo fittings. They're a PITA for causing fuel blockages. Also any elbows in the system are good at catching debris and blocking. Pull the pick up and inspect, check tank too, have seen all sorts of rubbish floating in tanks that block the pick up randomly. Blow air back through all lines before reconnecting. Not sure if it's got nylon or rubber fuel hose, but seen plenty of rubber lines come apart inside, little flap of rubber acts like a shut off tap when on a pull. Anyway good luck. -

G'day, been floating around on this site for a while now, and wow! what a wealth of information you blokes are. 👍 Thought it about time to say hi. Didn't get bought up with trucks, but always wanted to get into them. Anyways, turned spanners on them when I could, drive them when I could, then bought them when I could, and now here we are. Didn't start out with a Mack, couldn't afford it 🤣🤣, not the second truck either, but the third and soon to be fourth. 1st one 1999 CLS Trident, 470 etech 18spd RR. 2nd very soon addition R model. Anyways keep up the good work. Cheers Adam
