I do. It seems to be building and holding its boost perfect once you give it the rpm’s. I’ve only got to drive the truck the one day and at the start of the week going to be going through it better and hopefully figuring out some issues. The high egts are this first issue I need to figure out. Keeping your foot into the old girl isn’t an option with this old girl. The truck has sat for a couple of years now so I’m hoping I’m able to bring it back to life and make some money with her.

Thank you! A lot of good info in this post!

Hey, just bought a 2006 Mack CT713. Yesterday was my first day driving it and I found it to be underpowered for my liking. I found you needed to be in the 1600-1800 rpm range to make any power and that still was not much. I also found that I could get my egt’s to 1000 degrees quickly if I wasn’t paying attention. (air filter is brand new). It had a light black smoke coming from the stacks but nothing crazy. It also burnt around 500 litres of fuel yesterday. (3, 3 hour long trips. 1 hour on highway empty, .5 loading/ in pit, 1 hour loaded on highway, .5 unloading) I was 45,300 kgs loaded (tandem truck and tri pup) Question 1- How do I tell what engine is in the truck? It has a engine tag but because it was a reman it has no info on the tag. Question 2- What are people doing to make bigger power out of these trucks? Where can you find aftermarket injectors/ turbos/ cams. Question 3- what’s the normal rpm range on these trucks? Question 4- what’s normal highway egts? What’s max? Thanks, Ryan
