    I could definitely see what engine the truck had in it originally, though if Joey's right about it being a CX or CH, it would have originally had an ASET AC being a 2006 highway model.

    There's an overflow valve on the front of the head, I think on both MP7 and MP8. Looks like the below:

    The Mack number is 8148-492SHV5R, it's a vendor part number for Sheppard. The 492 is the model number, I found the Weller options by searching that. Here's the link.
  4. The Heinz
    I would contact Weller, their website shows to have them available. The OEM side shows to be completely unavailable right now.

    I'll check when I go back to work Wednesday.
  6. The Heinz
    I vote for either Design F or L, depending on how much you like red or not.

    Could contact someone like Weller to see if they'd be interested in buying it. They have a pretty decent market for reman transmissions, maybe they'd be interested.

    PAI has them in stock, part number EST-2650. Your local Mack dealer ought to be able to order these if you want.

    Here's the diagram of the VIN Joe posted: 8 is a flex pipe, Impact says it's 21.5" long. P/N 4ME2991P17 / 25152607. 12 is a hard pipe, pretty sure it doesn't actually have that section for the dual stack crossover. It is obsolete according to Mack, 4ME4939M / 25094865. I'd honestly see if an exhaust shop could just make you a custom setup, neither PAI nor Automann had that pipe. Might work best for you.

    We've had a rash of cam's wiping out on MP engines, and go figure they're on super mega backorder. I'm fairly certain the problem is Volvo wanting to reduce mass in moving parts for increased efficiency, because the cams are not made out of one piece of metal like they used to be. Now they're almost pressed together, so go figure it's going to come apart.

    The truck was built with a 400, so that is likely what it will have unless it was changed afterwards. As for power, the easiest route I've heard on this forum is installing an exhaust manifold from an ETECH motor to restrict it less, and a better turbo. I think that includes an ECM tune as well. There's a whole post that has more info than that, I'm sure someone can link you to it.

    Impact shows AI-400 ASET, so pretty similar to Lmackattack's truck in setup at least.

    I call it a late first shift, I'll be clocking out shortly. The pictures were for a daycab.

    1990 CH613
  15. The Heinz
    Yes, a dealer should be able to give you a diagram of the exhaust piping on your truck. The only VIN I have saved for a CHU of similar age is a '97 with dual stacks, see below.
  16. The Heinz
    Definitely power steering, that's what any of the modern Macks/Volvos use.
  17. The Heinz
    That happens a lot surprisingly. We had a rash of brand new Macks coming in with dirt daubers clogging the axle vent tubes. You won't believe how hard it was to convince Mack that was causing the issue.
  18. The Heinz
    I don't know if any of them are better than the other, I don't think there was much difference between them.
  19. The Heinz
    22700131 is the number for the upper seat bushings, 22700132 is the lower seat bushings. The lowers are available, uppers are not unfortunately, with not a single dealer in Canada or the US showing any in inventory.
  20. The Heinz
    It'll be a 680, possibly a 680B.
  21. The Heinz
    It's like an unnecessarily complicated Z-Spring Air Ride, I've never seen nor heard about this before.
  22. The Heinz
    No, Atro has nothing for these bushings. They look similar to steer axle spring pins, see the picture below... ALL of them look like that, are on a national backorder, and have no aftermarket available. That sucks.
  23. The Heinz
    Oh, I've never seen that before... I've heard the V-Ride be called twin Y before so that's why I went off on it, let me see what your VIN pulls up.
  24. The Heinz
    As for seeing if there's aftermarket, I'd need at least the last six of your VIN. There have been differences in these suspensions that would lead to different part numbers.
  25. The Heinz
    Known as the V-Ride or M-Ride depending on if it's installed on a Volvo or Mack, it's the one with the super expensive V-Rods. Someone here called it an imitation camelback, which I'd have to agree. The camelback doesn't have a TPI on how to "improve" the V-Rods by using bronze races when replacing the bearing/bushing as one does a lot, the V-Ride does.
