    Hino is a weird one to me. Parts of them are reliable, but their emissions system absolutely isn't. The scandal at least benefits the owners, because just about all of the bad egg parts on their truck are covered under warranty programs. From what I know, the pre-emissions Hinos are solid, and I believe it. Even the post-scandal trucks are pretty decent, considering they went with Cummins B6.7's as the powerplant.

    Those Endurant transmissions are interesting at the least... At the moment, the only parts lookup I have access to is a PDF I found online, they aren't in InfoRanger or anything. They don't seem to be very reliable either, we see a lot of issues with the MTM that ends up in it being replaced.
  3. The Heinz
    Can you tell me what you think of the new improved mDrive and clutch? The information we were given stated the control housing on the transmission had been upgraded and the passthrough harness weak link eliminated, so we're all wondering if it actually would be better.

    I have GOT to plan to make it next year, I originally planned to go this year, but other things came up. Would love to see all those trucks and meet some of ya'll in person.

    I don't know anyone that has the ability to do that, or at least one that wouldn't overcharge the snot out of your wallet, in NC. There's a diesel shop in Knoxville, TN that might be able to help you if you're willing to go that route. They're called City Diesel, and I've been told very good things about them and what they're able to do.

    It also just occurred to me that you'll want to swap flywheels and pilot bearings, but I think you already knew that anyways. Early morning fog, just wanted to make sure you don't do extra work because of me! The pilot bearing for the Eaton Autoshift is 20512915.

    The flywheel housings are different, the mDrive flywheel housing is 23030729, which is luckily available to order from Mack. The engine blocks are the exact same, as are the timing gear plates and covers, so I don't see why you wouldn't be able to swap flywheel housings.

    If I had the VIN's I can cross them no problem. Just had the same issue with a customer's truck that had rolled over a while back, so they installed an engine and cab from a different truck, leading to us ordering the wrong flywheel for the engine, and then the correct one was wrong for the Allison in the chassis, because the engine was specced with a Maxitorque! We had to chop the ears off the Allison to fit it, voiding warranty with customer's approval of course (they did the same when piecing this Frankenmess together).

    I'm here, usually. Lurking in the shadows... The part number for the valve off a '98 T2180 is 25501019, Mack has them in stock.

    I think most of our guys remove from the top, I don't usually get asked for tandem pump seals.

    Is there a name on that locomotive? I can't tell on my work PC screen. Would love to know the history of that unit and what may have happened.
  12. The Heinz
    It will tell me a part number, but that's about it. I could try cross references and such, but that's nothing set in stone.

    Pretty common here in NC, especially on heavy dumps and cement mixers. ST Wooten has a lot of mixers using that design, I'm staring at one now.

    I never understood the celebrity worship thing. Sure, there's actors (mostly voice actors) that I admire for their work, and would love to meet, but that's as far as I take it. They wouldn't actually care about me, I'm just one fan out of thousands if not millions, just a drop in the bucket. As for TV, I haven't actually watched it in years. The internet allows me to put a pirate hat on and sail the seven seas, so why would I pay these greedy corporations for something their current management had no hand in?
  15. The Heinz
    Noted, I'll keep that in my mind!
  16. The Heinz
    The first two numbers supersede to the same 85105666 number, last supersedes to 25625091.
  17. The Heinz
    Number I gave was for the rears, let me grab the front ones real quick.
  18. The Heinz
    Old number 14QK2107, new number 85105666 which is available for order. They look like they're a Monroe 66891.

    I love the sound of those EMD diesels, especially the 16-645 in the SD40-2 series. I do love the roots-blown motors too, sounds like a beefy tractor.

    That harness very much so is unavailable nationwide. There is a single dealer showing one: Gabrielli Truck in Bloomsbury, NJ; I'd call them and see if you can buy it from them. Other than that, a VOR order using your VIN is your only way to get one.
  21. The Heinz
    I'd have to have either the part number or your VIN to see if I have a lead on the harness.
  22. The Heinz
    I do want to clarify, that will only help if the harness is taking on oil from the oil pan plug, we've seen the same problem up at the valve cover where the injector harness plug is. Our solution as a dealer was to replace the whole harness in that case, due to the amount of oil that contaminated it.
  23. The Heinz
    There's an FSB out there about using an anti-wicking pigtail to keep oil from entering the harness from the oil level/temp sensor in the pan. The bulletin states you shouldn't need to re place the harness, but that depends on if there was any damage caused by the oil intrusion. Here's that bulletin; the pigtail kit is available.

    They sold a lot of obsolete parts to a company called Lippert, but it's very spotty what they have.

    But hey, in order for me to get a CDL, I have to either take a lot of time off work, or not have weekends for several months. Surely this keeps bad drivers from ever getting a CDL, right?
