Do u know where the satellite radio wire is run to as I want to keep my sirius

I have a 2013 pinnacle chu613 and I want to swap premium radio for a double din head unit. I am wondering if there is adapters to use to keep the factory sirius and integrated hands free speaker

I have 2013 chu 613 with 505 mp8 motor 13800km. About 1000km ago i noticed smoke under load thought brakes, but no not the problem that night checked oil it was down 1 liter so I added a liter next day smoke again but no panic call the dealer they tell me it's typical.so next morning started it and I looked at casing vent it had a bit of oil on it and was smoking immediately. This today still smoking under load.oil temp runs 245 oil pressure between 45 and 62 it bounces a bit have added 4 liters of oil in total.help please

Sounds like it could be a bad turbo...I've HEARD Mack had a problem with them for a few years right around the time of V*lv* getting involved and the new emission regs (EGR).....if it isn't pushing as much air into the cylinder as the fuel system is supplying fuel for, it won't all burn. That unburned fuel is leaving the cylinder as the black smoke you see...also noticed by the power NOT being produced by the fuel that is NOT being burned. It could also be a leak in the charge air system, allowing the pressure built up by the turbo to escape before entering the combustion chamber. Does the truck have a boost gauge? If so, what does it read under load?

Not sure about the fan clutch...only experience I have with them is with a log truck...the air line would come loose and the fan WOULDN'T turn on, so you'd be up on the knuckle boom loading a truck, the truck would overheat and shut down, and you'd have to go put the line back on and fire the truck back up to finish loading. Unless the clutch is wore out/sticking and just not disengaging, I'd check for possibly a sensor that could be bad and telling the truck it's running hot even if it isn't. One more thought....there wouldn't happen to be a switch for the fan, would there? I know that log truck had a switch where you could turn it on no matter the engine temp, or with the switch off the fan would come on and off automatically when the engine temps demanded it. The truck I have now, the engine fan switch is on a relay, so the fan shuts off again when the engine temps cool off to 175 degrees.

Now I'm no mechanic either...but I did stay at a holiday in express last night

the fan will be quiet until 190 200 then once it hit that temp it runs full time until u stop and even sometimes it will stay running. THere is a tea kettle sound when u accelerate in low gears without the boost so we are thinking possible air to air pipe leak. there i no on and off for the fan clutch it on a relay and the truck cools to i would guess 175 and it still runs.what sensors to check is the thing i read something about the egr sensors could cause it but not sure.truck boosts up to 30 psi under full throttle. I just shut the truck off earlier and heard an airleak its coming from wats called the vpod valve if anyone wouldknow what this is or wat it does it would be great to know i am young and learning.thanks hope thats more info to go on.p.s. it had the latest programming last year before it went off warranty if thats wat u can call it.

I am gonna admit i am not a mack fan but my company purchased a 2005 mack vision caouple years ago and we have problems wondering of someone could help seeing mack saws theres nothing wrong wit it. The truck poors a steady stream of smoke wen under load. the stacks are black, in the morning when u start it up soot comes out of the stacks. The engine fan runs all the time(air clutch) and when the turbo spools it takes atleast 10 seconds.Any help would be apreciated we don't know what to do thanks.
