Got it priced for $36,000

Its ready to go to seattle or hook to a dump or dry bulk

Been seeing them on truck paper in the high $40s

Just need to sell it!

Its been a couple years since ive been on here

Been up in north dakota for a while

Got me a company job, so im selling my truck

Anybody tthat remembers me knows how i took care of my pride & joy

Im got it priced to sell

So anybody interested give me a call

636-208-2818

I think I seen her in Elpaso workin the back row

The nut came loose. On the actuator

I'm using a hammer and chisel (spanner nut)

How tight should this nut be, I don't have a clue????

I nursed it to salt lake city, was quickly informed they needed a copy of the paid receipt, wich I produced, I was informed Mack wouldn't pay any on the repair

So I headed for Mackpro, hit a deer along the way, knew I shoulda put on a cow catcher a couple years ago.

Can't wait to see my fresh paint and cow catcher

And there was no problem with Mack warranty on the vgt actuator

My favorite is

My moma just throwed me out and I need $40 for cigs and a room

Had to replace Vgt actuator 4 or 5 months ago

This morning soon as I hit the on ramp west north platte,Ne. same problem

700 miles to salt lake. Think I can limp that far???????

Inverter, tv, printer, laptop, fridge, coffee pot, dome lights, phone charger,

I usually start it every 12hrs or so. But went about 30hrs this time.

Third set of batteries in a year

This set is less than 2 month, at least one bad maybe more

I like the Jake better

I had a 2001 that had a jakobs engine brake

My power leash does it's best between 1600 and 1800

Don't know if you read owners manual

Engine brake automatically turns off around 1,800 rpm's

I had similar problem, took a while to pinpoint the problem

I started with running the overhead, O rings, wireing and such, it is affected by oil pressure

The next thing is boost

Should be making 15 to 20lbs of boost at 1600 rpm's on 6% grade

Engine fan is around 25 brake horse power

After going through all that, my engine brake was still terrible.

VGT actuator went out, got that replaced and new exhaust manifold gasket

Boost during engine braking went from 5psi to 18psi

Made huge difference, was going off 6% like you, now I go off the same hills grossing 75,000 in 6th or 8th fanning the brake occasionally in 8th near 40 mph

Hope this helped

Just checked the radar looks like dangerfield to Texarcana getting hammered

I have an empty battery box on passenger side,

But my empty weight now Is 32,100 lbs

Gotta do my best to keep it under 32,000

Use deep cycle batteries as starting batteries and you will be dissapointed by the short lifespan. They are not made for this internally.

Do you have a suggestion ????

Rob

I'm thinking it's from drawing them down and charging them up along with shock and vibration

Next time I'm going deep cycle with rubber under them.

Just got it run up in my guts from petro

$653.00 co&@;:rs

Of corse I'm just north of Vegas middle of the desert, I would like to try deep cycle,

Fat chance finding marina around here

The starter seems to spin fine, I get one slow start then no start.

I get a jump or charge, the batteries all check good, let them set 24hrs and one or two will check bad

Shows 14.2 volts on the vmack running

12.2 when I shut down

I've been in the south west all winter

I keep it shut off as much as possible

I run the fridg, tv, key on acc. For raidio, dome light, phone charger, an occasional pt off coffee

I have a new alt.

I have tried bulldog, a/c delco, interstate,

Five to eight months is all I get

Pretty cool idea

I just went to the code site at nortrux and added that page to my home screen on my iPhone

Nortrux websiite has a fault code list

1 7 is low coolant

If the resivior is full try unplug the sensor and stick a paper clip in the plug, if that kills the code it's a sensor, if not chase wires

my personal best 46 tons net, gross was a shade over 120,000 lbs

i seen others on that job in exess of 140,000 lbs

Ran a load of shelving 38,000 lbs from san Diego to just north of bakersfeild

Come over the pass 4200 ft, making 31/32 psi boost

Going off the grapevine 6% for 6 miles could run 2 gears higher and never touch the brake, making 15/17 psi boost

Never would make over 5psi before

I think that Vgt acuator has been a problem all along but no way to tell, who wants to throw 2 grand at a part you don't know if it's bad or not

Just cruzzin around out west wiping the smiles off large cars
