YOU DID IT

I GOTA WATCH THAT MOVIE 2NITE

It's a whole lot better to have oil running out of the engine ECM than antifreeze. The ASET's sometimes have the low coolant sensor leak antifreeze into the harness and it will make its way to the engine ECM and rot out the pins in the ECM. The MP engines usually have the oil level/temp sensor leak oil into the harness and usually not hurt anything but make a mess(sometimes cause weird codes to appear). So as long as it's just oil were are OK. Oil pressure or oil temp sensor is probably pushing the oil into the harness, we will get it figured out.

thats cool. i was thinking ecm going bad.

thanks

i was really hoping you would tell me not to worry about the oil coming out of computer??????

its gona have around 495,000 miles this service

somebody tell me not to worrie about it

from what i have seen swift could help their safty record the most, by not allowing their drivers to have phones.

thanks

i think part of my engine brake prob. mite be the switch, sometimes i can flip it off, then on again, and it works better.

there is an oily substance coming out of the control modual on the driver side of the engine, behind the spinner filter

any time i shut down for a couple days it will hold a gallon and a half of coolant. as long as i keep running it doesn't use any....

do you think i should try a new cap before i bring it in for service????????????

headed for aquasco,md. a place called chaulk point, when i tried streets and trips it showed it about 500 yards off shore in chessipeak bay

i had a 96 ch 9spd fuller trans, had the same prob intermitten for several months, finally found yoke loose,

all i did was tighten it and every thing was fine.

there is a few of us with egr motors that have had a lot less problems, just by keeping the rpm,s up

what tank are you refering to?

the one piece coolant tank,

it helps stop coolant push, i never pull mine below 1400 rpm,s wich also helped with coolant push.

jerryb is a very wise man when it comes to egr motors and coolant issues on cx models

The kit was $54 at Houston Mack but the one I bought at Mack in Beaumont, Texas was $128 so shop it around if you can. I wish I had read the instructions before installing the first set because if you don't install them like rhasler has instructed they can cause coolant push out.

mite not be a bad idea to go to the allum. tank wile your at it

he gets a point just for being cooler than the rest of us

mcbride mack has several

i edited my earlier post, didn't think you would reply so quick

I'll make some phone calls to see if the schedule will work. I could use a trip to S. St. Louis myself to visit relatives. They are right off I-55 at Lemay Ferry. How far are you from there?

im about 20 miles south.

there is a good spot to load it in barnhardt, only 10 or so miles from lemay

Set is supplying 150 amps on all three legs last evening with all safetys working as designed. Have to retrofit the control panel to install newer style start switch and should be ready to ship.

When do you plan to head west?

Rob

ended up with a denver load.

loading 7 am thursday in blythville,ar. gota be in denver monday am.

was planing on leaving festus sat morning

loading 40ft. steel beams.

i can load a foot back, that would leave 5ft. in front

or a foot forward and leave 5ft. on the tail

i guess valva thinks, if you can't compete with it, buy it and kill it.

Still working the generator thing. Having problems with the little furry things eating on wiring. It's back to running well and making power, but need to get the safety shutdowns back operational.

im putting togather trip 2 saltlake for the end of the week

can allways make it woork next time.

well the 94 has an issue once in a while, well, a bit really. The engine just dies at times, but for a split second, when it does it the tach freaks out, it drops to nothing then flys back to where it should be. Circumstances doesnt matter, smooth road, rough road, part throttle, full throttle higher RPM's pulling a hill fully loaded....

The engine just cuts out entirely then comes right back, the worst times its fully loaded pulling a big hill, boost up around 30-35 psi (not good on the turbo when it does that!) i notice that i cant get back to 30 psi unless you get off the throttle then back on again after that. Also the engine surges, will go from 25psi to 35psi for a bit then back to 25....

have a granite that will do the same cutting out deal just not as often, and way worse. once it cuts out (alot of times in a low gear pulling a hill) you have no choice but to start in low all over again because it defuels the engine so bad and doesnt pick back up where it was before. My first day on the job i was riding along in this truck, fully loaded, on a very hard climb, it cut out and the jake came on... (switch was on)

My 04 Granite (no boost gauge) I can listen to the turbo and know when im getting full fuel. A lot of times the turbo dies off at 1500 RPM (engine defueling) but sometime the turbo keeps on goin untill less than 1400. (it doesnt just die off, kind of like going from 30psi to 15 or 20 psi) I can tell when its defueling just by listening to the turbo, let alone feel it. However unlike the others, I dont lose power entirely.

i worked for a company that had about 30 of them, we found useing a air hose to blow the floor out was blowing grit into the servo on the pedal. also found you could disasemble servo and use brake cleaner and air to get the grit out.

if you take the servo off the pedal, and turn it with a small screwdriver you can hear the grit, it only took one grain of sand to make them do that.

Hey ya'll! New to the Forum, and I am very happy to find BMT! I work for a small operation in northeast PA worin for the quarries mainly working for the gas drilling operations up here. We run a 10 truck fleet, consisting of 3 Pete's, 1 Superliner, a 94 R-model, and 5 Granite's. (i'll learn the model lingo soon i promise!) My truck is an '04 Granite Tri-axle with an 18 speed. The rest of the Granites I believe are 8LL... along with the 94, and the Superliner is a 13.

So far I think I may have figured out a couple issues were having with the trucks, like the throttle peddle (spelling?) I hope I will be able to contribute to the forum, I am no stranger to Forums, and have a couple Tech articles on other Forums in regards to the 5.9L Cummins.

welcome

whats going on with throttle pedel??????

topped off with fuel, everything loaded,including bridges and modified pipe steaks, except 6ft lumber tarp wouldn't fit in small boxes, that don't break my heart.

weight is 31,560 mission accomplished.........

I've entertained the idea of replacing my 48' float with a drop deck. Have you noticed a rate differance yet?

i had a 48 ft. by 96" combo flat that was way to heavy, and i ran across a lot of loads that were 102" wide, and they wouldn't put it on a 96

i was looking to buy a 48 x102 all alum flat, all the flats i looked at were used up, i got to looking at this trailer it is in exelent shape, and the price was rite, so im gona find out wat rates are like this week.

ill let you know how it goes......

thats the boxes off my flatbed

thanks for fixen me up Other dog

don't know wat was up with this trailer, it has original tires, like new, the drums @ brakes are like new, its like someone bought it and parked it for three years,

there was something welded to the floor that has been removed, other than that it appears new.
