i would say on the conservitive side, it cost $3,000 dollars per 100,000 miles just to cover the emission and cooling system,on an egr motor.

I'm still working on a EGR system removal kit. Got the Mass Flow ECM plug with attached resistors to fool the ECM. The ECM will think that the EGR temp and flow are correct. Got the resistors from Radio Shack . Just been super busy around here. Boss man said I could try it out on one of the 04's when I get ready.

you know there bad when a dealer is willing to donate an 04 for testing

If it aint broke, dont fix it! But, I would stay on top of the fix or bypass for future reference. What year did they start using this?

your a lucky man to have puchased a pre emission truck. pay close attention to anything to do with egr or pfd or uria injection, because one of these day's you will want to trade if you go 03 or newer do plenty of research, and then dont do it, keep rebuilding your 98 till you retire

just remember 03,04,05, are not worth the rubber they are rolling on!

i hope it is called the jerryb test kit since he kinda got the ball rolling on this

i would like to be the first to puchase your test kit.

i got a feeling that when mackpro gets this perfected and marketed he will be retiring on his own island.

i spent most of today inline at the irs because my 2290 road taxes were late, so i had to pay in person,

what were you saying about gov. employ's

Whats it doing!

every thing is fine so far. im just a little scared to start monkeying with it. (blocking egr)

good lookin r modle you should post some pictures

there are crazy old guy's out there who still think its the 70s thet've got junk ass dump trucks that they run on onsite jobs if you work cheep enough they don't care about your age license or anything else cut your teeth like us oldtimers and you will appreciate it a lot more

just my opinion.

if you had an 07 with a completely new emission system on it would you try jerryb's egr fix?

thanks in advance.

That lightning bolt (electronic malfunction) light might be a tough one to find. I had a new 2000 CH with the 460 in it and I used to get them all the time. But mine would actually shut off for a split second while driving down the highway (just the same as if you turned the key off and back on). Engine and all electronics would shut down. Brought it to dealer many times, no codes. They went through all the wiring, even changed all the little pins in the ecm plug. Even had the service manager come on a trip with me to catch it in the act. Had his computer plugged in and the darn truck ran perfect that day.

Last year I came across the new owner of this truck and asked him how it's been. Said he loves the truck, but asked me "has it ever shut off on you before? It does it all the time."

i had a 1998 ch did that took months to find it was gas pedal piece of grit in servo. i never use air hose to blow the floor board clean, vac only.

i just got rid of pc 75 uu-2 great machine turn the key and work every time, i kept it greased and maintained never had any hicups, work just dried up, got tired of weed eating around it. good luck with keeping it busy.

there are pics. of it, the most dependable machine i ever owned

After looking at the specs you supplied for this truck, I can tell you that the truck in the picture is not a CHN model nor is it a rawhide. Be sure everything is on the up and up! Good luck!!!

explain please

Looking at your picture, you got your new truck? How's it so far?

waiting on parts they are supposed to send, then ill tell the whole story.

that is a good lookin ch, i see you are new to this forum, ive only been here about 3 months, but have learned every body has good input on problems, but when fjh or mackpro68, makes a sugestion, take it serious, they are very sharp on this internet machanic stuff.

every body on here has helped me. good luck with your fan prob. im sure it will be something cheap and simple. haha, nothing about trucks cheap or simple.

i would like to bail,there isnt much to choose from unles i go new and i dont want that kind of comitment in today's economy.

and i have to trade trucks

Maybe, Warranty on the paint don't know........but worth a shot

they said warrenty on paint, we'll see. im going back tomarow,drive it some more, check for leaks, any leaks im outathere

i have had a lot of good trucks and they were all macks, im not gona bail on them because i didnt do any research and got a year the gov. shoved some emission bs into

went to truck store this morning tried to be cival,they paid motel food, working on truck fixed pow ster leak steamed whole truck i drove it, they worked on it some more this deal mite work after all, was very impressed when i drove it, we'll find out tomaro.

the angle the pictures were taken is the secret. wish i had a camera with me but ive lost enough money on this deal im not gona spend any more.

over spray every where, paint already coming off hood, bottom of tanks beat to hell, im think it was used in logging

you can tell where it was covered in oil,like a twenty year old truck that has had its first engine wash.

got there a day early snuk in found it on the wash rack. holy cow what a pos looks like it fought it's way to a 25th place finish at bristol, drive it like you stole it takes on new meaning here.

don't know why im hanging around til tomarow, 1500 mile round trip,food,motel. this truck was advertised as sharp ready to work. not run in the ground.

don't know what else i could put on it besides an old school quilted weather frount

thats a very nice Truck. looks better IMO also..I sure hope it works out better for you. post up some pics after you get it home.

if it rides,drives and is as quiet as my 2004 cx i will be happy. im still worried about emission system. if i can get 200,000 miles trouble free, i will again be a mack lover, but this is their last chance,mine too. if this one is like the last one ,it will put me under.
