  1. Littlerig, 8V 71's gona do that, especially if you let them idle too long. It also depends how many hrs. are on the motor?the more wear on it the more often that will happen. Also if there is a lot of oil comming out of the tube? the motor could run away on you, esp. if you let idle for more then 1/2 hour or more and you go to push the accel. it will run off of that motor oil that's comming out of that tube! could go 6 to 8000 rpm's an just destroy itself! Here's what I always check on the Detroit 2 cycle on top of the V motor is the blower Detroit call's it a scavenger blower take off the air inlet pipe there should be a Emergency shut off gates or flapper's pull the emg. cable there should be a spring loaded clip on like a cam lobe just make sure all that stuff work's freely both gate's open an close an so on I'm not trying to put the fear of GOD in you but if you do let it idle for a long period of time before you hit the fuel ped. put the trans into the higest gear then if it should run away on you , pull the emergency shut down and slip the clutch MAKE SURE YOUR BRAKES ARE LOCKED

  2. GG2 & Rob, I just put my third Ambac inj. pump on my R600 E350 4 valve only over 300,000 i forget exact mi.what's the deal with these ? I pull side cover off and thers brass in pump,asked Mack about changing to a P7100 robert bosch said i'd have change turbo ?any ideas????Ernie

  3. DeereMack,Carrying weight an pulling it are two dif. stories thats why you have to start off with the right spec truck. I have seen a lot of low boy tractors with 11x24 tires 65,000 rears 18,to 20k front ax's double & trip. frames that have 70,000 to 80,000 G.V.W.'S that i wouldn't think twice about putting a dump body on. But I agree with HK if you start out with a tractor rated for 50,000 to 56,000 G.V.W. I think your lookin for trouble. Don't forget the less GVW your truck is rated for gives you less brake,frame and so on

  4. Rob, I think all that means is it's not a trailer tire like 13/32 shallow tread,it's rated for steer,trailer,rears all around.When ever i buy trailer tires i always buy all position i get more mi.'s out of them and they cap better

  5. ab2,I was at a meeting one day at Detroit Diesels plant tours,that they used too have when Penski owned the co.I brought up that same question. I told them Mack said it's the engine brake causing the failure,well there were a group of guys from Waste Man.there said Mack told them the same thing.Only one prob.It was happining on there Florida trucks (no engine brakes).So heres what I think happens if that engine has the flat tappet lifter like on our Macks, the lifter would break an wipe out the cam lobe so we started using a syn.friction addi.to oil it seemed to work.There are no roller type tappets on my E6 motor I don't know what's on your's it's not a new prob.

  6. Don't know much about that engine? find out if it's a dry or weat sleeved engine,you could also do a pressure test on the engine side.Also when engine is COLD again COLD pull the rad. cap off an see if there our any bubbles comming up through the water that could be compression caused by a bad headgasket so as when you turn the motor off water will run down the cyl.wall past the piston into the oil this can also cause blowby (vent tube)again I don't know nothin about these motors but on my bigger motors thats what i would check good luck BULLHUSK
