  1. Has anyone done engine swaps on the 2003 CX613's? My top end went again on the ASET 460, the mechanics who did the work will not warranty their work. So instead of trying to keep trying to fix the same box I had wondered if anyone has swapped in a detroit or a ISX or cat? I have an Eaton 13 behind my 460 now.
  2. Again thank you so much for the help I was wondering though, do they make a big cam kit for these? Or maybe an engine brake that does more then sound like a big dog growling? I've read injectors work well on these, I'm counting my pennies to get a set from Rochester or northwestern, then maybe get a chip/box. I'd love to make this tractor shine, I've yet to see one done up, I've already lined up low profile rubber, also planning a 2" suspension drop, got the brother fabbing up some custom stuff for her on the plasma table as well. Everyones all over the KW's and shakers but I'd like to build my girl into the belle of the ball lol
  3. Apparently it's the Jake valves that are the problem? He read something that said when 1 exhaust is closed all the way then adjust 3? Makes no sense to me, does this make any sense at all?
  4. That was pretty rude of me guys, I didn't thank you for the help before bugging you again. Thank you, and thanks again lol. He is about to try one last valve set mid-load here. The mechanic seems pretty good, he's far from incompetent I think, as I said he just is in the dark on this.
  5. Litters big dollars to replace?
  6. Let me start at the beginning here, first there was man...oops too far back lol. I am running a 2003 Mack Vision (CX613 I believe) with a 460 and an Eaton 13. I run loads from Vancouver to Calgary and back 2 or 3 times per week. Not as fast as the guys with actual horse power but I manage to get there lol. Tuesday of last week I was running on a flat stretch by Chase BC when I instantly lost power and the engine started making a loud whopping noise. Almost like a blown turbo or broken Jake. Turns out the bolts holding the rocker shaft on broke on one end and the shaft bent. Mack knows they are a problem, there is a service bulletin on them from 2008. After paying a mobile unit to come out, then getting the tractor to town then parts and repairs AND losing my load. This has been very costly, my problem is this though the shop doing the work has never worked on one of these and can't get the valve set right. They are setting it like a cat or ISX engine and it's not performing properly, I'm hearing a whop whop noise from my intake still and power is even less then before. Is there a different way to do a valve set on these? Can someone lay out the procedure for us please? I wanted Mack to do the work but they can't look at it for a couple weeks and down time is a killer as we all know. Any help would be appretiated, thanks guys
