Rob Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 I like the "retro" look of the black fenders personally. Have always been partial to that look. I wish there was some good advice to give on the engine but I have no experience on these newer trucks other than fixing wrecks. Some have good luck with them, some not so good but I do wish you the best of luck. It is tough out there and breakdowns or out of service time is expensive, and can make or break any endeavor.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

vision386 Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 Nice looking truck,i think you will be very happy with it,sure appears to be set-up just right for heavy haul. Personally,i have nothing but good things to say about the E-7 460 Mack,mine is almost 11 years old, 460,13 speed road-ranger,3:90's with 966,578 miles on the clock,and has performed flawlessly for me,aside from some minor issues with coolant tanks etc.no problems whatsoever with the truck itself,been damn near bulletproof. Maybe some bad ones out there,i don't know,but i have been nothing but happy with mine..................Mark Quote Mack Truck literate. Computer illiterate.

shortstack Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 Good looking tractor. I've got a '04 460 and really like it. Just a few minor problems here and there. Got 617,000 now. Trey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lucerne tractor Posted December 30, 2011 Author Share Posted December 30, 2011 Thanks gentlemen, got her home Tuesday eve, ran great, well behaved on the road. I like the ride and the room inside. The Pete was nice to drive and loaded with pulling power but was kinda small when you live on the road for long. Got a little tinkering to do, it has a espar heater for the engine with a 7 day selectable auto start, nothing there, no power to the controll pad, maybe a fuse, also one for bunk heat, it clicks like it's pumping fuel and grey smoke,cold, comes out from the exhaust for a minute or so then it shuts down. Sounds like the glow plug not igniting the fuel. Makes it hard when you have all these new switches and dials and no manuals on the truck or accesories. If anyone has a pdf on the heaters and or a pdf on the dash controlls of the 2005 cxn 613 let me know. Thanks again,Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks again,MarkIf you are getting smoke from the stack when trying to fire the heater quite possibly the igniter is bad. These are usually a spark plug or one similar to a salamander, or torpedo type heater. It also could be a hot surface type but they don't like vibration much. A clogged fuel filter can also cause intermittent firing too.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.
