mgilbert Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 It will be pulling fine foot mashed to floor and then it feels like you let off throtlle for 5 seconds then picks back up and does it again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mackpro Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Has the truck always done this? If so, there are several threads about this problem, Doing the "Step 12B" download seems to help alot. Mack knows it as the "poor throttle responce program". We do sometimes 2 or 3 a week here. Give me the last 6 of the VIN and I can see if it has been done, 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgilbert Posted February 24, 2012 Author Share Posted February 24, 2012 bought this truck used and has done it since we got it, We had in shop yesterday hopefully they'll get it this time but here is vin 055983 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mackpro Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Just had a chance to pull up your truck and it looks like a Mack dealer just did the step 12B update the other day or at least downloaded onto their laptop to install in your truck. With the T-318 transmission, 4.73 rear gears you should be spec'ed right if you have tall 24.5 rubber. Spec'ed like alot of the trucks around here, some go with the taller 4.42 rear gears for more top speed but your OK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAC Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 any chance you can check if this has been done on our 2005? 022331 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmb4wd Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 I have a 04 AI-375 that does same thing. Right when it goes to full torque it cuts back to 70% for 5 maybe 10 seconds and then turns loose again. Replaced one unit pump and injector that had multiple faults. Not as bad but still does it. Been in shop multiple times but no success yet finding problem.

There is a Step 12A and of course the 12B. There might be some other engine files as well. Assuming your truck is a CV713 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been in shop multiple times but no success yet finding problem. We just had CV in the shop doing the same thing. The throttle pedal wires at the VECU are shorting out on the kick panel in front of the passenger seat , Pull down the black kick panel, 4 screws on top and 2 at bottom at the floor. Lay the panel down look very closely to all the wiring and how they lay and contact the panel. You will probably see rub marks on the panel where the wires come out of the VECU and ABS ECM and loop back to towards the fuse panel. Repair wires if bare copper is visible . Tape up all wires where hopefully they wont rub and short out again. We have seen this many many times. And will not set a fault code most times.

joeyd Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 maybe the fuel transfer pump . our DM690SX w/AMI335 engine acted like that because the pump gear was slipping on the shaft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
