j hancock Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 Maybe try Peterbilt for your Mack parts? Here is a used one on ebay that looks like yours. Since Volvo doesn't want to make their customer happy, buy the part from PACCAR. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Peterbilt-3200-2E-59C-Power-Divider-Airolectric-Switch-FREE-SHIPPING/282760070274?hash=item41d5d04482:g:o0MAAOSwjodaJZJ3&vxp=mtr Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.

j hancock Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 10-4 Velvac has a couple of listings. 032231 or 032227 primarily Mack 032229 or 032225 primarily Volvo Maybe this will help narrow the search?

Mack Technician Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 Brick and mortar doesnt mean much anymore, really is a mail order world. I’d find a dealership I like within the lower 48 and make them my go to on all small ticket ltems like that switch. Or just go to PAI, as we do, for 80% of the parts we buy. They stock plenty of old school components. Did you get a PAI log on set up last time out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Contact info at the bottom of the main page or send him a private message. Best is to call the number listed, ask for Barry, and explain your issue.

If the parts guys are 1/2 as involved as MPro you’ve got quite a team! Sounds like a good organization. Build a parts portfolio on the units your dedicated to maintaining. If you walk into a dealership with a brick of printer paper and say “please” most will accommodate. Also helps to bring pizzas and pepsi for the parts guy. Do it with the night shift guys since they are typically slower work flow and generally underappreciated. If you buy parts from them they will love you for it....much better to receive a caller with solid part numbers than rack their own brain trying to figure out what your describing over the phone. That’s what I did and it works out well for everybody. Not sure how Mack “Impact” is these days, but I have a free Volvo log-in for “prosis” and a free “lidos” program. Parts is no trade secret, they give that stuff up freely and willingly to get it into your hand. Does anybody have a customer Impact log-in? Are they giving it out? If Volvo does I would think Mack would? Edited April 8, 2018 by Mack Technician Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
