Mack Technician Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 (edited) I'm always open for correction. Especially since I was a toddler and, as much as I hate to talk about it, was hammering the bottle hard during those years. Who is exclusively credited, completely excluding Renault (and Signal Oil) during their 11 year creep into ownership, for design of the E-7? It would stand to reason.......I never hated working on the E7 engine (or E6), maybe the French were excluded from the table?

The Renault name casting is only on the e tech 1998 and newer I believe, not the PIN engine that was developed in the late 80s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You raise a very good point....Mack Engines started going down hill with E-Tech. They were a joy to work on and operate before 1998. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have had 2 with a fuel "flapper" check valve in the intake of the primary fuel water seperator filter in the housing that goes for a crap. Apparently if you put a Donaldson primary water separator filter on that was made for the none common rail engines it may cause this valve to be damaged. The common rail engines have no Donaldson primary fuel filter crossover available. The Flapper valve is serviceable separately from the fuel filter housing assembly. We have also had a couple of the new AHI moduals that are part of the fuel filter housing go for a crap already I have a 2016 that is a little slow to fire when I start it and I have the chug issue at idle and at low RPM and power does seem to be down and I got a P026C code. Does this sound maybe like that flapper valve? Where is it located and do you have a part number? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
