Ok so today I finally had time to change the egr pressure sensor I cleaned the ports on the Venturi I think lol my question is do the ports just go into the big portion of the Venturi or do they run the length of it I had a real small round wire brush and I scrubbed the ports with sea foam throttle body cleaner and put a new sensor on. The 1 port seamed very plug very small hole until I got it all cleaned out.

Not to be a cheap azz, I usually buy only OEM especially for specialty or critical parts like these. But this truck is bleeding us dry.. Have any of yall ever tried the knock off ecm’s on eBay? They look 100% identical and another listing shows the innards and it also looks identical to a real Mack/volvo ecm with no visible differences in the circuitry. Any reason why this wouldn’t work? I got quoted $3900 for an oem ecm blank.. trying to save some money if at all possible.

Update, truck ran all day today and functioned perfectly. I’m still concerned about the truck burning this ecm as it’s the very last one I had in my parts stash. I’m ordering a brand new one tomorrow and I’ll have the ecm shop clone it again. Heinz provided me a part number for the whole engine wiring harness. My plan is to install the new harness and new ecm at the same time, I will also be installing the additional ground cable directly on the Ecm body like I have it now, can’t hurt anything I guess. I’ll put an order in by tomorrow for the parts and the truck is set to come back to the shop in a couple of weeks at which point I’ll get it all installed, as long as it survives until then anyway..

Not sir, the fuel lines are still routed to the cooling plate like it came from the factory. Looks like this will end up being an electrical issue from what I’m gathering

I agree. I think that as these things age, the factory installed ground strap starts to lose connection until the ecm eventually burns itself from trying to find ground through other circuits. Just a theory though, I wish I knew for sure.

Read up Jojo. There's no wine come 'n outta that scumbag's winery. Right up there with the learing centers

Funny thing is... Alcohol is prohibited in Somalia under Sharia Law.. But..... She owns a Winery......

MarkT... Ilan Ohmar owns a winery in California.. You could buy her wine. 🍷

Yes it was Paul. We teamed up to clean the roads at the 2 waste water treatment plants that I do maint. at. Hes a good operator, he just got a bit cocky.. If it wasnt a shoot boom, we would have had to call a wrecker..

Think it's served with wine, but it's not available right now.

Great way to spend some time....Love it. Paul

That reminds me of mowerman- didn't you say you found a package that the Fed-Ex or UPS man had thrown over the fence into the neighbors yard in the snow one time, and you didn't find it until spring, after the snow melted?

I heard they just discovered another fraud caper in Maine haven’t seen. Much on it … media is too busy with worthless shit

.

Ayuh, but the sled would have sat for 20 years, while it waited for this weekend.. Yeah... Im good..

Now if you hadn't sold your snowblower and snowmobile! Ayup.....

lol no thanks

To be honest... I have been in Central N.C. for 20 years, and this is the single most snow fall I have seen here. I kinda like it, brought me back to Maine for a bit. 🍻
