Well after a week truck still starting hard I’ll have to dig into that check valve next

Also like fjh is saying, check the intake manifold but not with water.. just visual. I have seen #5+#6 gasket break and sneak out many times..

Yes, he is. I type "he" not "she". And he isn't Other Dog.

I would check the turbo mounting gasket and all the exhaust gaskets! To find this simply get the sound to happen and run a garden hose over the area the sound will change when you get around the area do this when the engine is in a cooler state not when smoking hot! my opinion!

the waste gate on that is actually a ring nozzle, and called Variable geometry Turbo. The set screw is factory calibrated. A common air leak occurs right there at the elbow coming off the turbo and the C.A.C. pipe.

Hi all! I have a 07 mack AC350. I'm getting a terrible screeching sound from somewhere around the turbo. After trying it while sitting I found it started at around 1200 or 1400 rpm. I then watched the waste gate and found that the noise did seem to be affected by the position of the wastegate linkage. I then put a small pry bar between the limit adjust screw or what appears to be such, and the noise disappeared. I'm wondering if 1. that's in fact what these screws are and 2. what it sounds like my problem could be. It seems like I could move the limit screw some and the noise would go away, however if that's the case am I making it so I wont get full boost? Perhaps the waste gate valve is bad? any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Yup inquiring minds must Know!

That truck sold out of Texas in 2020... i remember well because i was to slow and the owner told me it was headed to England! The texas owner (a surgeon) also had a nice B83 dump truck for sale and was quite an accomplished guy in the medical field. He had a pioneered some heart surgery procedures in his younger days. LT's are the best. Looks like substantial work has been done since its trip across the pond..

yea, sorry Paul, i should have added commercial diesel vehicles to my post. they must meet 2010 emissions regulations or be updated

As a contractor for the state, it is definitely a commercial enterprise, which just goes to show the hypocrisy of some of the laws.

People don't tend to wholesale revolution when they have a good std of living. The problem was there was a lot of money made from the extraction of raw materials, but most of the money went to the Shah and those close to the ruling party. The masses were kept in line with brutal tactics. Those that were on the receiving end of the materials and money, were fine with it. Huge amounts of money were spent on things only the few could enjoy, while the rest were told to "shut up". It got so bad that the US started to pull back on support in terms of military equipment. When the Shah had to leave (partly for cancer treatment, partly because the support keeping him in power was crumbling) the opposition, which was a broad coalition of groups from the far left to the far right, saw their chance and acted together overthrow the government. The middle and left of center were seen as more cozy to nations outside the Middle East and the far right won the power struggle that came after the fall. The rest, they say is history. If everything was so peachy, you have to wonder why a minor cleric had to live in exile in France? As I stated earlier, what should have happened according to international law and convention, was the embassy closed (if that is what the host country wanted) and the staff given safe passage out. That is not what happened and has made Iran a pariah state, that at least, is of the own making.

You might try a place that sells parts for concrete mixer trucks. The water tanks on mixers use very similar water level tubes.

So there's a few truths we all agree on In Iran in 1979 university protesters took over the embassy According to the video of news reports from 1979, the student rioters did the taking control of the embassy stunt after hearing a speech from the Ayatollah I gather that some time before this the Ayatollah asked or perhaps demanded the U.S. leave and the U.S. stayed and most likely was hoping to maintain some sort of diplomatic relations with Iran I'm guessing that the U.S. was hoping to sort the mess out and return the Shah to running Iran This certainly isn't how it ended up I don't think what happened in 1979 was a act of war based on the burning of the flag, there's been plenty of U.S. flags burnt on Americas home soil in my life time by over excited protesters and rioters that has made it on the news back to Australia It certainly is a sad and sorry mess over there with no good answers The Shah may of been corrupt but Iranian people as a whole had a very good standard of living Paul

You can register a non-compliant diesel medium or heavy truck as a 'historical' vehicle, but don't let them catch you using in commercially. Yes, non-commercial fire apparatus is a different thing.

My super duper mega ULTRA professional opinion on this whole Iran dance/Operation Epic Fury is as follows: I just want my diesel prices to go back down please. Pretty please?

This is who I had in mind https://truckecmtunes.com/index.html

If you can find someone I guess ! Wouldn’t waste time and money on it myself! It’s a farm truck you’re likley not going anywhere your going to be checked for emissions!

The ayatollah instructed the people to attack the US embassy. Under the shah, Iran became an incredible country with the highest quality of living.

After doing that, couldn’t you reprogram the Ecm with ECM Tune Up to remove any check engine lights or codes?

😅All good bro ! Just my 5 cents worth!

Just to note that the customer truck only had the plate installed under the egr valve he never had any of the usual egr cooler failures because it never saw any heat expansion or contraction! Looked totally stock!
